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

Losing your work phone or leaving it unattended in a public place can be a nightmare for any business professional. Beyond the inconvenience of losing a device, the biggest concern is the sensitive company data stored on it falling into the wrong hands.

To tackle this critical security challenge, Microsoft and Samsung have joined forces to launch a powerful new solution designed to safeguard Samsung Galaxy smartphones used for work, no matter where your team is located.

What is On-Device Attestation and Why Is It a Game-Changer?

At the core of this partnership is on-device attestation, a groundbreaking security technology that acts like a digital security guard for your mobile device. This feature allows businesses to verify the integrity of a device’s hardware and software, ensuring it hasn’t been tampered with or compromised — right down to the foundational components.

Samsung contributes its renowned hardware security expertise through its Samsung Knox platform, while Microsoft adds robust endpoint management capabilities through Microsoft Intune. Together, they deliver a solution that helps businesses:

• Confirm a device’s authenticity before granting access to sensitive resources
• Prevent compromised or jailbroken devices from connecting to corporate networks
• Protect business data even when devices are offline, as attestation doesn’t rely on network or cloud connectivity

Seamless Integration with Microsoft Intune for Unified Endpoint Management

This advanced security feature is integrated directly into Microsoft Intune, Microsoft’s leading unified endpoint management (UEM) platform. Intune enables businesses to manage and secure both corporate and personal devices from a central dashboard, simplifying device administration and compliance enforcement.

The new on-device attestation feature will roll out on select Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, particularly those “Secured by Knox,” Samsung’s industry-leading security framework.
