Launched in 2019, the Samsung Knox Validation Program is an initiative by Samsung that certifies the Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM/MDM/UEM) solution partners that meet Samsung’s Knox platform and product requirements. 

For starters, Samsung Knox is a leading mobile security suite of features designed to protect Samsung devices from unauthorized access, malware, and other security threats.
