A Samsung presented together with the Microsoft the first hardware-backed mobile device certification solution. In this sense, the initiative comes as a way to reimagine the security of devices for corporate customers, despite also working on items for individuals.
The fruit of the collaboration between the companies aims to help guarantee the identity and health of the product by verifying whether it has been compromised or not. In this way, the service will be offered embedded in the line components Galaxy and will operate in conjunction with the protection offered by the Intune.
In practice, this certification will act as an additional layer of protection against compromised devices that try to impersonate known and secure devices. Thus, employees will be able to take their own equipment to work and get mechanism protection.
KC Choi is EVP and team leader of Global Mobile B2B, MX Business at Samsung Electronics and commented on the news:
Samsung is committed to meaningful innovation that is both secure, versatile and streamlined. As work habits evolve and people work from virtually anywhere on any device, we are paving the way for the future of corporate device security, and democratizing the means for companies to better protect their information.
With the new certification solution, it is believed that people can improve their productivity, in addition to taking advantage of better experiences. Companies, in turn, will be able to analyze the health of a device and allow it access to the corporate system. Michael Wallent is CVP of Security Management at Microsoft and spoke about the action:
Samsung’s hardware and software solutions are market-leading. Combined with the power of Microsoft Cloud and Intune, they uniquely position us to empower defenders with end-to-end capabilities to thwart sophisticated malicious actors and improve Zero Trust security posture. With this partnership, we are committed to continuous innovation that will ensure the most security-conscious companies have the best mobile device protection possible.
