About BlackBerry

BlackBerry sells secure communications software and services for governments, defense and critical infrastructure, and says it is organised into two divisions focused on security, trust, and innovation.[2][8]

BlackBerry says it has been the backbone of secure communications for governments, defense, and critical infrastructure for over four decades.[8]

BlackBerry describes its secure communications offering as three products. BlackBerry SecuSUITE protects communications with sovereign-grade encryption. BlackBerry UEM securely manages every device. BlackBerry AtHoc enables a complete coordinated loop for crisis response.[3]

BlackBerry SecuSUITE is described as a sovereign solution for secure voice, messaging, and file sharing across mobile and desktop devices. BlackBerry UEM provides secure connectivity, application management, and data separation in a single solution, covering both corporate-owned and BYOD devices. BlackBerry AtHoc is a platform that enables agencies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from critical events.[3]

On deployment, BlackBerry says its offering can be deployed on-premises or in private sovereign cloud. BlackBerry also names on-premises, air-gapped, and sovereign cloud options as support for national authority and oversight. BlackBerry Professional Services manages technical integration, policy configuration, and accreditation from start to finish.[8][12]

On certifications, BlackBerry SecuSUITE and BlackBerry UEM are both Common Criteria certified. BlackBerry SecuSUITE has been listed on the NIAP Product Compliant List since 2017. BlackBerry UEM is Common Criteria certified by BSI, the German Federal Office for Information Security. The company also states that the Canadian Communications Security Establishment has approved the use of BlackBerry products in Canada.

BlackBerry says its AtHoc system is the first Critical Event Management system authorized to operate at the FedRAMP Class D (High) level. BlackBerry also describes critical event management as unifying signals from people, systems, and external sources into one command platform.[7]

BlackBerry says its solutions are deployed by all G7 governments and 18 of the G20 for secure communications at a national scale. BlackBerry Technical Support Services comes with all enterprise software subscriptions.[1][3][7][12][13]
