Android for Work hardened by Knox on Samsung device

People stay connected with their worlds through their mobile devices and the lines between their work and personal lives have blurred.

A winning business with BYOD

It is no surprise that the trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) continues to trend favorably among businesses large and small. A properly executed BYOD strategy can save a company money, increase productivity, and increase employee job satisfaction.

For the individual, a BYOD policy gives you extra flexibility in selecting the devices that best fit your particular needs.

Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP)

The security of the kernel is essential to the security of the whole system. An attack that compromises the kernel has the ability to arbitrarily access system sensitive data, hide malicious activities, escalate the privilege of malicious user processes, change the system behavior or simply take control of the system. As mentioned previously, Trusted Boot measurements can be used to determine what kernel was loaded and run when the device was started. However, this protection does not guarantee the integrity of the kernel after the system runs and starts to interact with potential attackers. Clever attackers can sometimes exploit an already booted and running kernel. In such cases, it is important to continuously monitor the kernel during the system runtime in order to detect and prevent modifications to the kernel code or critical data structures.
