Samsung Electronics has once again solidified its leadership in mobile security with the launch of Samsung Knox Native Solution. The platform, which provides government-grade protection without relying on third-party add-ons, has achieved certification from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security. This milestone highlights Samsung’s continued innovation in secure communications, ensuring that its devices meet the rigorous standards demanded by governments and enterprises worldwide.
Redefining Mobile Security Standards
For years, achieving secure mobile communications on Android devices required cumbersome methods, including external SD cards, multiple software installations, and repeated PIN authentications. Samsung Knox Native Solution addresses these challenges with a pre-configured, government-grade platform developed in collaboration with the BSI.
The solution delivers a dedicated, tamper-resistant security zone integrated directly into Samsung Galaxy devices. By eliminating the need for external software, Knox Native Solution simplifies the deployment of secure mobile communication systems while ensuring:
- Data integrity and encryption for sensitive communications.
- Real-time threat protection through built-in secure layers.
- Seamless user experience with a single PIN activation.
BSI Certification: A Global Benchmark
The BSI certification is a testament to Samsung’s ability to deliver world-class, reliable security solutions. With this recognition, Samsung Knox Native Solution becomes a trusted tool for German government entities, enterprises, and key industries such as public transportation and energy infrastructure. It builds on Samsung’s existing certifications in regions like Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US, further reinforcing its global reputation.
Key Security Features
- Embedded Secure Element (eSE):
Knox Native Solution integrates BSI-certified Java Card Applet within the eSE, achieving Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification — one of the highest security standards in the industry. This embedded feature establishes a secure environment for critical functions like email, calendars, and contacts without additional software. - Streamlined Deployment:
Organizations can deploy Samsung Galaxy devices with government-grade security in minimal steps, reducing costs and complexity. Newly updated apps undergo simplified security reviews, eliminating the need to re-certify entire devices. - Effortless User Experience:
By removing third-party add-ons, Knox Native Solution ensures that advanced security measures integrate seamlessly with enterprise workflows. With Knox Suite, administrators gain centralized control over device fleets, making secure management efficient and cost-effective.
Commitment to Hyper-Connected Security
Samsung’s innovation aligns with the growing need for robust security in a hyperconnected world. Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany, emphasized:
“We are honored to receive this certification from the BSI as proof of our commitment to meeting rigorous security standards. In an increasingly hyperconnected world, we remain dedicated to empowering all users with secure, privacy-driven experiences that prioritize transparency and user choice.”
Expanding Availability and Future Plans
Currently, Knox Native Solution supports devices like the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Tab S8+ (Germany only), and Galaxy XCover6 Pro. Samsung plans to expand the use of eSE technology and Knox Native features to additional models globally, further cementing its role as a leader in mobile security.
Conclusion
The Samsung Knox Native Solution marks a pivotal moment in secure communications, offering enterprises and governments a certified, integrated security platform that eliminates external complexities. By achieving BSI certification and collaborating with global authorities, Samsung sets a new benchmark for trusted, efficient, and seamless mobile security solutions.
