BlackBerry UEM and Okta integration will enable enterprise
security and workforce productivity from anywhere
WATERLOO, ON, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) announced today a technology
integration between Okta, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:OKTA) Identity Cloud and
BlackBerry Spark® unified endpoint management (UEM).
Many organizations are struggling to embrace the new
work-from-anywhere world. The crux of this issue is ensuring
employees can work both seamlessly and securely from any device and
any location. The integration of Okta and BlackBerry UEM
enables organizations to make the authentication experience
frictionless, optimize workforce productivity and maintain the
highest security posture. Identity authentication is a
foundational component of an organization's zero trust
strategy.
BlackBerry UEM, a comprehensive endpoint management solution
with industry-leading security, enables employee productivity
across an organization's devices, applications, users, and use
cases. BlackBerry UEM is used by many of the world's largest
organizations, including governments, financial services,
healthcare, and more. The solution has the most government
certifications in the industry, including FedRAMP, NIAP, DoDIN APL,
and NSA CSfC.
"BlackBerry UEM gives employees the flexibility to work from
anywhere, and organizations the confidence their corporate data is
always protected," said Alex Willis,
Vice President of Technical Solutions, BlackBerry. "We are
delighted to partner with Okta, a leading provider of identity
management, to deliver advanced security and a superior employee
experience to our customers around the world."
"Organizations no longer have to choose between productivity and
security as they arm their workforce with the digital tools they
need," said Lee Tschetter, Director
of Technical Strategy, Okta. "We are pleased to partner with
BlackBerry to offer our mutual customers an integrated,
best-in-class solution for their identity and access management
needs."
