Samsung Knox gains new security and privacy features

Samsung announced important new features are coming to its Knox security solution. If you’re using a Galaxy device, these features will further enhance security and privacy so that you can safely share data with whomever you choose.

The first new feature coming to Samsung Knox is Private Sharing, which joins the solution’s Quick Share package. This is a file-sharing function that lets users share their data with ease.

With Private Sharing, the data you send can only be opened by the designated recipients. Also, the new feature allows users to set permissions and expiration dates for the data shared, so it’s only viewable for a limited amount of time.

Not to mention that you’ll be able to give read-only access without the ability to re-share, revoke the data access whenever you like, restrict screenshotting, as well as see when the recipient received and opened the files.

In order to take advantage of the new functionality, simply select the file you want to send, and tap the Share icon. Then, choose Quick Share, followed by the three dots for more options in the top right corner. Finally, select Turn on Private Sharing and once the message has been sent, you’ll be able to change the expiration date or revoke sharing permissions.

Samsung also announced that starting with the Galaxy S24, Enhanced Data Protection offers one more layer of protection for Galaxy devices when a user syncs or backs up their data with Samsung Cloud.
