BlackBerry SecuSUITE to add Quantum
Security
WATERLOO, ON, Oct. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:
BB; TSX: BB) today announced new advanced features for BlackBerry
SecuSUITE® for Government, the company's secure voice
and text communications software.
SecuSUITE is used by over twenty governments today to protect
them from electronic eavesdropping for unclassified through secret
communications. The technology is backed by some of the most
stringent security accreditations including from NATO's
Communications and Information Agency (NCI) and the United States
National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP).
The new features, being made generally available by the end of
the year, include:
- Secure browser and secure enterprise applications
- Encrypted video calling with recordkeeping compliance
capabilities
- New messaging features, including the ability to retract
messages and inter-application data sharing
- Enhanced group calls with audio mixing on each mobile
device
- Enhanced administrative features, including group controls and
one-click data wipes that are compliant with recordkeeping
requirements
Furthermore, next year, quantum resistant cryptography for key
exchanges will be added to BlackBerry SecuSUITE.
"We live in a world where government communications are at a
growing risk of being intercepted and we must constantly adapt to
an ever-evolving threat landscape," said Christoph Erdmann, SVP Secusmart at BlackBerry.
"We are always innovating so that our products meet and exceed the
needs and standards of government entities, to do our part in
protecting national security. These advances in BlackBerry
SecuSUITE bring new security and user experience value to end users
and administrators."
"SecuSUITE is instrumental in our organization's move away from
consumer-grade applications," said Ludwig
Seidl, CEO of ICSL. "BlackBerry knows what we need in a
platform, often before even we do. Thanks to them, we have been
able to secure new customers across a number of countries this
year."
"SecuSUITE is a key differentiator for our customers," said
Adrian Silva, Globlue CEO. "Its many
certifications and advanced cryptography capabilities give us and
our customers peace of mind that their communications are
secure."

place on October 17 in New York, where leaders from government,

Cybersecurity and showcase the latest BlackBerry innovations.
