Samsung Electronics announced that its vacuum and mop robot cleaner series has been verified at level ‘Diamond’ under UL Solutions’ Marketing Claim Verification IoT Security Rating Program. This is the third time in 2025 that Samsung has earned this verification for one of its home appliances, following the Bespoke AI Refrigerator and Bespoke AI Laundry lineup.
“As the smart home environment expands and concerns around data privacy grow, consumers are looking for more secure products they can trust,” said Jeong Seung Moon, EVP and Head of the R&D Team for Digital Appliances Business, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung remains committed to providing the best possible experience for users by building a powerful security foundation that protects their data across our AI-powered appliances.”
To give users peace of mind, it is critical to determine that the robot vacuum cleaner has strong security capabilities. Particularly for Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra, the premium model in the series, which uses a camera during the cleaning process and offers features such as home monitoring through SmartThings connectivity. Robust security measures are equally important to Samsung’s screen-based appliances, which can monitor other home appliances and store user information in the web browser.
To establish this standard of protection, Samsung has applied Samsung Knox, which provides a multi-layered security system. It ensures encrypted communication and robust defense against external threats. Additionally, Samsung is strengthening security across these new products with IoT security marketing claims verified by UL Solutions this year by applying Knox Matrix Trust Chain and Knox Vault.
Knox Matrix Trust Chain utilises Blockchain technology to monitor connected appliances’ security status in real time. Knox Vault, which is applied to home appliances for the first time in 2025, stores especially sensitive user information, such as passwords and authentication information, in a separate hardware chip to ensure protection. These continued efforts will allow the company to deliver a more secure connected home experience and further extend security certifications across its product portfolio.
The Diamond level rating is the highest in UL Solutions’ programme. Only products that successfull detect and block malicious software, prevent unauthorised access and anonymise user data can earn a Diamond level rating. Products that do reach this level must also detect unknown threats and run real-time vulnerability management systems.
