Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has officially announced that Samsung Knox Native Solution has received certification from the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)—Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security. This recognition highlights Samsung’s capability to deliver government-grade mobile security without third-party add-ons, making it a seamless and trusted solution for global governments and enterprises.

A Collaboration to Overcome Traditional Challenges

Previously, achieving secure communications on Android devices required cumbersome processes such as using external SD cards, additional software, and multiple PINs. These measures not only increased costs but also added complexity and prolonged approval cycles for security certifications.

Samsung, in collaboration with the BSI, tackled these challenges by developing a pre-configured, government-grade solution that adheres to Germany’s rigorous security standards. This partnership resulted in a platform capable of delivering:

• Dedicated Security Zone: Leveraging the embedded Secure Element (eSE) with the BSI Java Card Applet, certified at Common Criteria EAL 6+, a globally recognized security standard.
• Tamper-Resistant Environment: Built-in protections for critical applications such as email, calendar, and contacts without third-party dependencies.
• Real-Time Threat Protection: Ensuring data integrity and encrypted storage for sensitive communications.

By integrating these advanced security features natively into Samsung Galaxy devices, Knox Native Solution eliminates the need for external applications while providing a seamless, highly secure environment for government and enterprise users.

Simplifying Secure Mobile Deployment

The Knox Native Solution redefines mobile security deployment with a streamlined setup process:

• Single PIN Activation: A single, simplified activation process for a range of secure work scenarios.
• Effortless Integration: Company-owned apps integrate smoothly using the Knox Native Solution SDK.
• Centralized Control: Efficient management of large device fleets via Samsung Knox Suite, providing enterprises and governments with complete oversight of their security needs.

By reducing the time and costs associated with traditional security evaluation processes, Samsung enables organizations to deploy high-security mobile solutions with minimal friction. Only newly updated applications need to be reviewed, significantly simplifying approval procedures.

Global Certifications and Industry Applications

Samsung Knox Native Solution’s BSI certification marks a major milestone, solidifying its acceptance as a global benchmark for government and enterprise-grade security. The solution is already certified by leading government authorities in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, reflecting its worldwide reliability and compliance.

Industries such as energy infrastructure, public transportation, and government communications can now benefit from a ready-to-deploy, robust security solution that meets the highest standards of data protection and operational efficiency.

Commitment to Secure, Hyperconnected Ecosystems

As organizations face increasing security challenges in an interconnected world, Samsung Knox Native Solution offers fortified, privacy-driven protection. The BSI certification reinforces Samsung’s commitment to delivering secure, reliable solutions that enable governments and enterprises to thrive.

“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 to a growing list of governments and enterprises worldwide,” said Tuncay Sandikci, Director of MX B2B at Samsung Electronics Germany. “In an increasingly hyperconnected world, we remain dedicated to empowering all users with secure, privacy-driven experiences that put transparency and user choice at the forefront.”

Samsung plans to expand Knox Native Solution’s availability to other regions, further cementing its role as a global leader in cybersecurity solutions.

Future-Proof Security on Samsung Galaxy Devices

Currently, devices such as the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Tab S8+ (German market), and Galaxy XCover6 Pro include the embedded Secure Element (eSE), with plans to extend Knox Matrix security features to additional models.
