However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Data Corporation<\/a> (IDC)<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a> found that an overwhelming 70 percent of successful breaches originate from endpoints \u2014 the devices that connect to networks like phones, laptops and tablets. Unfortunately, in today\u2019s security operations landscape, IT administrators have much less visibility into mobile devices compared to PCs and servers. With mobile devices now being the most common method of employee network access, this has to change. A systematic, comprehensive approach is critical to ensuring seamless mobile capabilities and uncompromising protection. At Samsung, we\u2019re setting a new standard for mobile enterprise security by committing to a collaborative Zero Trust strategy for endpoints in partnership with market leaders.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Core Principles for Zero Trust Endpoint Security<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s legacy of innovation is built upon our deep understanding of users. We\u2019re constantly listening to feedback from consumers and businesses, anticipating the evolution of mobile technology. This is what enables us to pioneer industry-first solutions for consumers and businesses alike. As the Head of the Global Mobile B2B Team, I\u2019m especially proud of how we\u2019ve led the way in critical areas that deliver value to enterprises across the board. From advancing hardware-backed device attestation and threat detection to fully embracing the security principles of Zero Trust, we are constantly striving to provide our customers with mobile devices and solutions that exceed their security requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Zero Trust is a security framework that replaces implicit trust with explicit trust by continuously assessing security posture, risk and trust levels based on context. The current security solutions market is dominated by network-centric Zero Trust solutions that focus on securing access at the <em>network edge<\/em>. Unfortunately, this approach by itself neglects a critical blind spot: the <em>endpoint<\/em>. Endpoints have the largest attack surface and are the most challenging IT assets to protect against cyberattacks. In most cases, they are the most vulnerable points in an organization\u2019s IT ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"embedded recommended recommended-post\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"embedded-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-badge\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Recommended News<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"recommended-card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsung-welcomes-galaxy-a17-5g-galaxy-tab-a11-galaxy-ecosystem\/\" class=\"recommended-news\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/29164441\/A17_5G_Black_Tab-A11-Plus_Lockup_RGB-268x178.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Welcomes Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tab A11+ to the Galaxy Ecosystem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-category\">Mobile<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Samsung Welcomes Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tab A11+ to the Galaxy Ecosystem<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"article-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"article-body\">\n<p>Zero Trust principles for endpoints, when realized correctly, ensure that access requests from endpoints are handled based on context that correlates with the device\u2019s security posture and the user\u2019s needs, and are continuously verified in real time. Although there is no definitive list of core principles behind Zero Trust endpoint protection, the following principles are the most commonly adopted:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cNever trust, always verify\u201d approach for devices:<\/strong> Devices should no longer be implicitly trusted just because they are within the network boundary. Instead, each device needs to prove its trustworthiness before being granted access.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuous risk assessment and enforcement:<\/strong> Endpoint protection must be agile and ready to adapt to constantly changing risk conditions. This means continuously evaluating context \u2014 such as location, time of access and the device\u2019s security posture \u2014 and dynamically adjusting security policies accordingly. Suspicious activity needs to be addressed through enforcement actions such as access restrictions or complete isolation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restricted privileges and narrowly scoped access:<\/strong> Endpoints must enforce access control in real time based on context while ensuring privileges are granted dynamically with a narrow scope.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incorporation of user identity, device posture and behavioral signals:<\/strong> A Zero Trust-compliant solution needs to make granular and informed trust decisions to enforce tight access controls. To enable such decisions, Zero Trust\u2019s continuous evaluation of context integrates user identity, device posture and behavioral signals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the Zero Trust security strategy is growing in adoption, Samsung is fully embracing it. By doing so, we are helping to protect the most vulnerable points in an organization\u2019s IT landscape. Risks related to endpoint security are constantly increasing as cloud-based applications, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs and remote work prevail in the modern workplace environment. Samsung recognizes the critical nature of this problem and is proactively addressing it in collaboration with partners.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Innovation and Collaboration for Security at Every Level<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>How does this work in practice? From the hardware level and all the way to the operating system and secure interface, Zero Trust security principles are built into the architecture of Samsung Galaxy devices, enhancing protection at every layer while intuitively integrating with a business\u2019s existing security infrastructure. Together, these practices empower enterprises to administer proper threat detection and response securely and reliably.<\/p>\n<p>At Samsung, we recognize that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsungmobilepress.com\/feature-stories\/editorial-there-is-no-privacy-without-stronger-security-thats-why-were-joining-forces-with-the-security-community-to-keep-you-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security is a collective effort<\/a>. It is only through open collaboration with partners that we can bring the most advanced solutions to our customers. In my time at Samsung, we\u2019ve made extensive strides in bringing forth versatile, optimized and secure solutions<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a> for enterprises of all kinds.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, we integrated Samsung Knox \u2014 our defense-grade, multilayer security management platform \u2014 with Cisco Secure Access, an innovative Security Service Edge solution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsungknox.com\/en\/blog\/samsung-cisco-collaboration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This collaboration<\/a> delivers a secure and flexible employee access experience, enabling organizations to verify user identity, device posture and context before granting access.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedded product-module\">\n\t\t<a id=\"product-module-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/smartphones\/galaxy-z-flip7\/\" title=\"Galaxy Z Flip7\" class=\"snr-article_product-image\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/25102758\/Flip7_Newsroom-Module_LAUNCH.png\" alt=\"Galaxy Z Flip7\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>We also have a strong partnership with Microsoft, defined by a shared vision of reimagining mobile device security for business customers. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samsungmobilepress.com\/press-releases\/samsung-and-microsoft-unveil-first-on-device-attestation-solution-for-enterprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first step<\/a> of this strategic plan began in 2023, when we integrated Samsung Knox with Microsoft Intune, creating the industry\u2019s first on-device mobile hardware-backed device attestation solution that works equally well on both company and personal devices.
