Mind to share what antivirus does you all use? Or mostly doesn't use one? 😅

If your Samsung device has the logo "Secured by Knox" (all latest Samsung devices do) plus regular scans using the built-in Google Play Protect and Device Care - you don't need additional third party virus protection. Normal caveats apply : don't download things from non-established sites or suspicious links.

A note on what "Secured by Knox" means according to Samsung :

"Many Samsung phones, tablets, and wearables are designed with Knox platform built into their architecture. This military grade mobile security platform safeguards more than 1 billion Samsung consumer and business devices.
Offering multi-layered security, it defends your most sensitive information from malware and malicious threats".

None, use the built in device under settings > device care > security.

if your company uses some kind of EDR, just use that. or use the anrivirus that your company provide. i am not againts installing antivirus in smartphones, but i believe EDR is better than antivirus in Samsung devices as Samsung devices has already protected by KNOX as stated by MissingLink.

EDR = endpoint detection and responses
