We believe Samsung Knox solves this conundrum and provides balance between the needs of the business end-user and the enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new campaign comes after the launch of Samsung\u2019s newest flagship devices, the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and the introduction of Samsung Knox 2.8. With a focus on two critical moments of mobile device insecurity\u2014a lost device and using a device over public Wi-Fi\u2014the the campaign aims to heighten user awareness of mobile security threats by showcasing real life scenarios in a humorous tone to highlight the issue of mobile security.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Beyond Security, Beyond Mobile<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Samsung Knox provides multi-platform interoperability by extending Samsung\u2019s security platform across both the Android and Tizen operating systems. This interoperability is further enhanced with two new purpose-built services; Knox Configure and E-FOTA, which expand the capabilities of Samsung\u2019s enterprise services portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Knox Configure is a cloud-based solution designed to let enterprises quickly configure Samsung devices in bulk. \u201cIt gives customers and partners the ability to deploy both applications and content remotely over the air,\u201d said Eric McCarty, Vice President of Mobile Product Marketing at Samsung Electronics.<\/p>\n<p>E-FOTA, a new service in the Samsung enterprise toolkit, empowers customers to reduce security vulnerabilities that come from staying on older unpatched operating systems or failing to maintain OS version control across multiple devices. \u201cE-FOTA provides improved IT stability, manageability and usability with pre-deployment testing and single OS version management,\u201d added McCarty.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Secure and Seamless<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Samsung Knox works seamlessly with all popular single sign-on (SSO) and virtual private network (VPN) solutions and is supported by over 120 enterprise mobility management (EMM) providers worldwide. Knox also supports Internet of Things (IoT) solutions with a collection of open APIs and SDKs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Samsung Knox offers Secure Folder, a security solution which helps mobile users protect their valuable data and information such as private apps and files by storing them in a private, encrypted space on the Samsung Galaxy smartphone. As there is no MDM required to manage Secure Folder, this solution is suitable for personal and business use.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Gartner Security &amp; Risk Summit<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Eric McCarty will deliver a Samsung Knox themed presentation at the upcoming Gartner Security &amp; Risk Summit, June 12<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 15<sup>th<\/sup> at the National Harbour in Washington, D.C.
