Samsung and Loop Partner to Make Device Security and Management Affordable

Kenyan businesses can now access Samsung’s Knox platform, a unified system for endpoint device security and management, essentially providing a single dashboard to protect and manage every company device. Knox guards against cyber threats and streamlines IT operations through a new strategic partnership between Samsung Electronics East Africa and financial technology firm Loop.

This collaboration enables companies to secure, deploy, and manage their entire ecosystem of corporate devices, from laptops and tablets to rugged field devices and employee smartphones. For a logistics company managing delivery drivers with rugged devices, or a growing retail chain deploying tablets at its points of sale, this partnership makes first-class security and management immediately accessible. It directly addresses the significant upfront cost of enterprise technology by allowing firms to acquire the platform through flexible financing, including extended payment terms and seasonal payment schedules tailored to their operational needs, allowing them to treat technology adoption as a predictable operational expense.

What sets Samsung Knox apart is that its security is built on the Knox Platform’s hardware-level security foundation in Galaxy devices, offering a level of protection against malware and sophisticated threats that software-only solutions cannot match. It provides comprehensive unified endpoint management capabilities, offering advanced device management, security analytics, and remote troubleshooting. While deeply integrated and optimized for Samsung Galaxy products, the platform also supports other operating systems, all of which are managed from a single, powerful console.

“Modern businesses run on a fleet of diverse devices, and securing every single one is a necessity, especially when it comes to matters of cybersecurity. The challenge has always been the high initial investment,” said Anthony Njihia, B2B Manager, Mobile eXperience Division at Samsung Electronics East Africa. “This partnership with Loop removes that barrier. We are now offering our built-in security software with a financial model that matches the operational realities of Kenyan businesses. This is about enabling every company to protect their data and enhance productivity from day one”.

“Our goal at Loop is to empower business growth through innovative and accessible financial solutions,” said Alex Kibera, Ecosystems Business at Loop. “By financing a world-class solution like Samsung Knox, we are providing companies with the tools to innovate and compete securely. This partnership allows businesses to access Samsung Knox’s complete portfolio, including Knox Platform for Enterprise, Knox Mobile Enrolment, Knox Manage, and Knox Asset Intelligence.’’

The financing solutions are available immediately and are bundled with comprehensive support to assist businesses from deployment through ongoing management. To learn more about acquiring Samsung Knox through Loop’s flexible financing, businesses are encouraged to visit.
