WATERLOO, Ontario, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited
(NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced its SecuSUITE® for Government
offering now provides certified end-to-end encryption of all group
phone calls and instant messages for governments and enterprises
alike.
The global pandemic has forced millions of employees into
working from home. To avoid disruption, teams are turning to group
calling methods to ensure business continuity, however most are
vulnerable to threat actors. Enterprises and government officials
around the globe are increasingly being targeted by coordinated
eavesdropping attacks. SecuSUITE protects these individuals against
identity spoofing, metadata harvesting and communications
interceptions which can compromise sensitive discussions and major
operations.
David Wiseman, Vice President
Secure Communications, at BlackBerry comments: "We are delighted to
now offer secure group calling in a system that is certified by
NIAP and NSA CSfC. This is a huge advantage for governments and
organizations that are distributed internationally and require Top
Secret-grade encryption for their communications."
With a global track record for providing certified, true
end-to-end encrypted solutions for Android™ and iOS®, SecuSUITE for
Government technology is protecting 18 governments worldwide
against electronic eavesdropping from unclassified through Top
Secret clearance levels. SecuSUITE has been certified in accordance
with the Common Criteria, assuring government agencies of the
security of their mobile communications. This is critical, as
senior levels of government must be confident their sensitive
verbal and messaging communications are completely secure –
wherever they may be in the world.
Kerry Leo, Senior Vice President
at CACI International Inc comments: "The continued development of
new features by BlackBerry to the SecuSUITE software enables CACI
to deliver new capability to the SteelBox® cloud service. The new
group calling feature is already being used today by U.S. federal
civilian, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community
customers to communicate securely with groups of users on an
encrypted call from anywhere across the globe. CACI's partnership
with BlackBerry enables the technology innovations that our
customers rely on for mission success."
