This solution is a combination of Samsung’s advanced Android platform and Cisco AnyConnect 4.0, the leading enterprise VPN solution, to provide secure and seamless connectivity over the robust KNOX mobile platform.
The demand for secure mobility continues with increasing mobile adoption and a highly dynamic threat landscape. The Samsung KNOX solution is designed to provide innovative device, application and data protection, offering organisations the benefits of mobility without the risk of compromising security. AnyConnect for Samsung KNOX offers customers the ability to achieve tighter security control while enabling flexible per-application access to corporate resources via mobile VPN services.

“Enterprises are demanding solutions that securely empower mobile users to work from anywhere to achieve greater speed, efficiency and agility.
