If you have a Samsung phone, you’ve probably already got the Knox platform. Samsung manufactures and configures its devices in its own factories, and builds the Knox platform into both hardware and software of flagship devices. This makes Samsung phones, tablets, and wearables the most reliable on the market.

Samsung's Knox Platform is fused into devices at both the hardware and software level, underneath the operating system. Turn on your phone, tablet or wearable, and Knox actively safeguards your personal and business information.
Even when your device is off, all your data is encrypted by default. The encryption key is stored in a secure area called TrustZone in the device chipset.
During boot-up, Knox platform checks for authorized (unrooted) firmware and checks for device software integrity.
At run-time, the kernel is continuously monitored and protected. If compromised, security-sensitive apps are locked.

The Knox platform is currently embedded into most Samsung phones, tablets and wearables, and runs on both Android and Tizen operating systems. Knox platform features are active in your device from the moment you turn it on.
The Knox platform is the backbone of Knox solutions. Knox solutions leverage the platform and allow device users to do so much more.
