Samsung takes mobile security by storm

Samsung is taking the mobile security market by storm with its hardware-based secure Android platform – KNOX. Tap into the growing list of over 4 million users who have activated KNOX and contributed to the revolution. How?

Join the Samsung Enterprise Alliance Program (SEAP), a free program aimed at mobile developers. Use SDKs & tools to develop for the latest cutting-edge technologies (Android, IoT, Tizen, Cordova, and more) and leverage the security of KNOX. SEAP supports the developer’s quest to build and distribute better, secure mobile apps and enterprise solutions. Whether it’s for retail, hospitality, education, or any other industry vertical – SEAP assists you at every phase of your product life-cycle. Maximize your market reach and grow your business in partnership with Samsung.

According to the Vision Mobile Developer Economics 2015 study, 43% of enterprise app developers make more than $10K per month versus 19% of consumer app developers reaching the same revenue level.
