Case Study: Thomson Reuters achieves enhanced mobile security and 10–15% user growth with Samsung Knox

Boosting Security for Enterprise Financial Services Clients

Thomson Reuters, a global provider of technology and data for financial, legal and accounting professionals, needed to bolster security for its flagship Eikon Mobile app after enterprise banking clients demanded stronger protection for sensitive data and regulatory compliance. The company wanted an extra layer of security that would satisfy fiduciary and compliance requirements without degrading end-user experience, so it engaged Samsung to explore a Knox-enabled solution.

Samsung worked with the Eikon Mobile team to deliver a separate KEA (Knox-enabled application) version of Eikon Mobile that uses the Samsung Knox container and encryption to isolate app, communication and data without impacting performance. The Knox integration sped development and rollout, gave clients customizable MDM options, and drove measurable results: Thomson Reuters achieved a steady 10–15% annualized user growth, expanded Knox-enabled KEA versions to legal and accounting apps, and adopted Samsung Knox as a core part of its product foundation.
