(Reuters) - BlackBerry Ltd U.S.-listed shares
The partnership comes at a time when companies are ramping up their cybersecurity capabilities after a wave of attacks on high-profile companies pointed to security flaws.
BlackBerry has focused on developing security software since it stopped making smartphones in 2016 after failing to compete with Android phones and Apple Inc iPhones.
As part of the partnership, the Canadian software maker's platform, BlackBerry Enterprise Bridge, will allow businesses to securely access Microsoft's apps such as Excel, Word and PowerPoint on smartphones.
