Explore modern cybersecurity for the mobile mission
The government’s mission is as diverse as it is large, ranging from tactical operations to public safety to forestry management and delivery of essential public services. As agencies continue to take steps toward digital transformation, there is increasing demand for mobility solutions that address unique mission requirements. This essential need extends not only to a solution’s capabilities and features, but also to its management and security.
With the RSACTM 2025 Conference quickly approaching, cybersecurity is especially top of mind for many of our government customers planning mobile deployments. To help bring some additional clarity, we’ve just released a new white paper that explores how the government mobile security landscape has evolved alongside advancements in mobile technology. It also provides a high-level overview of how Samsung’s enterprise-ready mobile security capabilities drive trust in government mobility solutions, even in demanding operational environments.
Here are some of the areas it covers:
As mobile devices have become essential in our personal and professional lives, mobile security has advanced to match their role as critical enterprise tools. This shift has driven a more proactive approach to mobile integration, enabling government agencies to extend Zero Trust practices to the mobile environment and mitigate today’s mobile security risks with greater confidence. Modern mobile security is agile, enterprise-ready and integrated into every mobility solution prior to deployment.
From the first hardware-backed mobile key store to kernel-enforced separation of personal apps from work apps, Samsung has led the way in mobile security advancements that matter to enterprise customers. Today, Samsung continues to help agencies meet today’s complex requirements for secure and trusted mobile technology through advanced hardware security protections, enhanced operational visibility and more precise control over device usage.
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, government agencies must trust the hardware and software they rely on to carry out their mission. Delivering such trust requires a holistic approach that prioritizes supply chain integrity and delivers hardened, secure-by-design technology from the ground up.
Samsung Galaxy devices are engineered with security at their core, ensuring protection from concept to deployment and throughout years of operational use. The advanced, hardware-backed security of Samsung Knox protects Samsung Galaxy devices out of the box. Built-in and multilayered, Knox extends security from the chipset level to the operating system and higher application layers. This proactive protection mitigates common attack pathways without relying on user intervention.
Maintaining visibility over mobile devices, including insights into their health and security posture, is foundational to cybersecurity planning. Monitoring assets and eliminating blind spots, especially in highly distributed environments, is a critical priority for IT security teams seeking to align with federal cybersecurity priorities.
With Samsung Knox Suite, agencies maintain granular visibility over their Samsung device fleet’s health and security state. Knox provides clear and actionable asset intelligence that goes beyond traditional mobile device management platforms and enables agency IT to identify and troubleshoot device performance and security issues quickly.
Setting — and enforcing — security policies that automate protections and align with operational cybersecurity directives and regulations helps reduce reliance on end users to always “do the secure thing.”
Samsung Knox Suite and the open Android platform provide unmatched control over the entire Samsung device fleet at all times. Government agencies can precisely tailor their device security to meet their operational needs — from timing and verification of system updates to strict separation of work and personal data to stringent enforcement of app and feature usage policies. The ability to intuitively and centrally define, monitor and enforce granular device usage, health and security policies is a key reason why agencies select Galaxy devices, especially those working with specialized or high-security mission sets.
Samsung Knox has earned more global government security and third-party analyst certifications than any other mobile device, platform or operating system — demonstrating its leadership in securing mission-critical environments.1
Samsung devices were the first commercial smartphones to achieve certification for handling classified information.2 Today, select Samsung Galaxy devices are certified for Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) use and validated against NIAP Common Criteria requirements.
As smartphones, tablets and even wearables become more integral to all aspects of government work, agencies increasingly demand security and management capabilities that can be aligned to their specific operational needs. Samsung delivers on this need with the advanced capabilities of its Galaxy devices and the Samsung Knox Suite. The combination of trusted, hardened devices, granular visibility and more precise control and enforcement of their mobile security policies, enables agencies to feel confident in the security of their device fleet. As digital transformation continues to evolve, tailored mobile security solutions will play a key role in supporting the mission and enhancing public service delivery.
