The widespread adoption of remote work caused the mobile attack surface to significantly increase, leaving 97% of organizations exposed to mobile attacks from various attack vectors. Mobile security must be a top focus for all enterprises given that 60% of workers are expected to be mobile by 2024.
Given the current state of the mobile threat environment, we are excited to announce that Check Point Software Technologies and Samsung Electronics have joined forces for the first time to offer enterprises strong defense against the rising tide of mobile-related threats.
Samsung and Check Point’s integrated solution helps prevent the most sophisticated mobile related attacks securing businesses while their employees are increasingly using their mobile devices to perform critical business tasks and access sensitive business assets.
With this new partnership Check Point Harmony Mobile is integrated with the Samsung Knox security and device management platform to prevent malicious apps from running, installing, or interfering with other apps, offering organizations the best security.
The new solution leverages Harmony Mobile’s AI technologies and on-device behavior analysis as well as Check Point ThreatCloud’s globally shared threat intelligence creating a new level of security for mobile devices.
The partnership combines advanced integration between Samsung Knox Manage, part of Samsung Knox Suite,[1] and Check Point Harmony Mobile, the industry-leading Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) solution and a joint customer engagement vision. Harmony Mobile updates Knox Manage in real time about the security posture of every device, enabling Knox Manage to allow secure access to corporate assets and applications from employee’s mobile devices and prevent lateral movement of threats and modern attacks such as phishing, mobile ransomware, malicious mobile apps, and malware hiding in email attachments, identity theft and more.
