Kenya: Samsung and Loop partner to boost device security using Knox platform

Kenyan businesses can now access Samsung’s Knoxplatform, a unified system for end-point device security and management, essentially providing a single dashboard to protect and manage every company device. 

Knox guards against cyber threats and streamlines IT operations through a new strategic partnership between Samsung Electronics East Africa and financial technology firm Loop. 

This collaboration enables companies to secure, deploy, and manage their entire ecosystem of corporate devices, from laptops and tablets to rugged field devices and employee smartphones. 

For a logistics company managing delivery drivers with rugged devices, or a growing retail chain deploying tablets at its points of sale, this partnership makes first-class security and management immediately accessible. 

It directly addresses the significant upfront cost of enterprise technology by allowing firms to acquire the platform through flexible financing, including extended payment terms and seasonal payment schedules tailored to their operational needs, allowing them to treat technology adoption as a predictable operational expense. 

What sets Samsung Knox apart is that its security is built on the Knox Platform’shardware-level security foundation in Galaxy devices, offering a level of protection against malware and sophisticated threats that software-only solutions cannot match. 

It provides comprehensive unified endpoint management capabilities, offering advanced device management, security analytics, and remote troubleshooting. 

While deeply integrated and optimized for Samsung Galaxy products, the platform also supports other operating systems, all of which are managed from a single, powerful console. 

“Modern businesses run on a fleet of diverse devices, and securing every single one is a necessity, especially when it comes to matters of cybersecurity. The challenge has always been the high initial investment,” said B2B manager in charge of mobile eXperience division at Samsung Electronics East Africa, Anthony Njihia. 

“This partnership with Loop removes that barrier. We are now offering our built-in security software with a financial model that matches the operational realities of Kenyan businesses,” added Njihia. 

“This is about enabling every company to protect their data and enhance productivity from day one. Our goal at Loop is to empower business growth through innovative and accessible financial solutions,” stated retail and trade ecosystem manager at Loop, Alex Kibera.

“By financing a world-class solution like Samsung Knox, we are providing companies with the tools to innovate and compete securely. This partnership allows businesses to access Samsung Knox’s complete portfolio, including Knox Platform for Enterprise, Knox Mobile Enrollment, Knox Manage, and Knox Asset Intelligence,” added Kibera.

The financing solutions are available immediately and are bundled with comprehensive support to assist businesses from deployment through ongoing management.
