"Samsung customers can uniquely enable the Good secure container as the mobile app security and management stack on KNOX devices and leverage the entire Good ecosystem of business productivity apps."

"Good is the first KNOX partner afforded a secure domain on KNOX enabled devices, and we believe this integration will greatly accelerate Android adoption for our enterprise customers," said Injong Rhee, Senior Vice President of KNOX Business, IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics.
