As a corporation you want control over what is installed, to be able to blacklist apps, to be able to remote erase etc. Whit BES it is already there, no need to install agents and rely on user proficiency and responsibility. I am not against "consumerization" of IT, but a messenger feature at crApple and a SAFE logo at Sammy won't cut it

Sammy I suggest you better get this SAFE patented. Otherwise Apple will patent it and claim they invented this function later.

i think all of you are pathetic with your pessimism that one system can't be made secure..

if this Samsung S3 support full device encryption, including sd card encryption (just like blackberry), I think I'll get it right away.

Prretty smart for Samsung to go for the enterprise market as well. It will succeed as more employees bring their own device from Samsung

In theory regardless which devices and IT department support or don't support, alot of securities breaches are internal staff from memory 70% insider intrusion.

But on the bright, if Samsung will security around their devices, they will have a great future. Now Samsung, bring out the Galaxy Note 2 with 5.5inch HD screen quad core so I can upgrade.

Can you add a complementary Security Software with the Samsung Galaxy S3 or does Samsung agree that even a Security Software cannot prevent a Virus from getting into the phone. Just like computers, eventhough you may have security software on it, Viruses would still come thru.

Cheers!!

As mentioned before Android is not a safe product to use for business and Government. Always be of the view your device is not safe and never use it in a critical environment. Do not fall into the trap of all things Google and massive third party spyware out there targeting all things Android because it is so easy to do so. Samsung knows this to be the case. Why do you think they are differentiating with a so called safe product. This means the normal SIII and others are not safe. You are either safe or you are not. Beware of Koreans and Google bearing gifts.

business people need their phone and it's one of their most important device. but it will be a hassle if they have to carrying a charger with them all the time.

Corp trust Samsung for software security? Kidding... Not even up to SMB level.
