BlackBerry BBRYBB today announced the U.S. Defense Information
System Agency (DISA) has given BlackBerry(R) Z10 and BlackBerry(R)
Q10 smartphones with BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Service 10, the
Authority to Operate (ATO) on Department of Defense (DoD) networks.
BlackBerry is the first Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider to
obtain an ATO.
With the ATO, DISA is now developing the infrastructure to support
BlackBerry 10 smartphones. DISA is architecting the capacity to
support 10,000 BlackBerry 10 smartphones by this fall and 30,000 by
the end of 2013 on DoD networks.
"Being the first smartphones to be supported on U.S. Department of
Defense networks further establishes BlackBerry's proven and
validated security model," said Scott Totzke, SVP, BlackBerry
Security Group at BlackBerry. "With foreign entities - governmental
and criminal - ramping up attacks on electronic communications and
information systems, BlackBerry provides government agencies with a
proven partner that follows top-to-bottom security protocols."
Receiving the ATO is a critical step forward in the security
certification process. The approval demonstrates that BlackBerry 10
smartphones meet DoD's most stringent security requirements.
BlackBerry 10 smartphones will enable DoD personnel to have the
ability to securely connect to networks and access assets from work.
The BlackBerry mobile infrastructure provides a highly responsive,
intelligent and intuitive mobile computing experience while ensuring
the personal and the corporate information on a user's phone are kept
separate and safe.
