Samsung Electronics home appliance becomes first product in the industry to receive 'Diamond' IoT security rating from UL Solutions

Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI Robot Vacuum and Samsung's Family Hub Refrigerator line with Knox Matrix security and data encryption technology have been certified 'Diamond' security level by UL Solutions

Samsung Electronics officially announced its new multi-function robot vacuum cleaner, Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI^(first)and the Family Hub Refrigerator line⁽²⁾ has been certified by UL Solutions with a 'Diamond' security rating for IoT security. UL Solutions Inc. is a global leader in applied security science, evaluating hundreds of marketing claims each year, and one of its services is the UL Certified IoT Device Security Rating process. , supports verification of hacking risks and security levels of smart home devices. The Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with AI Family Hub™+ has become the first product in the home appliance industry to achieve 'Diamond' status. Additionally, other Family Hub Refrigerator models and the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI Robot Vacuum also achieved the same certification.

UL Solutions' ratings are divided into five levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Each level requires passing rigorous tests, and within these, products can only achieve 'Diamond' level certification after passing tests assessing their ability to detect malware manipulation. harm, prevent illegal access attempts and anonymize user data. In particular, products achieving this highest level differ from the 'Platinum' level in that they need to be able to test for unknown potential vulnerabilities and operate early detection programs for vulnerabilities. this security hole.

The importance of IoT security is growing as Samsung products have become smarter with artificial intelligence (AI) features and connectivity through SmartThings. Samsung devices are designed to interact with each other, so they automatically adjust intelligently with just a signal.

Miyoung Yoo, Vice President and Director of Software Development, Consumer Electronics (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics, said: “AI is gradually becoming a more important part of everyday life. of us, and this is especially evident when AI is integrated into household appliances. Therefore, security has naturally become more important than ever. At Samsung, we are constantly working to ensure that data security innovations go hand in hand with our technological advancements. We will provide a secure environment where customers can truly enjoy an AI-powered connectivity experience.”

To establish this smart living space, each device and the data transmitted between devices must be protected. All Samsung home appliances are protected by the unique 'Samsung Knox' security principles and all WiFi-enabled products come with an integrated chip (IC) that encrypts data. , protects data from breaches and attacks. 'Knox Matrix' is a security solution designed to protect connected devices and enhance security. With end-to-end encryption (E2EE) technology that encrypts all shared and synchronized data, Knox Matrix provides the ability to secure sensitive information across multiple devices, allowing them to monitor each other. intelligently detect security threats and send notifications to other devices in case one of them is attacked.

These two products that integrate AI features are designed to make users' lives easier. Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with AI Object Recognition feature,⁽³⁾ Smart technology capable of identifying people,⁽⁴⁾ pet,⁽⁵⁾ and even hard-to-see objects like telephone cables so users don't have to clean them up before use. The device also comes with Spatial Recognition technology,⁽⁶⁾ automatically draws the layout of the house and suggests names for each area. Finally, AI Floor Detect (AI Floor Detection)⁽⁷⁾ is a feature that senses when the vacuum cleaner is on the carpet, determines the depth of the carpet and prevents the carpet from getting wet by lifting the mop off the floor.

Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with AI Family Hub™+⁽⁸⁾, the latest version of the Family Hub line, also comes with many AI functions to serve each user's individual needs. 'AI Vision Inside' feature⁽⁹⁾ intelligently identifies fresh food items placed in and out of the refrigerator and automatically creates grocery lists. 'SmartThings Food' will then suggest recipes based on available ingredients. Users can easily come up with meal ideas and avoid food waste because they can take advantage of many available ingredients.
