Samsung Electronics is doubling down on digital safety. The tech giant just confirmed that its 2024–2025 TVs, monitors, and commercial displays have passed cybersecurity evaluations under the EU’s updated Radio Equipment Directive (RED) — well ahead of the August 2025 deadline.
The RED, originally introduced in 2016, was recently updated to include stricter cybersecurity standards aimed at protecting personal data, guarding against network threats, and minimizing fraud risks.
“We are strengthening security features to stay ahead of this evolving trend,” said Taeyong Son, Executive VP of Samsung’s Visual Display Business. “Our goal is to build trust by combining innovation with strong security.”
Samsung’s entire 2024–2025 visual display lineup — including TVs, digital signage, monitors, and Color E-Paper — now meets these new EU standards. The company is also rolling out the same compliance measures across global markets.This move is part of a larger push for stronger product security across Samsung’s ecosystem.
For instance, Samsung’s CryptoCore module recently earned top-tier FIPS 140-3 certification from the U.S. government, and has already been built into Tizen OS, the software that powers Samsung Smart TVs.
Even better? Samsung Smart TVs come with Samsung Knox, the company’s trusted security platform that’s earned Common Criteria certification every year since 2015.
In a world where data safety is becoming just as important as screen size or resolution, Samsung’s move is a welcome reassurance for consumers looking for both performance and protection.
