Samsung Launches My Knox App For Latest Mobile Device
Samsung earlier this week introduced its newest option for business users with essential mobile device security needs: My KNOX. My KNOX is designed for professionals in enterprises with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) accounts, so that you can synchronize emails, calendar events, and contacts between desktop computers and mobile devices.
Originated from the Samsung KNOX platform, My KNOX provides a free and simple way to secure your mobile device without the IT admin’s help. You can take control over your own device with My KNOX User Portal, to remotely find, wipe and lock your device.
My KNOX creates a virtual Android workspace within the mobile device with its own home screen, launcher, apps, and widgets. The familiar Android experience provides access to secure work email and other important data and apps. To activate My KNOX you need a Samsung Galaxy S5 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and a Microsoft EAS account.
Samsung also detailed its new Knox Premium and Knox Express services for IT admins to deploy cross-platform mobile security companywide.
Knox Premium for large enterprises will cost $1 per user, while Knox Express for small and medium businesses will be free. Cloud support for Knox tools had been priced as high as $3.60 per user.
Knox Premium includes Knox Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), which is cloud based for easy deployment. It works across other device platforms besides Android, but Samsung didn’t say which ones. It also comes with online technical and phone ticket support.
Knox Express will also have Knox EMM, and will have an online portal for IT admins with support for Samsung and other Android and iOS devices, Samsung said.
