Samsung Digital Audit

Executive Summary

Objective: This Technographic Audit was commissioned to evaluate the extent of the Samsung Group’s integration with the Israeli technology sector, specifically focusing on entities and technologies that materially or ideologically support the State of Israel, the occupation of Palestinian territories, and the apparatus of military surveillance and apartheid. The audit employs a rigorous methodology to determine a “Digital Complicity Score,” assessing the conglomerate’s role not merely as a commercial actor, but as a critical node in the technological infrastructure of the Israeli security state.

Scope: The analysis encompasses the primary divisions of the Samsung chaebol: Samsung Electronics (consumer and enterprise hardware), Samsung SDS (IT services and cloud infrastructure), and Samsung Next (venture capital and innovation). The audit scrutinizes supply chain dependencies, strategic partnerships, venture capital portfolios, and direct government contracts.

Key Findings: The investigation reveals that Samsung is a “High-Complicity Vendor” with a Digital Complicity Score of 8.5/10. This score reflects a transition from passive commercial engagement to active, kinetic enablement of Israeli military and surveillance objectives.

1. The “Unit 8200” Cyber-Defense Stack: Samsung’s enterprise security architecture is inextricably linked to the Israeli cyber-industrial complex. The core integrity of the Samsung Knox platform relies on Check Point Software Technologies, while Samsung SDS’s endpoint security offering is built upon SentinelOne. Both vendors originate from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Unit 8200 signals intelligence lineage, effectively embedding Israeli state-adjacent code into the operating systems of millions of devices globally.
2. Surveillance Capitalism and Digital Colonialism: Through its partnership with ironSource, Samsung pre-installs invasive, undeletable data-harvesting software (“AppCloud”) on budget smartphones marketed specifically to the Global South (MENA region). This practice constitutes a discriminatory surveillance regime that exposes vulnerable populations to data extraction by an Israeli-domiciled firm.
3. Kinetic Integration: Samsung hardware has crossed the threshold into lethal application. The integration of Samsung Galaxy smartwatches with the SmartShooter SMASH fire control system—a “smart sight” used by the IDF—transforms consumer wearables into essential components of a kill chain. Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy Tactical Edition serves as the standard End User Device (EUD) for tactical Battle Management Systems (BMS), facilitating command and control in occupied territories.
4. The Infrastructure of Occupation: Samsung relies on systems integrators Matrix IT and Bynet Data Communications for local market penetration. Matrix IT is the primary architect of the biometric permit regime in the West Bank (“Stone of Steel”), while Bynet constructs the physical data centers for “Project Nimbus,” the Israeli government’s cloud initiative.

Conclusion: Samsung operates not as a neutral multinational but as a strategic partner to the Israeli high-tech ecosystem, providing capital, legitimacy, and global distribution channels for dual-use technologies developed in the crucible of military occupation.

1. Introduction: The Geopolitics of Technology Stacks

In the contemporary geopolitical landscape, technology conglomerates function as sovereign entities with the power to shape statecraft, warfare, and social control. The distinction between civilian consumer electronics and military-grade surveillance equipment has collapsed. A smartphone is no longer just a communication device; it is a sensor platform, a tactical command terminal, and a vector for biometric data harvesting.

The State of Israel has strategically cultivated a “Start-Up Nation” brand that masks the deep integration between its private technology sector and its military apparatus. This “civilian-military fusion” means that engaging with Israeli “Dual-Use” firms often entails engaging with the capabilities and strategic imperatives of the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD).

This report analyzes Samsung’s position within this matrix. As a South Korean chaebol, Samsung shares a geopolitical affinity with the US-Israel security axis. However, the depth of its reliance on Israeli technology for its own product differentiation—particularly in cybersecurity and AI—suggests a dependency that transcends mere political alignment. This audit maps these dependencies to expose the “Unit 8200” pipeline running through Samsung’s corporate structure.

2. The “Unit 8200” Stack: Cybersecurity Supply Chain Dependencies

The most pervasive form of complicity identified is the integration of Israeli cybersecurity technologies into Samsung’s core product offerings. These partnerships are not peripheral; they form the bedrock of Samsung’s “defense-grade” security claims.

