Microsoft and Samsung Team Up
You’ve checked your pockets, bag, and pillows, and it hits you. You left your work phone on the table at the coffee shop.
You panic.
It’s not the device itself that’s got you worried, but all the sensitive business information stored on it. You face a nightmare if that mobile ends up in the wrong hands.
But that worry could be over. Microsoft and Samsung are joining forces to make your work mobiles safer. This month, they’re launching a groundbreaking solution to help protect anyone who uses a Samsung Galaxy device in the workplace.
How?
With something called on-device attestation. It lets companies see if mobile devices have been compromised. Think of it as a security guard for your cell phone.
Samsung brings its software and hardware innovations to the table, while Microsoft provides its endpoint management expertise.
While other device attestation tools require a network connection and access to cloud services, this solution works reliably regardless of network connectivity or device ownership model.
This solution will be released alongside Microsoft Intune (previously known as Windows Intune), a unified endpoint management service for corporate devices, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). It will be available to select Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, especially those “Secured by nox.”
So, whether you’re working from the office, a busy coffee shop, or a remote cabin in the woods, you can rest assured your device is safe.
In business, your mobile is more than just a communication device. It’s a vault of sensitive (and valuable) information. And that vault got much safer with Microsoft and Samsung on the case.
