Internet security
Samsung takes a number of steps to protect its Internet-
compatible Smart TVs against unauthorized incursions and
hacking. For example, certain sensitive communications
between the TV and the Internet servers are encrypted. In
addition, the TV’s operating system has adopted controls to
prevent the installation of unauthorized applications.
Although we take steps to protect your Smart TV and
personal information, no Internet-connected device or
transmission is completely secure. We therefore encourage
you to take additional steps to safeguard your TV, secure your
Internet connection, and minimize the risk of unauthorized
access. These steps are listed below:
࡙ When Samsung releases software updates to improve
the security of your TV, you should promptly install these
updates. To automatically receive these updates, turn
on Auto Update in the TV's menu (
> Menu >
Settings > Support > Software Update > Auto Update).
When an update is available, a popup message appears
on the TV screen. Accept the software download and
update by selecting Yes when prompted. Take steps
to secure your wireless access point and network. Your
access point's manual should provide additional details
about how to implement the following measures:
– Secure your wireless access point's management
settings with a unique password to prevent
unauthorized changes to security related settings.
– Implement standard encryption (e.g., WPA2
encryption) on your wireless access point to secure
your wireless network signal.
– Secure access to your wireless network with a hard-to-
guess password.
– Confirm your access point's firewall setting is enabled
(if so equipped).
– Make sure that all your Internet-connected devices are
behind your network's firewall.
