Motorola announces the motorola edge 40 business edition, further strengthening its portfolio for enterprises. The motorola edge 40 is beautifully sleek, comfortable to hold, and even offers IP68 underwater protection¹ to protect against an accidental drop in fresh water. It also features the power and performance needed for small, medium, and large corporations, along with business-grade security.
The edge 40 business edition arrives with an end-to-end portfolio of services and solutions that deliver seamless protection and full manageability backed by ThinkShield. ThinkShield is a security platform – which enhances protection at every level from the factory to the phone – underlying fundamental security policies, features, specialized hardware, software and processes that aim to secure the entire device. Plus, the edge 40 business edition has 4 years of security updates to make sure it’s always up to date.
With moto edge 40 business edition, Motorola is introducing the latest and most advanced ThinkShield security feature ever, Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP). RKP is designed to provide business customers with enhanced device protection against threats and exploits used to target their devices. With the introduction of RKP, Motorola is further demonstrating its commitment to business customers by delivering features and solutions they require to help keep their devices and data protected, and their employees productive. RKP goes above and beyond current protections provided by Android’s kernel self-protections to provide one of the highest levels of security available. With moto edge 40 business edition, RKP is turned on right out of the box and there is no configuration needed.
For security and IT professionals, RKP helps protect against code attempting to exploit the kernel and critical system resources, including malicious device drivers. RKP adds privileged locks to critical system resources and components, preventing misuse. These protections are applied outside the kernel by an isolated, secured hypervisor framework, which wraps around the Android OS. This framework helps prevent additional routes to compromise the kernel, and if the kernel is compromised, the attackers would still be blocked by the real-time kernel protection from accessing any critical system components. With the motorola edge 40 business edition and RKP Motorola’s business customers will have one the highest levels of protection on their devices.
