How Samsung Knox protects mobile devices from the chip up

Corporate data, healthcare data, government data: It’s no longer locked away in secure offices and server rooms. It is now accessible via mobile devices that go wherever an employee goes.

In the face of today’s sophisticated mobile security threats, the best way to protect data is to use devices that have hardware-backed security that’s built in from the chip up.

That’s why Samsung created Knox. Built into Samsung mobile devices, Knox is a defense-grade security platform that protects your device from the moment you power up. And because Samsung controls the entire supply chain from design to manufacturing, Knox is the platform you can trust with your business and personal data.

With multiple layers of protection, the Knox platform defends your device against intrusion,
malware and malicious threats. It starts with the Hardware Root of Trust, the cornerstone of any modern security protocol. This is the basis for a series of stringent checks and balances that ensure the integrity of the device.

Next up is Samsung’s patented Real-time Kernel Protection or RKP, which performs secure monitoring in an isolated execution environment.

Data on the device is safeguarded by Samsung’s Sensitive Data Protection, a mechanism to mark data as sensitive, which means it can’t be decrypted even if the device is in the locked state.

Finally, Samsung builds on the app container included in Android Enterprise by improving the separation of personal and work data on the device.
