Samsung is therefore offering a solution - security platform Knox - that is an upgrade to operating system. Samsung Knox's security is two-fold. The platform begins in the device chipset itself and extends through every single layer of a Samsung device, including the operating system and application layers. The platform ensures Samsung devices have overlapping defense and security mechanisms that protect against intrusion, malware, viruses and many more malicious threats. The benefit is that it not only protects smartphones but it is also part of all Samsung's business solutions and services.
