Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced a major milestone with its Knox Native Solution, a platform that delivers government-grade secure communications for enterprises and authorities without requiring 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—solidifying Samsung’s position as a global leader in mobile security solutions.
The certification not only highlights Samsung’s dedication to cybersecurity excellence but also establishes Knox Native Solution as a model for secure, integrated mobile communications across sectors like energy infrastructure, public transportation, and other industries demanding the highest levels of security.
Streamlining Security Through Innovation
Historically, achieving secure communication on Android-based devices required cumbersome steps: external SD cards, third-party software, multiple PINs, and time-consuming re-certification processes. Samsung tackled these challenges through close collaboration with the BSI, which is recognized globally for setting stringent security policies and certifications.
The result is a pre-configured, government-grade solution that aligns with Germany’s rigorous security standards while eliminating the need for third-party security solutions.
Advanced Features: Embedded Secure Element (eSE)
At the heart of Knox Native Solution is the embedded Secure Element (eSE), which integrates the BSI Java Card Applet and is certified at Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+—a globally recognized benchmark for security. This dedicated security zone within the device ensures:
- Data integrity
- Real-time threat protection
- Encrypted storage for sensitive communications
Unlike traditional solutions, Knox Native operates natively within Samsung Galaxy devices, offering a tamper-resistant environment for core functions like email, calendars, and contacts—all without the need for external software.
Seamless Security Meets User Experience
Knox Native Solution simplifies deployment for governments and enterprises by integrating directly into Samsung Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S24, Galaxy Tab S8+, and Galaxy XCover6 Pro. Key benefits include:
- One-PIN Activation: A single PIN secures diverse work scenarios without complexity.
- Built-in Protections: Safeguards data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit seamlessly.
- Centralized Management: Large device fleets can be managed efficiently via Knox Suite.
- Cost-Effective Security: Only newly updated apps require evaluation, reducing expenses and approval delays.
By preserving a streamlined user experience while ensuring uncompromising security, Knox Native Solution empowers organizations to integrate advanced security effortlessly.
Global Expansion and Future-Ready Security
The BSI certification underscores Samsung’s ability to meet top-tier government security standards, paving the way for broader adoption. Building on this success in Germany, Samsung plans to expand Knox Native Solution to other regions, reinforcing its commitment to a hyper-connected and secure digital world.
Samsung also envisions expanding embedded Secure Element (eSE) technology to additional Galaxy models, ensuring ongoing development of Knox Matrix features and creating a robust security ecosystem for the future.
A Trusted Partner for Governments and Enterprises
Samsung remains a trusted provider of secure mobile solutions, with certifications from governments in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Knox Native Solution’s streamlined, government-grade security provides a reliable platform for organizations seeking:
- Simplified deployment processes
- Robust data protection
- Optimized mobile communication systems
“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,” said Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany. “In an increasingly hyper-connected world, we remain dedicated to empowering all users with secure, privacy-driven experiences that prioritize transparency and user choice.”
Conclusion
