This was quickly followed up with a press release that said among other things, this:
BlackBerry Limited, a world leader in mobile communications, has entered into an agreement to acquire Secusmart GmbH, a leader in high-security voice and data encryption and anti-eavesdropping solutions for government organizations, enterprises and telecommunications service providers in Germany and internationally.
The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.
This is an interesting acquisition as it allows the company to further distinguish itself from the rest of the marketplace. That’s because Secusmart allow those who are really afraid of security threats to protect their voice conversations and data. That would include governments and the military. It will also force BlackBerry’s competitors to step up their game if they want to play in those spaces as well.
