Samsung Electronics has announced that its Knox Native Solution has received certification from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security. The platform, tailored to provide government-grade protection, eliminates reliance on third-party software and introduces a seamless, integrated security environment for enterprises and governmental authorities globally.
This recognition marks a significant milestone for Samsung, solidifying its position as a leader in secure mobile solutions. With certifications from key countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, the Knox Native Solution stands as a global benchmark for cybersecurity.
Government-Grade Security: No Add-Ons Required
Traditionally, achieving high-security standards on Android devices required external SD cards, third-party software, and complex manual processes. Such systems came with costly approvals, prolonged certifications, and inefficiencies in updates.
Samsung Knox Native Solution revolutionizes this process by embedding government-grade security features directly into its Galaxy devices. Developed in close collaboration with the BSI, this innovative platform includes:
- Embedded Secure Element (eSE): Certified at the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+, eSE establishes a secure, tamper-resistant zone for sensitive data.
- Integrated Core Functions: Essential tools like email, calendar, and contacts are built into the secure environment without external apps.
- Encrypted Storage & Threat Protection: Ensures real-time protection, data integrity, and streamlined communications for high-security environments.
By removing the dependency on third-party add-ons, Samsung simplifies development and evaluation processes for secure mobile communications. This reduces costs, accelerates deployment, and ensures devices maintain optimal security standards.
Seamless User Experience with Unmatched Security
Knox Native Solution is designed to provide organizations with effortless yet robust security. A single PIN activation secures core functions while delivering a streamlined experience. Samsung Knox integrates protections for:
- Data-at-Rest (stored data),
- Data-in-Use (active applications), and
- Data-in-Transit (communication channels).
Organizations can efficiently manage large device fleets through Samsung Knox Suite, ensuring centralized control with minimal steps for administrators. Newly updated apps undergo streamlined evaluations, reducing complexities and approval cycles while maintaining rigorous security compliance.
Building Trust in a Hyper-Connected World
Samsung’s BSI certification highlights its commitment to delivering hyper-secure mobile solutions that meet the highest governmental and enterprise standards. Samsung plans to expand the Knox Native Solution globally, empowering enterprises in key sectors, including:
