“Thanks to the rapid adoption of KNOX over the past 5 months since its first commercial availability, we needed to evolve the Samsung KNOX platform to meet the changing needs of our customers and the enterprise as a whole,” says JK Shin, President and CEO at Samsung Electronics. “As a leading provider of Android devices, it is our mission to make Android platform even more secure to lead enterprise mobility market.”

Promising cutting-edge core platform security, Samsung says KNOX 2.0 offers a series of improvements to better protect device integrity from kernel to apps for a more secure, integrated mobile experience.
