AUBURN, Wash. (PRWEB) February 10, 2015 -- Zones, Inc., today announced its authorization as a Platinum Reseller of the Samsung KNOX security platform for the Samsung Galaxy line of mobile devices.

--Government certifications: KNOX has a growing list of demonstrated compliance certifications within the highly-regulated government and defense markets worldwide. No other android device can claim this level of acceptance.
