Improve enterprise security with Zero Trust and Knox Suite

Organizations are adapting to new working patterns, and the threats to enterprise security are becoming more diverse. With more employees working remotely and on personal, unmanaged devices, businesses face unprecedented challenges in protecting organizational assets and ensuring strong operational integrity.

The traditional, perimeter-based security model is no longer enough. Employees are accessing sensitive information from anywhere, from home offices to coffee shops, using a variety of devices that may not be under the direct control of the IT department.

This begs the question: Is Mobile Device Management enough for today’s enterprise security? Unfortunately, not always.

Strengthen your enterprise security with Knox Suite

Businesses today require a more comprehensive, adaptable, and proactive strategy for security—that’s where Samsung Knox and Knox Suite come in.

Samsung Knox is a robust, built-in security platform integrated into Samsung Galaxy devices. Designed to protect devices at both the hardware and software level, it helps ensure a secure foundation for safeguarding sensitive data, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining device integrity.

Knox Suite is a bundled solution built on the Samsung Knox platform, offering advanced tools for security, device management, and IT efficiency. As part of the Knox Suite - Enterprise Plan, it combines multiple powerful solutions to help businesses securely deploy, manage, and monitor their Samsung Galaxy device ecosystem.

Knox Suite offers tools like:

Knox E-FOTA (Enterprise Firmware-Over-The-Air): helps ensure devices stay updated with the right firmware at the right time.
Knox Asset Intelligence: provides actionable insights into device performance and usage—together, these components enhance security, streamline updates, and optimize enterprise device management.

The Knox Asset Intelligence dashboard features an overview of device activity, highlighting key metrics such as total device count, app usage, and devices by app version.

Knox Suite is designed to make mobile security effortless and impregnable.

As soon as a Samsung Knox-secured Galaxy device is powered on, Samsung Knox can help ensure that your business remains protected. It features built-in hardware security, real-time kernel protection, and a comprehensive set of advanced security and fleet management tools.

Together, these elements create a Zero Trust-ready environment that can adapt to the needs of modern enterprises.

Designed for security, starting at the chip level

Samsung Galaxy devices are secure by design. Security measures start at the chip level and continue through manufacturing, device set-up, and daily use.

With full control over proprietary hardware innovations such as Knox Vault, Samsung seeks to ensure that devices are protected from threats like tampering, probing, and side-channel attacks.

Knox Vault is CC EAL 4/5+ certified* and includes a dedicated security chip to protect more sensitive information such as passwords, PINs, and biometric data.

Features such as Secure Boot help ensure Samsung Galaxy devices haven’t been tampered with before startup, and Knox Vault helps ensure critical data stays protected, even in the event of hardware breaches.

Building stronger threat resilience through trusted security partnerships

Samsung continuously evolves its security platform, built on Android’s proven, multi-layered foundations. By integrating with leading security solutions like Microsoft Intune and Cisco’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Knox Suite helps businesses protect access to corporate resources with hardware-backed attestation and least-privilege access models.

In short, Samsung’s Knox-enabled Galaxy devices are Zero Trust-ready right out of the box.

Samsung Knox Suite provides three key pillars of enterprise-grade protection

1. Secure: Safeguard work devices and data

Samsung Knox delivers advanced security capabilities through Knox Suite’s Secure Pillar features, setting a new standard for enterprise device protection.

Knox Attestation confirms device integrity at the hardware level, helping to ensure devices remain uncompromised by detecting tampering or unauthorized modifications.

Complementing this, Knox Security Center provides real-time threat monitoring and detailed insights, enabling IT admins to proactively identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Together, these features show how Knox Suite delivers built-in, enterprise-grade security and management features that surpass the limitations of standard Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions.

Additional security highlights include:

Remote Device Health Attestation: Detect unauthorized modifications without physical access.
Enforced security patches: Automatically push the latest security updates to all devices.
Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP): Continuously monitor threats and prevent breaches across device lifecycles.

2. Manage: Stay in control of your fleet

Knox Suite offers robust tools for managing devices at scale, and simplifies mobile fleet oversight, enabling you to apply IT policies without interrupting productivity.

Knox E-FOTA is a critical component of Knox Suite that provides enterprises with precise update control. With advanced features like customizable update conditions, such as update scheduling based on time, connectivity status, or battery level, IT admins can ensure updates are deployed efficiently with minimal disruption to the end user.

This flexibility enables businesses to maintain device security, stability, and performance, making Knox E-FOTA an essential tool for streamlined and proactive enterprise device management.

Key features include:

Managed OS versioning: Test and deploy OS versions on your timeline.
Event-based policy enforcement: Automatically adjust device behavior, based on context.
App management: Seamlessly distribute, configure, and update business-critical apps.

3. Analyze: Make every decision data-driven

Understanding the usage patterns of your devices is critical to optimizing performance and productivity.

Knox Asset Intelligence (KAI) delivers cloud-based analytics that gives you full visibility into your mobile ecosystem. From device usage patterns to real-time performance metrics, KAI helps you act on insights quickly.

In combination with Microsoft Sentinel integration, KAI can provide enterprises with unprecedented visibility into potential security threats directly from within their security operations centers.

Device usage analysis: Understand app behavior, screen time, and data usage.
Location tracking: View GPS-based location data to manage assets.
Issue analysis: Identify problems before they disrupt business with detailed logs and anomaly detection.

IT admins can receive daily alerts, export reports, and remotely collect diagnostic data, all from a centralized console.
