With the modern
mobile technology we now use there is more sensitive information stored
onto these devices as they are used for various things such as email or
online banking, and now Canadian smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry is
looking to help provide a more secure work space on Android and iOS.
The company has today launched a new service that will allow
corporate clients and government agencies to better manage and secure
mobile devices that are using Android or iOS. This new service will be
managed via the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 that is a new system
that was originally launched at the beginning of this year.
This allows the company’s clients to manage mobile hardware via their
internal networks keeping both personal and company information safe on
the same device. It provides a safe container to store corporate apps
such as emails, contacts, tasks, and the calendar separate from user’s
personal apps.
The service has been designed to prevent data leakage that includes
copy and paste between the Secure Work Space elements and the rest of
the device, and it will also create a fully encrypted tunnel to the
server.
This ensures that all communications that come from the device are
secure even if the Internet connection that is being used is not, and IT
employees will be able to remotely delete these elements without
touching the user’s personal data or apps stored onto the device.
Do you think mobile devices are secure enough?
