Four Samsung Devices are Now Approved by U.S. National Security Agency, Boosting Samsung's Appeal Further

Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3, and Note 10.1 of 2014 are now under the program of NSA and Central Security Service. Just recently, the US National Security Agency approved these mobile devices. This means that government officials can now carry these, with important classified information. This surely boosts the company's appeal in the competitive market today.

What it means to be approved in such a way is that the devices have met the agency's security standards, as The Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program only lists such devices.

Other than the Galaxy devices listed above, the Boeing Black smartphone is also under the said program. The Boeing Black was particularly designed for Boeing's security and defense applications. The Blackberry is also usually an option for the government market, as it is trusted in data security, but now the Samsung's Knox platform is going to provide an alternative for the markets such as government and enterprise.

Samsung mentioned earlier this year that the company has been seeking security certifications from governments all over the world, using the devices under the Knox platform. The Knox is also Android-based, and its primary aim is to enhance security of the open-source Android today. Knox-based devices allow users to switch between a personal data space and Knox-protected Workspace.

Samsung said just recently that the company is the only one with devices listed in both the CSfC and DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency).
