Integration enables secure use of iMessage,
WhatsApp, WeChat, and other messaging apps in regulated
industries
WATERLOO, ON, July 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:
BB; TSX: BB) and LeapXpert, the enterprise-grade responsible
business communication platform, today announced a strategic
collaboration that will enable the use of the BlackBerry® Dynamics™
platform in tandem with popular messaging applications to drive
greater business communication yet retain strong security and
governance posture.
Integrating LeapXpert into the BlackBerry Dynamics platform will
provide customers with secure communication through leading
messaging applications such as iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS, WeChat,
Telegram, Signal, LINE, and more to ensure employee-customer
interactions are encrypted and captured. Additionally, the
integration will provide customers with secure storage for
sensitive information and data leakage protection.
As businesses continue to operate in remote environments,
messaging applications are becoming ever-more essential to maintain
business continuity. LeapXpert uses API technology with a modern,
intuitive mobile and desktop user interface to allow secure
communication with customers and external parties. The integration
will deliver increased security and control that highly regulated
industries such as the financial sector need when communicating
with their clients to maintain compliance.
"In the age where 'pinging people' is part of the day-to-day
role, messaging applications have become the new battlegrounds for
attackers looking to prey on sensitive information," said
Alex Willis, Vice President, Sales
Engineering and ISV's at BlackBerry. "BlackBerry has always
prioritized secure end-to-end encryption of communication channels
since our start, so it's a pleasure to partner with LeapXpert to
provide BlackBerry Dynamics' customers with privacy and protection
of their data through the world's most popular messaging apps,
helping them maintain compliance."
"We are thrilled to collaborate with BlackBerry around this
strategic integration," said Avi
Pardo, Co-Founder & COO of LeapXpert. "Our platform will
be available directly through BlackBerry channels and by dedicating
our efforts to secure business communication and providing enhanced
protection against data leakage and cyber threats, we are
inherently enhancing trust among customers."