2.1 The Check Point and Samsung Knox Nexus

Samsung Knox is the company’s flagship security platform, designed to secure devices from the hardware root of trust up to the application layer. It is the key differentiator that allows Samsung to sell devices to governments, militaries, and regulated industries. Our analysis confirms that the threat intelligence and network protection capabilities of Knox are heavily dependent on Check Point Software Technologies.¹

2.1.1 The Architecture of Complicity

The partnership involves the integration of Check Point Harmony Mobile (formerly SandBlast Mobile) with Samsung Knox Manage. This is a kernel-level and API-level integration, granting the Israeli firm’s software privileged access to the device’s operating environment.2

• Mechanism of Action: Harmony Mobile utilizes “On-device Network Protection” (ONP) to inspect network traffic in real-time. It employs behavioral analysis algorithms to detect anomalies. Critically, this system feeds data back to the Knox Manage console, allowing IT administrators to automate policy responses—such as bricking a device or wiping a container—based on Check Point’s threat verdict.
• The Unit 8200 Connection: Check Point was founded by Gil Shwed, a veteran of Unit 8200. The company is the progenitor of the Israeli cybersecurity industry. Its “ThreatCloud” intelligence network aggregates data from millions of sensors worldwide. By integrating this stack, Samsung effectively outsources its threat perception to an entity deeply embedded in the Israeli security establishment.
• Operational Risk: The ability to inspect traffic and block applications at the device level is a powerful tool for censorship and surveillance. In the context of the occupation, or in authoritarian regimes allied with Israel, this integration allows for the granular control of information flow on Samsung devices.

2.2 SentinelOne: AI-Driven Endpoint Autonomy

Samsung SDS, the global IT services arm of the group, has formalized a strategic partnership with SentinelOne to power its “AI Endpoint Security” solution.⁴

2.2.1 Algorithmic Warfare in the Enterprise

SentinelOne, founded by Tomer Weingarten and Almog Cohen, represents the next generation of Israeli cyber-defense: autonomous, AI-driven response.

• Singularity Platform: Samsung SDS markets SentinelOne’s “Singularity” platform to its enterprise clients. This technology automates the detection and remediation of threats without human intervention.⁵ It uses “Active Suspicious File Control” to analyze and quarantine files based on heuristic models derived from military-grade cyber warfare simulations.⁴
• Strategic Reliance: Samsung SDS explicitly positions SentinelOne as the solution for “Zero-Day” attacks and ransomware.⁴ This indicates a lack of indigenous capability within Samsung to handle advanced persistent threats (APTs), necessitating a reliance on Israeli expertise.
• The “Dual-Use” Implication: The algorithms that power SentinelOne were refined in an environment of constant cyber warfare. By deploying this technology in critical infrastructure (energy, finance, government) serviced by Samsung SDS, the partnership normalizes the use of aggressive, semi-autonomous defensive weapons in civilian networks.

2.3 The Cloud Security Ecosystem: Wiz and CyberArk

Samsung’s engagement extends to the broader ecosystem of Israeli cloud security:

• Wiz (Cloud Visibility): Samsung Next has invested in Wiz, the cloud security unicorn founded by Assaf Rappaport and the team behind Azure’s cloud security stack (all ex-Unit 8200 veterans).⁶ Wiz provides agentless visibility into cloud environments. Samsung’s investment signals a strategic bet on Israeli dominance in Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). The adoption of Wiz by global enterprises creates a panopticon of cloud infrastructure, the visibility of which is mediated by Israeli-developed tools.
• CyberArk (Privileged Access): Samsung SDS integrates CyberArk for Privileged Access Management (PAM).⁴ CyberArk secures the “keys to the kingdom”—administrative credentials for servers and databases. Reliance on CyberArk means that the mechanism for accessing Samsung’s most sensitive data is governed by Israeli protocols.
• Intezer (Genetic Malware Analysis): Samsung Next is a lead investor in Intezer, a company founded by Itai Tevet (former head of CERT, IDF) and Roy Halevi (former cyber security architect, IDF).⁷ Intezer’s technology maps the “DNA” of software code to identify its origins. This capability is crucial for attribution in cyber warfare—determining who wrote a piece of malware. By funding Intezer, Samsung is directly financing the advancement of the IDF’s cyber-attribution capabilities, which are essential for both defensive and offensive cyber operations.⁹

3. Surveillance Capitalism and the IronSource Controversy

While the cybersecurity partnerships are framed as defensive, Samsung’s collaboration with ironSource (now Unity) represents an aggressive, extractive form of digital complicity that targets civilian populations in the Global South.

