Samsung Knox Native Solution: BSI-Certified Secure

                                    

Samsung's Knox Native Solution Sets a New Standard in Secure Communications for Businesses and Governments.

By providing government-grade protection without requiring third-party add-ons, Samsung Knox Native Solution broadens the secure options available to authorities and enterprises operating internationally.

Samsung Electronics announced that Samsung Knox Native Solution, a platform that enables quick and easy secure communications for businesses and government agencies, has been certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security, or Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). By creating a specialized, secure environment on mobile devices, the Knox Native Solution which was created in close collaboration with the BSI offers increased security to meet extremely stringent requirements. With certifications from several foreign government organizations, including those in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Samsung continues to hold its position as a global leader in cybersecurity solutions.


The Knox Native Solution's official government use approval from a leading European security organization further solidifies Samsung's reputation for delivering integrated, secure solutions that meet the strict requirements for corporate and government usage. Furthermore, this accreditation confirms Knox Native Solution as a globally applicable model for companies, especially those in critical industries like energy infrastructure or public transportation, or those seeking robust, deployable, and reliable security for optimized mobile communications.

Security Developed in Collaboration with the BSI

Government-grade encrypted mobile communication on Android-based devices used to often require several PINs, external SD cards, and other software. As a result, security solutions had to go through a time-consuming, costly, and manual approval process. If third-party security patches required re-certification of the entire device, the procedure would become much more difficult. To solve these problems, Samsung collaborated with the BSI, which is recognized as the leading authority on security certifications and policy in Europe and significant worldwide domains. Together, they produced a pre-configured, government-grade system that meets Germany's stringent security regulations and sets the standard for secure devices and solutions throughout the world.

One of the innovative features of this innovative platform is the embedded Secure Element (eSE), which integrates the BSI Java Card Applet and is certified at the industry-leading Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+. Knox Native Solution uses eSE to create a specialized security zone inside the device, which enables encrypted storage for sensitive communication channels, real-time threat prevention, and data integrity. This platform's integration inside the device itself removes the need for third-party apps or add-ons, enabling a secure environment that is impenetrable to tampering with key functions like email, contacts, and calendaring.

Secure and smooth mobile experiences

Knox Native Solution's status as the new industry standard for mobile security is further cemented by the fact that Samsung Galaxy smartphones are the first in the Android ecosystem to successfully surpass the strict security criteria of the BSI utilizing eSE. Knox Native Solution enables businesses install safe devices in a few easy steps by eliminating the need for complex setups and ensuring high security standards.

This solution keeps a streamlined user experience without compromising security by utilizing Samsung Knox's built-in protections for data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit. A single PIN activation that covers a range of work circumstances and the smooth integration of company-owned apps through the Knox Native Solution SDK will make enhanced security simple for both users and administrators.

Knox Native Solution reimagines security review processes on Samsung Galaxy smartphones for German government and enterprise, requiring just recently updated apps to be evaluated and authorized. This allows clients to receive mobile solutions that are optimized and cost-effective. Knox Native Solution simplifies development and assessment with pre-approved security features, giving companies centralized control over their security needs. As a result, Knox Suite can efficiently handle even large device fleets with strict security requirements. Samsung, a well-known and dependable provider of secure mobile solutions to German government agencies, is committed to provide dependable and seamless mobile security to businesses worldwide.

Maintaining Belief in a Highly Connected World

This BSI accreditation demonstrates Samsung's ability to meet stringent regulatory criteria and provides a model for how governments and businesses throughout the world may use secure, integrated mobile solutions. In order to expand on its success in Germany and further establish itself as a global leader in secure, networked mobile environments, Samsung plans to make Knox Native Solution more accessible in other regions.
