Samsung makes Knox security service available for all and unveils updated Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 2014 edition
Samsung has made its Knox security service available to all users of its high-end devices, not just enterprise customers, as well as unveiling another new device, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 2014 edition.
The firm explained that users of this new tablet and the 5.7in tablet-phone hybrid, the Note 3, would be able to activate Knox themselves on the device, rather than IT departments having to do it for them.
The firm said the service will also shortly be made available for users of its existing Galaxy S4, S3 and Note 2 devices. V3 contacted Samsung to ask how this would be managed, but had received no reply at the time of publication.
Samsung said activating the service will allow users of the devices to store images, documents, video and other personal data in a secure container within the device, while applications such as corporate email contacts and calendar can also be added.
Samsung’s senior vice president for the Knox Business Group, Injong Rhee, said making the service available for all would help customers keep up with the ongoing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend.
“We are delighted to see Samsung Knox provide advanced data and privacy protection for both enterprises and consumers,” he said.
“The availability of Samsung Knox to consumers will accelerate the adoption of Samsung devices for BYOD as prosumers can now readily experience Samsung Knox with ease at no cost."
Samsung’s Knox service has already been approved by the US Department of Defense for use on its networks, underlining the strong security credentials it has, as Samsung looks to take its huge consumer strength into the enterprise. The UK government may approve its use too.
There had been confusion about exactly how and when the Knox service would be made available, but the announcement about consumer availability of Knox seems to suggest it is finally reaching a stage where it can be accessed by anyone who wishes to use the service.
The firm made the announcement at the IFA trade show in Berlin where it also unveiled the new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. This is powered by a 1.9GHz octa-core processor and has 3GB of RAM.
The firm also promised it would have improved S Pen capabilities, such as better  responsiveness. The device is just one of many unveiled by the firm at the show as it seeks to continue its dominance in the gadget market.
Another star of the show was Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch, beating Apple to the release of a high-end wearable piece of technology, while the Galaxy Note 3 phablet has also grabbed headlines.

  5. When it comes to technology solutions for your business it is easy to get carried away with the latest-and-greatest gadgets and solutions. Everyone wants to have the latest shiny thing. In larger organizations, managing technology can become burdensome due to competing and duplicative technology requests. Left unfettered, the company technology platform can resemble a "spaghetti bowl" over time. Often is the case, new technology requests are submitted without any business case to support their investment. spy camera app

  10. Though power steering is not absolutely necessary we'd rather have it than not. Anyone who drives often will surely agree. If your power steering should fail, it could prove to be a dangerous situation. One of the causes for a failure could be a leak of the power steering fluid. vehicle history check

  11. The VIN check is the only clear way to be sure that the used vehicle you are considering buying has a clean history. Otherwise, you are simply taking the word of the person selling the car to you. If you're buying it from a family member or close friend, you can probably assume they are being honest...but a dealer, neighbor or someone you found in the newspaper, they might not tell you the whole story. car checker

  12. The future of bitcoin and other crypto currencies can be very bright, while it is also possible that it may spoil the lives of those dealing in it. However, it is all about speculations. Some people also consider it as technical. However, no matter how technical it is, ultimately its virtue of being speculative will matter which can be understood easily by gauging proper sources. ftx referral code
