KLMS is a security platform added to the more extensive security system in Samsung phones, KNOX, that gives an extra layer of security against dubious external information, usually through application files that come into a user's phone. It aims to protect the user's data privacy and safety by adding mechanisms to secure the data and putting as little information outside the security blanket as possible.
The specific role of KLMS Agent is to block or stop any unverified or unauthorized information that asks for access to the user's data, such as photos, personal and financial information, app usage, etc. The reason is that they can give away anything about the user and how they use their mobile device. At the same time, it grants you protection for your data and file system and productivity without worrying about any of your privacy being on the loose.
It might seem sketchy that the KLMS Agent app is suddenly on your phone without you allowing its installation, but you have to understand that it was the manufacturing company that put it to your phone. It is not a matter of them having access to your privacy, because that is illegal. Rather, it was about the fact that it’s mostly like a software update you let happen during the night.
You can disable it, but it might not be the best way to go, considering how the agent app actually does a lot for your privacy, since hackers and mobile threats do not sleep and wait like lions waiting on their prey. It handles security and blocks any adware and Trojans (information that gets in your phone then attacks your personal files once they are inside).
Another aspect to the agent app is that it has a theft protection feature, side from the network and data protection systems. What makes this feature different is that it provides a safety net for when the worst case takes place and you lose your device and the data in it. The whole KNOX system will keep your files secured until a certain encryption unlocked by a pattern or pin given to you is used. It will seriously not allow anyone or anything to open it, even with a hard Bluetooth transfer, the system will shut down any attempts a hacker will make.
Lastly, and as a complement to the theft protection feature, is the Find My Device feature, which help you find your phone that you might have put somewhere else and forgot or someone stole from you. As the name suggests, you just have to register your phone to the KNOX system and the premium will work, where you get to use another device to find it.
