Yesterday during the annual RSA Conference in San Francisco, BlackBerry made several announcements to reaffirm its leadership in cybersecurity and expand secure mobility solutions for customers.
- Acquisition of WatchDox: BlackBerry has entered a definitive agreement to acquire WatchDox Ltd., which offers the most secure enterprise file-synch-and-share (EFSS) solutions. The addition of WatchDox will extend BlackBerry’s commitment to help organizations securely connect employees with each other and with corporate information across all mobile and desktop platforms. Here’s a press release and a blog post on this acquisition.
- Establishment of the BlackBerry Center for High Assurance Computing (CHACE): BlackBerry’s global security R&D team will collaborate with academic institutions and industry groups to drive innovation and improvement in computer security. CHACE will extend BlackBerry’s state-of-the-art competencies in vulnerability prevention and enable the application of high assurance security research to real-world products and services. Here’s a press release and a blog post on this.
- Launch of a new managed PKI certificate service: BlackBerry subsidiary Certicom will help device manufacturers and service providers secure their IoT networks and ecosystems with the service, which is designed to scale up to hundreds of millions of connected devices. Here’s a press release on this.
It looks like BlackBerry is really looking to further assert itself in the security space. Let’s see if it helps them to gain further traction.
