While governments are making great strides in digital transformation, and leveraging “things” in the process, they’ve tended to adopt point solutions, or a patchwork approach, to secure these innovations.

The BlackBerry® Government Mobility Suite is a cloud-based endpoint management solution, offering a single, integrated view of users, devices, applications and policies within your IT environment.

Customers can use the BlackBerry Government Mobility Suite to unify endpoints across all ownership models and operating systems, while securing sensitive data.

Endpoint Security & Management from BlackBerry

Hardening government assets to thwart cyberattacks requires a new, AI-based model of threat prevention. BlackBerry solutions protect federal high-value assets (HVAs) with endpoint AI that evolves daily, preventing cyberattacks from ever being successful. As cybersecurity threats become more sophisticated and pervasive, a comprehensive approach to endpoint security and management is essential to protect against and remediate cyber threats, while providing visibility across all endpoints.  

BlackBerry Spark® enables a Zero Trust security environment focused on earning trust across any endpoint, including desktop, mobile, server and IoT. It continuously validates that trust at every event or transaction, authenticating users to deliver a Zero Touch experience.

Where there’s the greatest threat, you need the highest security. SecuSUITE® is a leading solution for end-to-end encryption of voice calls and text messages. Used by more than 20 governments across the globe, it safeguards sensitive conversations against electronic eavesdropping. SecuSUITE is listed on both the NIAP Product Compliant List (PCL) and NSA Commercial Solutions for Classified Program (CSfC) List.
