Pradeo and Samsung SDS strengthen Partnership for Next-Generation Mobile Security

Pradeo strengthens its strategic partnership with Samsung SDS to provide enterprises with increasingly effective and robust mobile protection by combining Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and Mobile Threat Defense (MTD).

Continuing the Strategic Partnership between Pradeo and Samsung SDS

 Pradeo and Samsung SDS have maintained a strategic partnership since 2015, united by a common goal: ensuring superior mobile protection for their customers. Pradeo was one of the first mobile security partners to integrate with the advanced features of the Samsung Knox platform, pioneering a transformed mobile security experience for Samsung mobile device users.

Moving forward, Samsung SDS has once again chosen Pradeo as its trusted provider of MTD, seamlessly integrated into Samsung SDS's cutting-edge EMM solution.

About Samsung SDS

Samsung SDS is the IT subsidiary of the Samsung Group, a leading player in data and computing technologies for businesses, with solutions designed around cloud and AI. Samsung SDS offers an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution: a console for large-scale administration of devices, applications, configurations, and security policies across multiple systems (Android, iOS/iPadOS, Windows, ChromeOS, Wear OS).

What is Mobile Threat Defense?

Mobile Threat Defense is a mobile security solution designed to protect enterprise mobile devices (Android, iOS, Chromebooks) from evolving cyber threats. Utilizing a next-generation engine powered by Artificial Intelligence, Pradeo's MTD solution provides the market's most accurate threat detection, preventing data breaches and leakage on devices used for work-related activities. It offers automated detection and response, ensuring quiet, ongoing protection for end-users while alleviating the workload of CISOs and IT teams.

Pradeo, leading mobile security company, provides solutions to protect mobile devices and applications since 2011. Our technology is recognized as one of the most reliable on the market by Gartner, IDC, and Frost & Sullivan. 

Why is MTD a powerful add-on to EMM?

The comprehensive Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution from Samsung SDS securely manages mobile devices, employee access, and protects critical data, providing indispensable centralized control, secure content delivery, and streamlined user management. However, Pradeo Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) serves as a critical, advanced security layer that operates on the device itself to deliver :

• Real-time Protection: While EMM manages mobile devices and access, MTD actively detects and blocks threats like malicious apps, network attacks, and device vulnerabilities.

• Automated Response: The Samsung SDS EMM integration allows the Pradeo Security app to be deployed en masse. This enables IT administrators to instantly manage access to corporate resources based on the global security status provided by Pradeo, facilitating immediate threat mitigateion (e.g., blocking apps or disconnecting networks) directly on the user's device.

Why Organizations Need the Combination of EMM and MTD

The convergence of EMM and MTD is no longer optional but essential, particularly given the escalating cybersecurity challenges and stringent new regulations:

• Compliance with New Regulations: Increasing regulations like the European NIS2 Directive for critical infrastructure and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act mandate robust security to protect critical data. The combined solution ensures compliance with these stringent requirements.

• Addressing Rising Threats: As corporate data is constantly in transit, the duo protects against the growing sophistication of mobile cyberattacks, which a basic EMM policy cannot fully mitigate.

• High-Security Environments: For organizations operating in highly secure environments, such as those adhering to the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program, this combination ensures the necessary layers of protection for secure communication and compliance throughout the device lifecycle.

• Industry-Recognized Leadership: Pradeo’s recent recognition as a market leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Mobile Threat Defense Solutions, Q3 2024" underscores the value of this integrated security offering for global enterprises.

This continued partnership between Pradeo and Samsung SDS ensures customers can fully leverage mobility and productivity without compromising on the highest standards of security.
