BlackBerry : Mobilizing Workers in Regulated Industries Poses Bigger Security Challenges. Here are the Solutions.

[Attachment] Organizations in fields like healthcare, government, and financial services are faced with several unique challenges where mobility is concerned. On one hand, they must follow frameworks and directives such as MiFID II, regulations that dictate requirements around encryption strength, data storage, and data discoverability. On the other, workers in these industries have the same needs as anywhere else.

They must have access to the corporate resources they require to do their job. They must have the ability to quickly and easily collaborate with one another. And in some cases, they demand the ability to use their personal devices in the workplace.

How can IT professionals accomplish all of this without significant security trade-offs?

BlackBerry's Security Leadership Shines Through

A survey of enterprise customers, the Critical Capabilities Report details how advanced EMM users use their mobility solutions.

As you may recall, this is not the only time our leadership has been recognized. Besides being recognized a Leader in Gartner's EMM Magic Quadrant, we also received the highest score in 6 out of 6 use cases in Gartner's Critical Capabilities for High Security Mobility Management Report last August.
