    Samsung has announced that it had teamed up with Cisco to bring “AnyConnect for Samsung KNOX”, which is an update to Cisco's enterprise VPN app AnyConnect. The AnyConnect 4.0 app now incorporates Samsung's KNOX security technology on compatible devices. The app is available for download from Google Play Store, however it appears that the app had been updated with new features two weeks ago. Samsung has been strengthening its KNOX security technology for quite some time now. Google has already integrated the technology behind KNOX directly into Android 5.0 Lollipop's source code.

    Dr. Injong Rhee, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Business, IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics said, “We are very excited to raise the standard of secure mobility to a higher level for our customers by integrating our innovative Android platform, Samsung KNOX, with the leading enterprise VPN solution, AnyConnect. Mobile users will enjoy secure and seamless access to their applications and data without compromise.”

    Mobility-minded enterprises can now equip themselves with the latest in mobile security, AnyConnect for Samsung KNOX. Samsung’s advanced Android platform unites with Cisco AnyConnect 4.0, the leading enterprise VPN solution, to provide secure and seamless connectivity over the robust KNOX mobile platform.

    The demand for secure mobility continues with increasing mobile adoption and a highly dynamic threat landscape. Enterprises want the benefits of mobility without compromising security. Samsung KNOX is an advanced mobile platform designed to provide innovative device, application, and data protection. AnyConnect for Samsung KNOX provides customers the ability to achieve tighter security control while enabling flexible per-application access to corporate resources via mobile VPN services. This minimizes the potential of non-approved applications from compromising enterprise networks and data.
