Let’s cut to the chase: The average data breach now costs $4.88 million1—and even with a Zero Trust strategy in place, your risk increases if mobile isn’t part of it. Every mobile device connected to your corporate network is a potential breach point. And with work happening everywhere, traditional perimeter security can’t keep up. It’s time to go beyond Mobile Device Management for Enterprise security and extend your Zero Trust strategy to mobile.
Zero Trust must include mobile devices
Zero Trust is becoming the standard for enterprise security—and for good reason. The U.S. government is pushing agencies to adopt it. Enterprises are following suit. And the philosophy is simple:
- Never trust, always verify.
- Assume breach.
- Give least privilege access.
Every access request is checked in real time based on current risk signals. It’s like checking someone’s passport and scanning them for threats, not just assuming someone’s safe because they were last week.
That works well for laptops and desktops… but what about mobile?
Security Operations Center (SOC) platforms—such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR)—are evolving to incorporate Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA), particularly with AI-assisted security features.
However, a significant gap remains in the availability of high-quality data from mobile devices. This lack of data hinders accurate analysis of security posture and limits the ability to take necessary actions. This is where Samsung comes in.
Zero Trust-ready Samsung Galaxy devices give you deeper insight
As the maker of Samsung Galaxy devices and the cloud-based Knox Suite, Samsung offers a uniquely integrated approach to mobile security—capturing deep device telemetry to power SOC platforms and support a true ZTA.
Samsung Galaxy devices are secured from the chip up, with Samsung Knox built in at the manufacturing stage. This hardware-based foundation extends visibility and control across your security infrastructure, making these devices a trusted part of any Zero Trust strategy.
What’s Knox Suite? It’s Samsung’s all-in-one solution for managing and securing Samsung Galaxy work devices. It also provides the controls and insights needed to support a Zero Trust approach—reducing risk and unlocking cost savings.
Even better, thanks to their exclusive partnerships, you can prevent, detect, and remediate threats faster, reducing potential risk:
- With Microsoft Intune, Samsung Galaxy devices, managed or unmanaged, verify their integrity before connecting to corporate resources.
- With Cisco Secure Access, enterprises can get high-speed Zero Trust Network Access natively from Samsung Galaxy devices.
- With Knox Asset Intelligence (a product of Knox Suite), real-time mobile signals flow into SIEM tools like Microsoft Sentinel, so your security team sees mobile threats just like any other alert.
With Samsung Galaxy and Knox Suite, mobile devices are no longer a security gap; they’re part of your ZTA.
Why this matters now
CIOs and IT leaders are under pressure to prevent data loss, not just react to it. That means extending Zero Trust to mobile.
Samsung surveyed in 2024 and found that IT decision-makers and the workforce named data protection as their top concern when considering mobile security.
Samsung is the first OEM to deliver Zero Trust capabilities directly on mobile, with full device-level visibility, seamless integrations, and cloud-ready control.
If Zero Trust is your goal, mobile must be part of the strategy, and Samsung makes that possible. Ready to learn more about Samsung Knox security? Learn more here!
