This represents a broad collaboration between Green Hills Mobile, Samsung, mobile network carriers, systems integrators and the Department of Defense.

Whether devices are enterprise or personally owned, Samsung KNOX Hypervisor enables users to have complete confidence in the privacy of their photos, contacts, e-mail and other information while enterprise and government IT administrators manage the device’s business use with complete assurance in the security of enterprise information both within the device and across the enterprise network.

This ATO opens up new markets for Samsung and Green Hills, delivering ultra secure mobile solutions on the most popular Android platforms.”

“This industry first for Samsung and Green Hills is further evidence that the Samsung KNOX portfolio provides the scalable security solutions that address requirements ranging from personal consumer privacy to the highest levels of government and regulated industry certifications,” commented Injong Rhee, Senior Vice President of KNOX Business, IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics.