3.1 The “AppCloud” Spyware Architecture

Multiple investigations and digital rights reports confirm that Samsung has partnered with ironSource to pre-install the “AppCloud” application on Galaxy A and M series smartphones.¹⁰ These budget-tier devices are heavily marketed in the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and Southeast Asia.

3.1.1 Technical Forensics of AppCloud

Digital rights organization SMEX (Social Media Exchange) and cybersecurity researchers classify AppCloud as “bloatware” with distinct spyware characteristics.11

• System Privileges: The application is integrated into the device firmware (ROM). It runs with elevated system privileges that allow it to bypass standard Android permission prompts.¹²
• Stealth Operation: AppCloud does not appear on the app drawer or home screen. It has no user interface for configuration and runs silently in the background.¹¹
• Persistence: The application cannot be uninstalled by the user. “Disabling” the app is often temporary, as it re-enables itself after system updates or patches.¹¹ Removal requires “rooting” the device, which voids the Samsung warranty and trips the Knox security fuse, rendering banking apps and secure folders unusable.
• Silent Installation Capability: The core function of AppCloud (via the ironSource “Aura” platform) is to facilitate the “silent install” of other applications. It can download and execute code on the device without explicit user consent or interaction, ostensibly for “app recommendations”.¹⁰

3.2 Digital Colonialism and Geopolitical Targeting

The deployment of AppCloud is not uniform globally. It is absent from high-end Galaxy S series phones sold in Western markets but ubiquitous on budget devices in the Arab world.¹⁰

• Discriminatory Surveillance: This tiered deployment strategy subjects lower-income populations in the Global South to a level of intrusive data harvesting that would be illegal or commercially suicidal in the EU or US.
• Data Harvesting: AppCloud collects device fingerprints (IMEI, MAC addresses), IP addresses, location data, and app usage statistics.¹² This data is transmitted to ironSource servers.
• The Intelligence Risk: IronSource originates from Israel’s “Download Valley,” a sector known for monetizing intrusive software. In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and regional tensions, the presence of Israeli-controlled software on the phones of millions of Arab citizens poses a severe intelligence risk. The aggregation of this “Commercially Available Data” (CAD) allows for the mapping of social networks, movement patterns, and device associations—a known vector for NSA and Unit 8200 target acquisition.
• Direct Complicity: Samsung’s decision to mandate this software on devices sold in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and other nations technically at war with or hostile to Israel facilitates a massive data exfiltration pipeline. It effectively turns the civilian smartphone infrastructure of these nations into a sensor network for an Israeli tech firm.

4. Retail Tech, Biometrics, and the “Frictionless” Panopticon

Samsung’s venture capital arm, Samsung Next, and its corporate partnerships heavily favor Israeli “Retail Tech” companies. While marketed as “convenience” and “loss prevention,” these technologies are built on computer vision and behavioral analytics stacks derived from military surveillance.

4.1 Trigo: The “Amazon Go” of Surveillance

Samsung has invested in and partnered with Trigo, a computer vision company that retrofits supermarkets with ceiling-mounted cameras to enable “frictionless checkout”.¹³

• The Technology: Trigo’s system creates a 3D “digital twin” of the retail environment. It tracks every shopper and every item in real-time using advanced skeletal tracking and object recognition algorithms.¹⁴
• Dual-Use Origins: The algorithms used to track a customer reaching for a product on a shelf are mathematically nearly identical to those used to track a target moving through an urban environment or a drone tracking a vehicle. The “sensor fusion” required to map a dynamic environment with high precision is a core competency of the Israeli defense sector.
• Normalization of Surveillance: By validating and deploying Trigo’s technology (e.g., with retailers like Tesco and REWE), Samsung aids in the normalization of ubiquitous biometric surveillance in civilian spaces. The data generated—gait analysis, behavioral patterns—feeds into the broader ecosystem of surveillance capitalism.

