Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has solidified its role as a global leader in cybersecurity with the Samsung Knox Native Solution, a platform providing government-grade secure communications without relying on third-party add-ons. Recently certified by the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security, Knox Native Solution marks a significant milestone in secure mobile solutions for enterprises and government entities.
This certification reinforces Samsung’s ability to meet the world’s most rigorous security requirements while offering seamless, pre-configured solutions for industries ranging from public infrastructure to energy and transportation.
Government-Grade Security Without Complexity
Traditionally, achieving secure mobile communications on Android devices involved costly external SD cards, additional software, and multi-layered PIN systems. Updates to these third-party solutions required complete device re-certification, complicating the process further.
To address these challenges, Samsung collaborated with the BSI to design Knox Native Solution, a streamlined platform built into Samsung Galaxy devices. By leveraging Germany’s strict security standards, this innovation eliminates the need for cumbersome setups and third-party integrations.
Cutting-Edge Security with Embedded Secure Element (eSE)
Knox Native Solution integrates advanced features like the embedded Secure Element (eSE), certified at Common Criteria EAL 6+, one of the industry’s highest security levels. The eSE forms a dedicated, tamper-resistant security zone within the device, offering:
- Data Integrity: Real-time protection for sensitive data.
- Encrypted Storage: Fortified security for core communication tools like email, calendar, and contacts.
- Real-Time Threat Protection: Mitigation of external threats without third-party apps.
This seamless integration allows users to enjoy secure, government-grade communications without compromising usability.
Seamless Deployment for Enterprises and Governments
Knox Native Solution simplifies deployment and management for organizations, making it easier to meet stringent security standards with minimal effort. Built-in Samsung Knox protections for data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit ensure comprehensive security.
Key benefits include:
- Single PIN Activation: Streamlined access to secure work environments.
- Effortless Integration: Company-owned apps integrate seamlessly through the Knox Native Solution SDK.
- Simplified Security Review: Only updated apps require review, reducing re-certification burdens.
Using Knox Suite, organizations can efficiently manage large device fleets while maintaining centralized control over security protocols.
A Globally Recognized Solution
Samsung Knox Native Solution has already earned certifications from key security authorities worldwide, including those in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The latest certification from Germany’s BSI further cements Samsung’s reputation as a trusted provider of secure mobile solutions for global governments and enterprises.
Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany, expressed pride in the achievement:
“We are honored to receive this certification from the BSI as proof of our commitment to meeting rigorous security standards and providing fortified mobile security solutions to a growing list of governments and enterprises worldwide. In an increasingly hyperconnected world, we remain dedicated to empowering all users with secure, privacy-driven experiences that put transparency and user choice at the forefront.”
The Future of Secure, Hyperconnected Mobile Ecosystems
Samsung’s collaboration with the BSI sets a new benchmark for secure mobile communications. Building on its success in Germany, Samsung plans to expand the availability of Knox Native Solution globally, ensuring governments and enterprises can adopt reliable, future-ready security solutions.
By simplifying the complex security evaluation process and removing the need for third-party tools, Samsung Knox Native Solution enables organizations to focus on efficiency, productivity, and innovation in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
