Samsung Electronics has once again redefined mobile security with its Samsung Knox Native Solution, an innovative platform offering government-grade protection without the need for third-party add-ons. The solution recently achieved certification from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)—the German Federal Office for Information Security. This marks a critical milestone, reinforcing Samsung’s role as a trusted global leader in cybersecurity solutions for governments and enterprises.
By collaborating with the BSI, Samsung has streamlined secure communication for mobile devices, ensuring compliance with rigorous European security standards while simplifying deployment and reducing costs. With certifications from countries like Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Knox Native Solution sets a new benchmark for organizations requiring robust and ready-to-deploy mobile security.
A Secure Solution Developed in Collaboration With the BSI
Historically, achieving government-grade mobile security on Android devices demanded external SD cards, complex software setups, and multiple PINs. Updates to third-party solutions also meant re-certifying entire devices—adding significant cost and inefficiency. Samsung Knox Native Solution eliminates these barriers through its pre-configured, built-in platform developed alongside the BSI.
The Knox Native Solution integrates an embedded Secure Element (eSE), certified at Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+, one of the highest industry standards for security. Key features of the eSE include:
- Tamper-Resistant Security Zone: Protects data integrity and sensitive communication channels.
- Built-In Core Functions: Secure email, calendar, and contacts without third-party add-ons.
- Real-Time Threat Protection: Ensures continuous data security.
This cutting-edge approach delivers fortified protection for key sectors, including energy infrastructure, public transportation, and governmental authorities, where data integrity is mission-critical.
Seamless Security Without Compromising User Experience
Knox Native Solution simplifies security implementation for organizations, making secure communications effortless without compromising user experience. The solution offers:
- Fast Deployment: Secure devices can be operational with minimal setup.
- Streamlined Access: A single PIN activation covers multiple work scenarios.
- Integrated SDK: Company-owned applications integrate seamlessly.
With built-in protections for data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit, Samsung Galaxy devices meet the stringent security requirements of the BSI while preserving an intuitive and efficient user experience.
Enhanced Security Management for Large Enterprises
Knox Native Solution revolutionizes security evaluations by requiring only updated apps—not entire devices—to undergo approval. This significantly reduces development time and costs for enterprises managing large device fleets. Combined with Knox Suite, organizations benefit from centralized security management, enabling efficient oversight of advanced security standards across devices.
Samsung’s commitment to innovation ensures that devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab S8+, and Galaxy XCover6 Pro are equipped with embedded Secure Elements, with plans to expand Knox Native Solution to additional models and regions.
Reinforcing Global Trust in a Hyper-Connected World
The BSI certification is a testament to Samsung’s unwavering dedication to delivering robust, secure mobile solutions for governments and enterprises worldwide. By setting a new industry standard, Samsung Knox Native Solution empowers organizations to adopt hyperconnected ecosystems without compromising security or efficiency.
Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany, emphasized Samsung’s mission:
“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 Mobile Communications
As Samsung continues to expand Knox Native Solution globally, its innovative platform demonstrates how advanced security can seamlessly integrate into daily mobile operations for governments, enterprises, and key industries. For organizations looking to secure sensitive communications while reducing complexity, Samsung Knox Native Solution is the gold standard in trusted, built-in mobile security.
