SAFE™ (Samsung For Enterprise)

SAFE™: “SAFE™” (Samsung for Enterprise) is a mark
for a Samsung device which has been tested against
Samsung’s own internal criteria for interoperability with
certain third party security-related solutions for MDM
and VPN. The testing includes field testing with local
network connection and menu tree testing which tests
functionality of the solutions in conjunction with the
Samsung device. During the testing, the device is tested
with the security solutions to see if the solutions work
with the device as described by the third party security
solution providers. The testing, for example, includes
field testing with local network connection and menu
tree testing which tests functionality of the solutions
in conjunction with the Samsung device. For more
information about Samsung’s SAFE™ program, please
