Although this is a huge step for Samsung, it does not mean that the DoD (Department of Defence) will start using these Samsung devices right away. It only means that these devices can be used by their employees on unclassified networks and other such agencies. Samsung's KNOX software suite provides security features that enable users to have business and personal content co-exist on the same device. Users can switch to either modes by clicking a single button without a need to reboot the device.
Samsung says that their devices had to qualify for over 100 requirements for getting DoD certification including better encryption and intrusion detection. Samsung is planning to offer a larger line-up of devices to such agencies while cutting down the costs. Last month, UK government gave a similar go ahead to Samsung KNOX devices.
