Samsung KNOX Leading the Next Enterprise Evolution

Samsung KNOX, the award winning, defense-grade security platform, is expanding in order to offer a suite of purpose-built, innovative and intuitive business tools designed for the way people want to work.

The new Samsung KNOX is taking the platform beyond mobile to serve as the foundation for all Samsung enterprise solutions and services.

“As we move closer each day to a world where all things are connected, strength of security has never been more important,” said Paulo Ferreira, Director of Enterprise Mobility at Samsung Electronics SA.

“As a renowned mobile security platform with notable government certifications, Samsung KNOX is placed at the foundation of all solutions and services, delivering the infrastructure needed to advance Samsung’s contribution to the enterprise.”

Secure Compatibility with More Devices

An important step in the expansion of Samsung KNOX is its security coverage for Samsung devices, from flagship to mid-tier handsets, including select smartphones and tablets.

Additionally, Samsung KNOX is available on wearable electronics such as the Samsung Gear S2.

This enables many more Samsung device owners to benefit from Samsung KNOX’s defense-grade protection.

Platform Expansion to Drive Interoperability

Samsung KNOX is designed with multi-platform interoperability to work with existing IT assets.

This commitment to interoperability will now be extended beyond the Android operating system to also include Samsung’s Tizen operating system.

Samsung KNOX also works seamlessly between Internet of Things (IoT) solutions with a collection of open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs).

In addition, KNOX is supported by over 120 enterprise mobility management (EMM) providers worldwide and performs with all popular single sign-on (SSO) and virtual private network (VPN) solutions to preserve enterprise legacy IT investments.

Beyond Security, Beyond Mobile

Since its launch in 2013, Samsung KNOX has become a robust and trusted mobile security platform, protecting the device at every layer, from hardware through software to application.

With this next evolution, all Samsung enterprise solutions and services including healthcare, automotive, finance and other segments will be built on the Samsung KNOX platform.

“Samsung KNOX allows us to offer our customers a better way to manage security and increase productivity,” said Robert Schukai, Head of Applied Innovation, Thomson Reuters.

“By partnering with Samsung, we can take advantage of a networked world, empowering people to see connections, use insights and make decisions when it counts. Samsung KNOX is pushing forward our connected future.”
