Samsung Knox Native Solution Sets New Standard for Secure Mobile Communications

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has taken a monumental step in advancing secure communications with its Samsung Knox Native Solution, a platform delivering government-grade protection without relying on third-party add-ons. Recognized globally for its fortified security features, the Knox Native Solution recently received certification from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), the German Federal Office for Information Security. This milestone underscores Samsung’s role as a trusted leader in cybersecurity for governments and enterprises worldwide.

Developed in collaboration with the BSI, the Knox Native Solution aligns with Germany’s stringent security standards, providing a streamlined and robust environment for secure mobile communications. This certification complements approvals from other international security bodies in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, making Samsung’s secure solutions globally recognized and trusted.


Security Challenges Addressed: A Seamless, Integrated Solution

Achieving government-grade security on mobile devices has historically been cumbersome. Organizations often relied on external SD cards, additional software, and multi-layered PIN processes, driving up costs and complicating updates. Re-certification requirements for third-party software further compounded the challenges, delaying the deployment of secure solutions.

To overcome these hurdles, Samsung collaborated closely with the BSI to develop a pre-configured, government-grade solution embedded directly into Samsung Galaxy devices. The Knox Native Solution introduces key features:

  • Embedded Secure Element (eSE): The BSI-certified eSE, with Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+, creates a dedicated security zone within the device. This ensures tamper-resistant storage, data integrity, and real-time threat protection.
  • Streamlined Integration: By eliminating the need for third-party add-ons, Knox Native Solution ensures built-in security for critical functions such as email, calendar, and contacts.
  • Efficient Certification: Only newly updated apps require review and approval, significantly reducing approval cycles and operational costs.

Samsung Knox’s built-in protections for data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit guarantee a seamless, secure user experience while adhering to the highest security standards.


Simplifying Security for Governments and Enterprises

The Knox Native Solution reimagines mobile security, enabling governments and enterprises to deploy secure devices efficiently. By eliminating complex manual configurations, Samsung has simplified secure communication processes for organizations, empowering administrators and end-users alike. Key benefits include:

  1. Fast Deployment: Organizations can activate security protocols with a single PIN covering multiple work scenarios.
  2. Seamless Device Management: Through Knox Suite, administrators can manage even large device fleets centrally, ensuring high security standards are met cost-effectively.
  3. Effortless User Experience: Security seamlessly integrates into Samsung Galaxy devices, preserving performance without compromising protection.

This makes the Knox Native Solution particularly valuable for sectors like energy infrastructure, public transportation, and government authorities, where secure and reliable communication is critical.


Global Leadership in Cybersecurity

Receiving BSI certification is a testament to Samsung’s commitment to meeting the strictest security standards. Samsung’s Knox Native Solution is now positioned as a globally relevant model for secure mobile solutions, paving the way for expanded adoption across regions.

Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany, stated:

“We are honored to receive this certification from the BSI as proof of our commitment to meeting rigorous security standards and providing fortified mobile security solutions to a growing list of governments and enterprises worldwide. In an increasingly hyperconnected world, we remain dedicated to empowering all users with secure, privacy-driven experiences that put transparency and user choice at the forefront.”

Building on its success, Samsung plans to further expand the availability of Knox Native Solution to additional markets, reinforcing its role as a leader in secure, hyperconnected mobile ecosystems.


The Future of Secure Mobile Communication

Samsung Knox Native Solution marks a paradigm shift in mobile security. By offering pre-configured, government-certified protections built directly into Samsung Galaxy devices, it sets a new industry standard for secure communications.

Devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab S8+ (German only), and Galaxy XCover6 Pro already include the embedded Secure Element, ensuring advanced protections for enterprise and government users. Samsung plans to expand the integration of eSE to additional Galaxy models, supporting Knox Matrix features for enhanced security.
