Samsung KNOXHigh Security Standard for Your Mobile Devices
The KNOX mobile security solution is integrated into Samsung mobile devices to protect confidential data and processes. Using the KNOX platform, IT administrators can easily and reliably secure, deploy and manage corporate-owned mobile devices. This ensures that all business requirements are met throughout the device lifecycle, and that confidential data is protected against malware or phishing attacks at all times. Corporate information can only be accessed by an authorized person―which means even if a device is lost, all data remains protected.
