Samsung Wins Key European Cybersecurity Certification

South Korean manufacturing giant Samsung has reached a major milestone in Europe.

The company is now the first South Korean brand to receive Europe’s RED Cyber Security Testing Laboratory certification.

The recognition, given by TÜV SÜD, allows Samsung to independently test and confirm the safety of its connected devices for the European market.

Samsung is now ready for the new cybersecurity regulations under the European Union’s Radio Equipment Directive (RED). 

This will take effect in August 2025.

Samsung has done well for itself to meet these standards ahead of its rivals. 

The company is showing a strong commitment to improving the security of all internet-connected products.

RED rules comes into play in several aspects of electronic development. 

Its rules are active in network safety, data privacy, and online fraud prevention.

Therefore, these rules are applicable in the development of a host of devices, from mobile phones to smart home appliances.

This certification means Samsung can now perform security testing on its own.

Therefore, it will have greater control over its products.

Over the years, Samsung has invested heavily in research and security. 

This is to ensure that they can check and certify their own devices.

With Samsung's advanced testing systems, it can meet some of the highest global standards.

This not only helps Samsung follow EU rules but also strengthens its reputation as a brand customers can trust around the world.

Seo Jeong-wook, CEO of TÜV SÜD Korea, praised Samsung for its expertise.

He said Samsung’s evaluation system is now on par with the best in the industry.

For him, this makes Samsung a model for other rival brands to follow. 

Cybersecurity is like locking your doors at night.

It keeps bad people out and protects the things that matter to you online.

Without it, anyone could sneak in and cause harm. So, what Samsung just got is very important. 

Testing its products gives the company an upper hand as stricter rules launch worldwide.

If these rules are met, the company will be way ahead in terms of consumer confidence.

It will also be able to deliver secure products, and above all, build a solid trust in the tech space.
