BlackBerry Limited
BBRY a world leader in mobile communications, today
announced that BlackBerry(R) 10 has become the first mobility
solution to receive Full Operational Capability (FOC) to run on U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD) networks from the U.S. Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA). The designation follows the
Company's Authority to Operate (ATO) certification and enables
government users with a BlackBerry 10 smartphone connected with
BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Service 10 (BES10) to securely access email,
data, apps and other DoD network resources.
BlackBerry was the first Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider to
earn ATO and becomes the only vendor with FOC. The granting of FOC
completes BlackBerry's security certification process with the DoD.
"As the first mobile solutions provider to achieve FOC, BlackBerry
continues to prove why we are the most trusted enterprise mobility
platform," said John Sims, President of Global Enterprise Services at
BlackBerry. "BlackBerry worked side-by-side with DISA to help certify
the BlackBerry 10 solution offering the U.S. government an end-to-end
mobile infrastructure that does not compromise on security and
provides the most productive and collaborative mobile experience."
FOC allows government employees to realize the full security,
productivity, communication and collaboration benefits of the
BlackBerry 10 solution. One of the key features now available to DoD
customers with a BlackBerry 10 smartphone is BlackBerry(R)
Balance(TM) technology, which allows users to instantly toggle
between work and personal profiles. BlackBerry Balance separates and
secures work data from personal content, allowing the user to gain
secure access to DoD network resources, along with the full benefits
of a consumer experience. BlackBerry 10 smartphones are the only
DoD-approved smartphones with this capability.
