Samsung has introduced a new Auto Blocker security tool for Samsung Galaxy users. The company claims that the tool is designed to keep the Samsung Galaxy devices protected.
What is Auto Blocker
The Samsung Auto Blocker is an opt-in package of additional security measures that gives users more choice as they explore the customizations enabled by Samsung Galaxy’s open ecosystem.
Features of Auto Blocker
One of Auto Blocker’s features is the prevention of app installations from unauthorized sources, known as sideloading. There are many benefits to intentional sideloading, such as enhanced customization and control over a device’s functionality. Those who love to safely sideload will experience no change as the feature is off by default. For those not in the habit of sideloading or extensive customization, activating Auto Blocker can provide additional peace of mind by stalling the rise of social engineering attacks like voice phishing, where attackers could talk users into installing malicious software.
The Auto Blocker offers various supplementary features, such as enabling app security checks to identify possible malware and thwart the execution of malicious commands and software installations via a USB cable. This functionality serves as a safeguard for users in scenarios where their device is physically accessible to others, such as when charging a phone at an airport.
This feature update also includes enhancements to Message Guard, addressing Zero Click attacks where malicious code is concealed within direct image messages. Auto Blocker is available now on Samsung Galaxy devices compatible with One UI 6.
