Samsung Knox

Developed in 2013, Samsung Knox is security software that is included with Samsung smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches running the Android, One UI (user interface), and Tizen operating systems. When enabled, Knox scans the device for viruses, and prevents the phone from being externally controlled when powered on or off.

Information about the Knox version on your device is found in the Settings app, in the About phone section, then the Software information sub-section.
