Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has achieved a major milestone with the Samsung Knox Native Solution, a secure communication platform tailored for government authorities and enterprises. Certified by Germany’s Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Samsung Knox Native Solution delivers government-grade mobile security without relying on external add-ons, marking a new era for secure communications.
This certification underscores Samsung’s leadership in cybersecurity, offering a trusted, integrated security solution that meets the stringent standards of global governments, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands.
BSI-Certified Security: A Collaboration for Simplicity and Robustness
Historically, achieving secure mobile communication on Android devices required external SD cards, third-party software, and complex manual processes. Samsung Knox Native Solution, developed in collaboration with the BSI, eliminates these inefficiencies by embedding government-grade security features directly into Samsung Galaxy devices.
Key features of the Knox Native Solution include:
- Embedded Secure Element (eSE):
Certified at the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (CC EAL) 6+, the eSE integrates BSI-approved Java Card Applet technology. It establishes a dedicated security zone within the device, ensuring:- Real-time threat protection
- Encrypted storage for sensitive communications
- Data integrity across critical functions like email, calendar, and contacts.
- Third-Party-Free Integration:
Knox Native Solution eliminates the need for external applications, reducing costs, complexity, and approval cycles for updates while maintaining a tamper-resistant security environment.
Seamless Mobile Security for Enterprises and Governments
Knox Native Solution streamlines the secure communication process for organizations, delivering exceptional security without compromising user experience. Key highlights include:
- Single-PIN Activation: Simplifies access to secure work scenarios.
- Seamless Integration: Built-in protections for data-at-rest, data-in-use, and data-in-transit ensure security while preserving usability.
- Knox Native Solution SDK: Enables smooth integration of company-owned apps.
By leveraging Knox Suite, enterprises and governments can efficiently manage large device fleets with high-security requirements, centralizing control for secure mobile operations.
Global Recognition and Future Expansion
The BSI certification is a significant achievement for Samsung, establishing Knox Native Solution as a globally relevant model for secure communications. Samsung plans to expand its availability beyond Germany, continuing to support enterprises and governments in sectors like public transportation, energy infrastructure, and critical services.
This success builds on Samsung’s established reputation for delivering secure solutions to organizations worldwide. “We are honored to receive this certification from the BSI as proof of our commitment to meeting rigorous security standards,” said Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany.
Future-Ready Security for a Hyperconnected World
In a digital landscape where cybersecurity is paramount, Samsung Knox Native Solution sets a new industry benchmark. By combining robust, pre-approved security features with seamless user experiences, Samsung empowers governments and enterprises to stay secure in an increasingly hyperconnected world.
Samsung remains committed to expanding its Knox platform to additional regions and devices, enabling transparent, privacy-driven mobile ecosystems that meet the needs of organizations globally.
