- Samsung wants to expand Knox beyond its traditional corporate mission
- Three tiers are now available with a basic plan available on all Samsung Galaxy devices at no additional cost
- The Base, Essentials, and Enterprise plans are designed to meet different levels of security and management needs.
Samsung has announced a new update for Knox Suite, its enterprise security and management solution for Galaxy business smartphones.
The updates introduce a tiered plan system, designed to meet the needs of businesses of different sizes across multiple industries, from small businesses with a cybersecurity checklist to large enterprises.
The change marks a departure from the previous single-package model, aiming to broaden Knox Suite’s appeal beyond the enterprise.
New Knox plans
The revised Knox suite now includes three distinct plans: Base, Essentials, and Enterprise, each designed to meet different levels of security and management needs.
The Basic plan is available at no additional cost and offers essential features such as Knox Mobile Enrollment and Knox Platform for Enterprise; simplifying device configuration and providing fundamental security.
For businesses looking for more robust management capabilities, the Essentials plan provides unified device management and real-time troubleshooting through Knox Manage and Knox Remote Support.
The Enterprise plan, designed for organizations with a large fleet of devices, adds features like OS version control, intelligent insights, and advanced security tools like Knox E-FOTA and Asset Intelligence.
According to Samsung, businesses can tailor their use of Knox Suite based on their operational needs. For example, a significant benefit of Knox Suite is its compatibility with existing Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) systems, allowing businesses already using EMM platforms to integrate Knox Suite without disrupting their current workflows.
Samsung also partners with leading EMM vendors to improve accessibility and integration for businesses with diverse IT configurations.
“Businesses of varying sizes and industries have varying device management needs, but ultimately aim for the same end goal: creating secure and productive mobile workspaces,” said Jerry Park, vice president executive and head of Samsung’s B2B team and mobile eXperience business.
“With these new scalable solutions, Knox Suite is now optimized for all types of operational use cases, enabling businesses to comprehensively and intelligently manage their business ecosystems.
