Fortify your business by taking control of security
For the frontline, mobility security will always be a top priority. Officers need access to many applications i.e. police national computer (PNC), computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems (RMS) in order for them to their job thoroughly, and safely.
With the need for access to so much data at their fingertips, it’s absolutely vital that they have robust, reliable security solutions working hard in the background.
As the digital economy continues to evolve, this raises a number of challenges for the frontline from a security and compliancy perspective. We’ve invited Samsung experts John Steadman, Account Director, UK Police and Barry Hall, Mobility Solutions Manager to highlight some of these core challenges, and how Samsung’s Government-Trusted Knox Suite solutions can help IT departments take control of security.
Enhancing your existing MDM platform
Samsung Knox is a business platform for configuring and managing mobile devices – offering efficient and customised use for the frontline. Samsung Knox Enterprise Plan enhances market leading Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms, such as Microsoft Intune, Blackberry, Workspace ONE and SOTI MobiControl, by layering additional solutions to help IT departments enroll, deploy, analyse and manage their devices more effectively.
Helping to keep work devices compliant
Cyber-attacks are on the rise. As of 2024 the average data breach cost in the UK was around $4.53m¹. According to IBM, the average number of days elapsed before a data breach is contained is 287. To put that in perspective, if your business fell victim to a cyberattack on the 1st of January, then it would not be contained until the 14th of October.
To support the prevention of such attacks on businesses, the National Cyber Security Centre has implemented Cyber Essentials. A government backed scheme designed to help protect organisations from the risk of an attack.
Samsung Knox Enterprise Plan helps businesses achieve Cyber Essentials compliance through its broad range of products and solutions. An important area of the certification is ensuring that devices are running the latest security patches and being able to easily see if there are any devices which didn’t receive the patch. With the Samsung E-FOTA solution we provide the functionality to allow the customer to determine how and when the download and installation takes place, as well as allowing the ability to test updates before release, ensuring that no disruption is caused.
Empowering the IT department to take control of security
Samsung Knox Enterprise Plan enables your IT department to take complete control, taking IT burden and responsibility off end users. From enrolling devices via Knox Mobile Enrollment, Samsung devices are set up automatically, whether you’re onboarding one employee or hundreds at a time. This helps employees get up and running as quickly as possible without having to worry about set up.
Our deployment process verifies device integrity, automates security certification installation and enrolls devices only when they are secure. Knox E-FOTA lets you remotely test and control firmware versions and patching to ensure you’re in compliance with regulations.
Knox Remote Support gives your IT team access to all your organisation’s devices, so they can troubleshoot any issues there and then. Knox enables certain device features that might not otherwise be available—such as Bluetooth and biometric security.
With Knox Manage, you can enable apps your employees might need and block the ones they don’t—among other profile and password admin—via an intuitive cloud based platform. It also lets you lock, suspend or wipe devices if they’re lost or stolen. And to help ensure your employees’ privacy every step of the way, they can maintain personal and business profiles separately on a single device.
And no matter how long you’ve had your devices, they should keep performing at their peak. With Knox Asset Intelligence, you’re able to track comprehensive data points relating to all your devices on a collated dashboard. That way, you can proactively identify and address vulnerabilities and inefficiencies, see which devices need the latest patch, and keep an eye on device locations to ensure your team’s personal safety.
Since being introduced in 2013, Samsung Knox has secured over 2 billion Samsung devices and is used to manage over 150 million devices.
Our dedicated team are available to support your organization through set up and procurement process, with pre and post sales. We also offer deep dive training on Samsung Knox Suite, ensuring your IT teams are equipped with the knowledge to ensure successful platform management.
