LG Electronics (LG) has announced that the G5 and V10 smartphones have both been certified by the U.S. National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) for use in enterprise and military programs.

 

The NIAP administers the internationally recognized Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) for evaluating security conformance with the Common Criteria international standard in 25 countries such as Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

 

LG’s flagship smartphones are equipped with LG’s GATE technology for enhanced platform, network, and application security that allow for secure, reliable access to enterprise data. GATE was developed in 2013 and provides mobile device management and hacking protection for phones using the service. 

 

What’s more, LG G5 and V10 also feature Google’s Android for Work which also leverages GATE network capabilities to separate work and personal apps.

 

“With the growing importance of higher security in business these days, we believe a firm security platform is a must for mobile workplace devices,” said Chris Yie, vice president and head of marketing communications for LG Mobile Communications Company. “This certification is confirmation that LG smartphones are among the most secure mobile devices available today.”
