Samsung has revealed how it makes Galaxy phones and tablets more secure. It is through something called Project Infinity, a mechanism that is designed to find security loopholes within the hardware and the software and fixing them as soon as possible.

Samsung's Project Infinity makes Galaxy devices secure by dealing with threats

The Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team within Samsung's Project Infinity, along with Red (RED), Blue (BLUE), and Purple (PURPLE) teams, identify real-world conditions to make Galaxy phones and tablets more secure.

RED and BLUE teams perform proactive attack and defense functions to find security loopholes in devices. The PURPLE team does both attack and defense for certain critical areas. These teams are spread across the world, including Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

The CTI team is directly involved with security updates that Samsung Galaxy devices get every month. Apparently, it explores Deep Web and Dark Web areas, which are bustling markets for security exploits, illicit hacking tools, malware, ransomware, and spyware. This is also where you can find confidential information related to corporations and customers.

Once a threat is discovered, the security teams at Samsung work with developers and operators to lock everything down and fix the issue. Samsung also works with external members and agencies to identify threats and security loopholes. It is offering a maximum reward (via Samsung Mobile Security Rewards Program) amount of $1 million to ethical hackers or developers who can identify several vulnerabilities and attacks.

Justin Choi, VP and Head of the Security Team at Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience), said, “We closely monitor forums and marketplaces for mentions of zero-day or N-day exploits targeting Galaxy devices, as well as any leaked intelligence that could potentially serve as an entry point for system infiltration.
