Microsoft and Samsung team up to boost work phone security

You’ve checked your pockets, your bag, under pillows … and then it hits you. You left your work phone on the table at the coffee shop.

You panic.

It's not the device itself that’s got you worried, but all the sensitive business information stored on it. If that mobile ends up in the wrong hands, you’re facing a nightmare.

But that worry could be over. Microsoft and Samsung are joining forces to make your work mobiles safer. This month, they’re launching a groundbreaking solution to help protect anyone who uses a Samsung Galaxy device in the workplace.

How?

With something called on-device attestation. It lets companies see if mobile devices have been compromised, even at their deepest components. Think of it as a security guard for your cell phone.

Samsung brings its software and hardware innovations to the table, whilst Microsoft provides its endpoint management expertise.

It will be available to select Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets, especially those "Secured by Knox". So, whether you're working from the office, a busy coffee shop, or a remote cabin in the woods, you can rest assured your device is safe.
