As an example, 2020 Democratic Party presidential party candidate Elizabeth Warren, when outlining in a Medium post a plan to make voting machines secure, stated “Our elections should be as secure as Fort Knox. But instead, they’re less secure than your Amazon account.” Samsung Knox, part of Samsung's SAFE (SAmsung For Enterprise) initiative, is named after Fort Knox, connoting a sense of security.

Because of the gold stored at Fort Knox, the depository has been featured in many popular books, movies, and televion shows. A well known example is the movie Goldfinger, in which the protagonist executes a labyrinthine scheme to irradiate Fort Knox in order to corner the gold market. The movie Behind the Headlines, released the same year as the the first wave of gold shipments to Fort Knox, was about gangsters stealing gold from an armored gold on route to the Fort. . In the 1951 comedy "Comin' Round the Mountain," Abbott and Costello follow a treasure map and unwittingly dig into the vault at Fort Knox, where they are immediately arrested. In the 1952 animated cartoon 14 Carrot Rabbit, Bugs Bunny tricks Yosemite Sam into digging into the vault where he too is immediately arrested.
