As businesses and enterprises continue to integrate mobile technologies to simplify operations and increase efficiency, security is more important today than ever before. That's why Samsung came up with a comprehensive security solution - the KNOX platform.
The adoption of a mobile lifestyle has increased the use of public Wi-Fi networks, which has also increased the opportunity for unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive data such as emails, contacts, photos, informace about accounts and more. A 2016 Pew Research Center study found that 54 percent of American Internet users connect via public Wi-Fi networks, primarily to use email and access social networks. A common misconception among mobile phone users is that public Wi-Fi networks are safe, especially in trusted places such as popular coffee shops, hotels or airports. Although convenient, connecting to public networks can leave mobile devices vulnerable to security breaches, exposing personal and business informace risk.
That's why Samsung's Knox security platform creates a digital fortress around the mobile device to protect the sensitive informace from unauthorized visitors and malicious software attacks, so you can enjoy Wi-Fi connection continuously even in your favorite places. The advantage is that it is not only intended for mobile devices - since last year it has been part of all business solutions and services of Samsung.
The security of the Samsung Knox platform is twofold. It starts in the device's chipset itself and permeates all its layers, including the operating system and application layers. The Knox platform ensures that Samsung devices have overlapping defense and security mechanisms to protect against unauthorized intrusions, malware, viruses and other dangerous threats.
However, Samsung Knox enables a modern mobile lifestyle by enabling the separation of professional information from private information in one device, using the so-called Secure Folder. Secure Folder uses Knox technology to provide a secure space separate from other applications, messages and information, creating a sufficient layer of security. This is ideal for managing company devices that employees often use for private purposes.
Samsung Knox at work and in business
Samsung Knox works just as well for business. Whether in banking, retail, education and healthcare, taxi services, IT, aviation or automotive – all companies take advantage of Samsung Knox to provide better solutions and services to customers while maintaining integrity and keeping data intact.
Since the system is based on virtualization, it allows you to create two devices in one - one private and the other corporate. In addition, with the help of the API, it allows the setting of user profiles and through the interface Mobile Device Management (MDM) management of multiple devices at once. The Samsung Knox platform provides multi-layered protection that isolates and encrypts corporate data through on-device encryption and constantly monitors device integrity. At the same time, Knox goes beyond the protection of important company information. WITH Knox Configure companies can completely customize and tailor equipment that fully suits the environment for which it is intended. It provides IT managers with configuration, app deployment, and UI/UX personalization capabilities, as well as bulk remote enrollment and service provisioning services, putting them in full control of managing their mobile solution end-to-end.
If the company has a large number of devices under management, it can use the product Knox Mobile Enrollment, which, based on the creation of a profile on the Mobile Enrollment server, will enable the device to be activated without IT intervention, which saves IT time and costs. With the bulk delivery of several hundred pieces to his organization, the manager can thus save months of time and additional costs for IT specialists. It is not unusual for a company to order 100 phones or tablets at once.