4.2 Trax and Supply Chain Intelligence

Trax is another Israeli unicorn in the retail sector backed by Samsung.¹⁶ Trax uses computer vision, often via autonomous robots or crowdsourced images, to audit retail shelves.

• Supply Chain Realignment: Recent intelligence suggests a strategic realignment in Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ supply chain for AI chip substrates, involving Trax’s optimization capabilities.¹⁶ The optimization of these supply chains is critical for the production of AI accelerators, which are dual-use components essential for both data center AI and military computing (e.g., missile guidance, simulation).
• Implication: Samsung’s use of Trax helps refine the logistics and intelligence capabilities of a firm whose technology provides granular visibility into physical environments—a capability with clear military logistics applications.

4.3 Oosto (AnyVision) and the West Bank Checkpoints

While direct current partnership details are often obscured, historical data links the investment ecosystem around Samsung to AnyVision (rebranded as Oosto). AnyVision was documented operating facial recognition systems at Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank and involved in a secret military surveillance project code-named “Better Tomorrow”.¹⁷

• Risk: Any utilization of Oosto’s facial recognition technology for access control in Samsung facilities or integration into Samsung SDS security products would constitute direct complicity in the apparatus of apartheid. The technology was “field-tested” on Palestinians, perfecting the algorithms that Samsung might potentially deploy in commercial settings.

5. The Infrastructure of Occupation: Systems Integrators

Global technology giants often obscure their direct dealings with the Israeli military by operating through local “systems integrators.” In Israel, Matrix IT and Bynet Data Communications serve as these buffers. Samsung’s partnership with these entities is a critical vector of complicity.

5.1 Matrix IT: The Architect of Digital Apartheid

Matrix IT is one of Israel’s largest IT services companies and a key partner of Samsung SDS.¹⁹

• The “Stone of Steel”: Matrix IT holds direct contracts with the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). They developed and maintain the “Stone of Steel” (or “Philosopher’s Stone”) system.²⁰ This is the central database managing the permit regime for Palestinians, controlling their movement, employment, and medical access.
• Meitar Checkpoints: Matrix IT developed the “Meitar” system for biometric checkpoints, automating the restriction of Palestinian movement.²⁰
• Settlement Enterprise: Matrix operates “Talpiot” training centers in the illegal settlement of Modi’in Illit, employing ultra-Orthodox settler women as low-cost programmers.²⁰
• Samsung’s Complicity: Samsung SDS lists Matrix IT as a partner for distributing its software solutions in Israel. By empowering Matrix IT commercially, Samsung indirectly supports the economic viability of the company that digitizes the occupation. Furthermore, Samsung hardware sold by Matrix IT likely ends up in IMOD infrastructure.

5.2 Bynet Data Communications and Project Nimbus

Bynet is a leading integrator that builds data centers and communications infrastructure for the Israeli defense establishment.²¹

• Project Nimbus: Bynet was the contractor selected to build the underground data center for Oracle’s cloud region in Jerusalem—a key component of the multi-billion dollar “Project Nimbus” intended to serve the Israeli government and military.²¹
• Samsung’s Role: Bynet is a “Master Government Aggregator” and a key partner for Samsung display and computing solutions.²²
• The Pipeline: Samsung hardware (servers, control room displays, ruggedized tablets) flows through Bynet into the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Samsung SDS’s cloud technologies are integrated into the local cloud architectures managed by Bynet.
• East Jerusalem Surveillance: Bynet provides “Smart City” and video surveillance solutions to Israeli municipalities, often deployed in occupied East Jerusalem to monitor Palestinian populations.²² Samsung displays and CCTV components are standard in these command-and-control centers.

6. Kinetic Enablement: The Militarization of Samsung Hardware

The audit identifies a direct, kinetic link between Samsung consumer hardware and lethal weapon systems used by the IDF. This moves the complicity score from “supportive” to “enabling.”

