WASHINGTON, May 14, 2020 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced that its
BlackBerry® Government Mobility Suite has achieved Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization.
BlackBerry Government Mobility Suite, a cloud-based endpoint
management solution developed specifically for U.S. government
agencies, protects sensitive data, whether stored or in transit,
and allows secure browsing and access to applications behind
government agency firewalls.
"BlackBerry is extremely proud to offer our Federal customers
the BlackBerry Government Mobility Suite FedRAMP-authorized cloud
service. A FedRAMP authorization provides Federal agencies
and contractors the peace of mind that a cloud solution can be
trusted to meet the stringent cybersecurity capabilities and
processes required to handle federal data," said Rear Admiral
Bob Day, U.S. Coast Guard (ret),
President of BlackBerry Government Solutions. "This means employees
can work efficiently, as well as communicate and collaborate
securely, to conduct the business of the U.S. government from
anywhere and on any device."
BlackBerry Government Mobility Suite eliminates the need for
Federal agencies to own, operate, and constantly recapitalize on
on-premises equipment. Additionally, the BlackBerry
Government Solutions U.S.-based and U.S. citizen-staffed Security
Operations and Compliance teams will manage the FedRAMP continuous
monitoring and remediation program, reducing the amount of time
that Agencies spend to ensure their mobility program meets Federal
cybersecurity requirements. The FedRAMP-authorized endpoint
management cloud solution is now listed on FedRAMP's
Marketplace.
BlackBerry's portfolio of FedRAMP-authorized cloud products also
includes BlackBerry® AtHoc® crisis communication and BlackBerry®
Protect AI-based endpoint security solutions. To date, BlackBerry
has received 14 Authorities to Operate (ATOs) from Federal agencies
including Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security,
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, National Science Foundation
and Office of Personnel Management.
