BlackBerry, a global provider of secure mobile communications, has completed another step of its integration of the BES12, Good Dynamics and WatchDox by BlackBerry products into a single management experience. With the BES12, Good Dynamics and WatchDox integration by BlackBerry, organisations can choose the right approach across all users, device and OS platforms and ownership models without creating administrative overhead and while controlling their expenditure.
BlackBerry continues to integrate key capabilities from its enterprise software portfolio into the Good Secure EMM Suites. Enterprises typically consist of different user bases and data sensitivities that require multiple security approaches. In addition, many organisations enable various device ownership models such as bring your own device (BYOD), company-issued personal-enabled (COPE) or ) or company-issued business-only (COBO) that create different requirements for protecting user privacy. Whereas best of breed management of devices, apps and content has traditionally required multiple consoles from multiple vendors, with BlackBerry´s multi-OS enterprise mobile management (EMM) platform administrators will be able to manage their mobile deployment at the device, app and content layer from a single secure platform.
“With the latest enterprise portfolio enhancements, our Good Secure EMM Suites will provide customers with flexibility to apply security and policies across the various device, OS, container, application, network and file layers, from a single unified platform and console,” said Billy Ho, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Product and Value Added Solutions, BlackBerry.
Customers will be able to deploy Good Dynamics apps in the Samsung KNOX Workspace, combining the BES12 unique end-end management and security capabilities for KNOX Workspace devices with the rich experience of the Good Dynamics platform and productivity apps. Customers can then leverage a unified self-service portal that can be customised by the organisation.
In addition to enhancing the unified administrative experience for the Good Secure EMM Suites, BlackBerry also announced the AtHoc mobile app for Good and split billing features with BlackBerry WorkLife. These new capabilities will be integrated with the Good Dynamics platform:
Networked crisis communication
The AtHoc mobile app is being built specifically for the Good Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform. The app will simplify the user experience while adding security and controls that users have come to expect from the Good platform. During an event, users of the app can receive critical alerts, send one-click duress signals, and share photos and video along with their real-time GPS location to provide further awareness and protection.
Split billing for cost control
With BlackBerry WorkLife - Advanced Analytics, users can monitor cellular data usage of any Good Dynamics, custom built and third-party applications developed with the Good Dynamics SDK v2.0 or later, produce reports and shape usage policies, without infringing on personal privacy or content. Companies can see their cellular data usage over time by app, user, device or carrier graphically, with filters so they can quickly identify patterns. The data can be also exported for offline analysis to support stipend calculations, chargeback or compliance demands. Personal data usage or activity on the same device is never tracked, and no change in user behaviour or mobile device installations is required.
BlackBerry WorkLife - Reimbursement is facilitated for work-related data usage on iOS and Android devices. Organisations can ensure they pay only for the data employees use for work, reducing or eliminating stipends and reimbursement programmes while pre-empting HR, tax and compliance issues.
BlackBerry also announced WatchDox by BlackBerry Email Protector, an entirely new offering that provides businesses with the means of automatically controlling and securing files sent through email by embedding file-level digital rights management (DRM) protection, even after they leave the organisation´s firewall. In addition, WatchDox File Sync and Share integration will be available for Salesforce.com and Microsoft Office Online.
“The emergence of cloud services as core components of business infrastructure is changing the way organisations need to approach security. WatchDox protects the new borderless enterprise by delivering not only the most secure EFSS File Sync and Share solutions but enhanced integration with Salesforce.com and the new BlackBerry Email Protector,” said Ho. "The risk of data loss is significantly minimised by encrypting and enforcing DRM protection at the file-level when users are viewing, editing and annotating synced documents, no matter on which side of the firewall those documents travel.”
Email Protector leverages the WatchDox platform to automatically apply DRM protection to email attachments sent through an organisation’s email gateway based on controllable policies such as recipient or file type. Email Protector also integrates with email data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to enforce file-level security based on DLP security policies. If the DLP system identifies an email with sensitive business information, WatchDox will embed DRM security into the attachment before it leaves the firewall.
As one of the most used software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications and a system of record, increasing amounts of data are now contained within Salesforce. This includes very sensitive information about the company’s business, including leads, contacts, and sales opportunities as well as other insights into the operations. Companies working with Salesforce can take full advantage of WatchDox storage, sharing, collaboration and customisable document security features, directly from within Salesforce.com. By using WatchDox to store and share files specific to Salesforce records, organisations can apply policies to avoid costly data loss. Access controls are completely customisable and intuitive and files can be set to expire, or be revoked at any time.
