Microsoft and Samsung Team Up to Boost Security for Samsung Galaxy Work Phones

We’ve all had that sinking feeling - realizing you left your work phone behind at a café or somewhere public. It’s not just the device you worry about, but the sensitive business data stored inside that could fall into the wrong hands.

Thankfully, Microsoft and Samsung have partnered to bring enhanced security to Samsung Galaxy devices used in the workplace. This month, they’re launching a cutting-edge solution designed to protect your work phone — wherever you are.

What is “On-Device Attestation” and How Does It Protect You?

At the heart of this innovation is on-device attestation, a technology that acts like a security guard for your phone. It allows companies to verify whether a mobile device’s hardware and software have been tampered with - right down to its core components.

Samsung brings its industry-leading hardware and software expertise, while Microsoft contributes its endpoint management technology to create a powerful security combo.

Unlike other attestation tools, this one does not require a network connection or cloud access to function, making it dependable no matter where your device is used.

Integration with Microsoft Intune

This new security feature will launch alongside Microsoft Intune (Microsoft's security solution), a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution that helps businesses manage and protect both corporate and personal devices.

It will be available on select Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, particularly models that are “Secured by Knox” which is Samsung’s advanced security platform.
