		<Abstract>‎A vertex subset $S \subseteq V(G)$ is defined as a secure dominating set if‎, ‎for any vertex u outside of S‎, ‎there is a neighbor $v \in S$ such that the set $(S \setminus \{v\}) \cup \{u\}$ remains a dominating set for the graph $G$‎. ‎The minimum cardinality of such a set is termed the secure domination number and is denoted by $\gamma_s(G)$‎. ‎In the present study‎, ‎we establish specific bounds for the secure domination number of Kneser graphs K(n‎, ‎k)‎. ‎We further prove that for the condition $n \ge k^2‎ + ‎2k$‎, ‎the value of $\gamma_s(K(n‎, ‎k))$ is precisely k‎ + ‎2‎.</Abstract>
