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

Samsung SDS Europe will continue its strategic partnership with Pradeo, a recognized leader in mobile and application security. This sustained alliance reinforces the commitment of both companies to deliver the most efficient and robust mobile protection for enterprises globally, leveraging the powerful combination of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and Mobile Threat Defense (MTD).

Continuing the Strategic Partnership between Pradeo and Samsung SDS

Samsung SDS and Pradeo 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, which seamlessly integrates into Samsung SDS's cutting-edge EMM solution.

Who is Pradeo and what is Mobile Threat Defense?

Pradeo is a recognized pioneer in Mobile and Application Security, founded in 2011 with a mission to bring clarity, control, and trust to mobile ecosystems. After years of dedicated R&D, Pradeo expanded its portfolio from Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST) to comprehensive Mobile Threat Defense. By 2014, Pradeo was recognized as a reference in its field by leading research firms, including Gartner, IDC, and Forrester.

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, MTD 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.

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, Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) serves as a critical, advanced security layer that operates on the device itself to

Key Synergy:

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 immense value of this integrated security offering for global enterprises.

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