BlackBerry
Limited
, a global leader in mobile
communications, today announced the availability of BBM(TM)
Protected, the first solution in the eBBM(TM) Suite for secure
enterprise-class messaging.
The eBBM Suite is a new family of BBM products and services built for
business that bring together the convenience and usability of BBM
with the additional security and compliance required by enterprise
customers. The eBBM Suite will include new services designed to
enable mobile workers to be more productive on the go, while meeting
enterprises' needs for security, manageability and control. The first
product in the eBBM Suite which was announced earlier this year, BBM
Protected, is being delivered ahead of schedule today.
As part of the suite, BBM Protected provides an enhanced security
model for BBM messages sent between BlackBerry smartphones. BBM
Protected brings regulated industries the most secure and reliable
real-time mobile messaging experience in the industry. BBM Protected
is the only secure mobile instant messaging app that uses a FIPS
140-2 validated cryptographic library.(1) BBM Protected enables
employees to use the same app to securely message colleagues inside
the company for work as they do to chat and share with family and
friends outside the company. Secure BBM Protected chats aren't
limited to users inside the company; employees can chat securely with
BBM Protected users at others companies too - they do not need to be
on the same BES server and no federation between servers is required.
"We've been testing BBM Protected on behalf of our customers and have
been impressed so far," said Zekeria Oezdemir, Technical Director of
NovaLink. "BBM Protected is the ideal solution for our banking and
insurance customers who have increased security needs."
The current release of BBM Protected can be used for BlackBerry
smartphones running BB0S 6.0 or later or BlackBerry 10 in Regulated
mode. Versions of BBM Protected for BlackBerry 10 smartphones using
BlackBerry Balance and iOS and Android devices are expected later
this year.