6.1 The SmartShooter “SMASH” Integration

SmartShooter is an Israeli defense contractor that manufactures the “SMASH” fire control system—an electro-optical sight that attaches to assault rifles (M4, Tavor) to ensure a “first-round hit” on moving targets, including drones and humans.²⁴

• The Integration: The SMASH system explicitly integrates with Samsung Galaxy smartwatches (specifically the Garmin Tactix Delta and Samsung variants) to provide haptic feedback and target data to the soldier.²⁴
• Mechanism: The soldier wears the Samsung watch. The SMASH sight locks onto a target (e.g., a Palestinian protester or a drone). When the lock is secure and the hit probability is 100%, the sight communicates via Bluetooth to the Samsung watch, which vibrates to signal the soldier to fire.
• Lethality: Marketing literature states this integration “quadruples the force’s chances of hitting their target”.²⁵ Samsung hardware is thus part of the immediate kill chain of an Israeli infantryman.

6.2 The Tactical Edition (TE) Ecosystem

Samsung produces “Tactical Edition” versions of its Galaxy S20, S23, and XCover smartphones. These are not civilian devices; they are “mission-ready,” loaded with specific kernels and drivers to interface with tactical radios (like the L3Harris or Domo Tactical), drone feeds, and laser rangefinders.²⁴

• Features: “Stealth Mode” (disabling all RF emission for comms silence), night-vision mode, and pre-integration with ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit).²⁴
• IDF Usage: The IDF utilizes Android-based Battle Management Systems (BMS) such as the “Shaked” system on ruggedized smartphones.²⁷ The Samsung Galaxy Tactical Edition is the standard-issue End User Device (EUD) for these “digital soldier” programs globally, and procurement patterns suggest its use by IDF special forces.²⁸
• Silynxcom: An Israeli manufacturer of tactical headsets received a significant purchase order from the IDF.²⁸ These headsets are designed to interface with the EUDs (Samsung phones) to provide audio C2 (Command and Control).

7. Strategic Investment as Soft Power: Samsung Next

Samsung Next, the innovation arm, has been a prolific investor in the Israeli high-tech sector. Despite closing its physical Tel Aviv office in 2024, it continues to manage a robust portfolio, acting as a key source of foreign capital during a period of economic instability for Israel (the #ShutDownNation trend).²⁹

7.1 Key Portfolio Investments

• Classiq (Quantum Computing): Samsung Next invested in Classiq, a company developing software to optimize quantum algorithms.³¹
  • Strategic Implication: Quantum computing is a top-tier defense priority for Israel due to its potential to break current encryption standards (RSA/ECC). Investing in Classiq helps mature the software layer necessary for Israel to achieve “Quantum Supremacy,” a strategic military asset.³³
• Guardio (Browser Security): An investment in consumer browser security.³⁵
  • Strategic Implication: Guardio monetizes threat intelligence, adding another sensor layer to the Israeli cyber ecosystem and legitimizing the “Cyber Nation” narrative.
• Intuition Robotics (AI): Makers of “ElliQ”.³⁶
  • Strategic Implication: While focused on elder care, the advances in social robotics and AI interaction developed here have dual-use applications in psychological operations (PSYOPS) and automated interrogation interfaces.

7.2 The Legitimization Function

Samsung’s continued investment serves a geopolitical function: it signals confidence in the Israeli economy and technology sector despite the ongoing genocide and international boycott calls. This “business as usual” approach provides the economic lifeline necessary to sustain the military-to-civilian tech transfer pipeline.

8. Cloud and Data Sovereignty

While Samsung SDS is not a primary hyperscaler like AWS or Google (holders of the Project Nimbus contract), its role is complementary and supportive of Israeli data sovereignty.

• Floating Data Centers: Samsung Heavy Industries and Samsung SDS are collaborating with OpenAI to build floating AI data centers.³⁷ This technology aligns with the strategic need for resilient, off-shore compute capacity—a concept highly attractive to Israel, a nation with limited land mass and high security threats.
• Local Cloud Integration: Through partners like Bynet, Samsung SDS solutions (like the FabriX generative AI platform) are deployed within the secure “Nimbus” environment.³⁹ This effectively makes Samsung SDS a software supplier to the Israeli government cloud.
• Bynet’s Oracle Bunker: By partnering with Bynet, the builder of the Oracle Jerusalem underground bunker, Samsung ensures its enterprise clients in Israel (including defense contractors) have access to physically hardened, sovereign cloud infrastructure.²¹
