BlackBerry adds new features to SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox
BlackBerry has announced that it’s adding a couple of new features to SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox. The company launched its SecuSUITE enterprise service for Samsung handsets three years ago with the Galaxy S6. It’s developed by BlackBerry’s subsidiary Secusmart and provides an additional layer of security to those who use Samsung’s Knox security suite.
BlackBerry continues to make improvements to SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox to provide secure mobile voice and data communication on smartphones and tablets. Users will now get two new services, SecuVOICE and the BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platform.
SecuSUITE For Samsung Knox
The German Federal Administration has been using SecuVOICE to secure its telephone calls for years. This technology is now integrated into SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox. It enables calls to be made in accordance with the SNS standard that has been developed by the German Federal Office for Information Security.
The BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management platform is part of SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox. It provides a complete unified endpoint management and policy control system for enterprise devices.
SecuSUITE for Samsung Knox is now supported on a growing portfolio of Samsung devices which includes the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and the Galaxy Note 8. The Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab S3 tablets are supported as well.

“The company launched its SecuSUITE enterprise service for Samsung handsets three years ago.”
The first paragraph makes it clear from the word go that this is an enterprise service. This wasn’t an article about onboarding a device on an enterprise network and therefore does not require the information that you’re referring to.
Does this require any kind of installation, or will the new features be available through a software upgrade?
I am using a Blackberry phone and would love the security features of this phone. We hope that Samsung will apply the security technology of Blackberry to the Samsung mobile phones for me to choose Samsung.
