MUNICH, Feb. 14,
2024 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry Limited today announced
it is the first vendor to be cleared by the German Federal Office
for Information Security, BSI, certification program for the use of
BlackBerry® Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) for mobile device
management (MDM) on Apple® iNDIGO (iOS Native Devices in Government
Operations) devices. This enables government organizations to
commence implementation of Apple iNDIGO projects to
secure government data on employee iOS® devices. The BSI has issued
certification ID (BSI-DSZ-CC-1235) associated with this
initiative, which evaluates the BlackBerry UEM solution according
to the Common Criteria Standards, Evaluation Assurance Level 4
(EAL4).
BSI requires that Apple iNDIGO devices meet stringent security
criteria for classified information. This will require a UEM
solution that can ensure the highest level of confidential
information (Verschlusssache, nur für den Dienstgebrauch, VSnfD)
can be securely transferred on mobile devices. The German
government and critical industry agencies can now use the
BlackBerry UEM platform as a foundation for rolling out iOS devices
to employees.
BlackBerry UEM holds more government security certifications
than any other UEM solution in the market. Used by governments and
enterprises around the world, BlackBerry UEM is compatible with
iOS, Android™, Windows® and Mac® devices.
"A trusted and secure mobile device policy is critically
important to operational efficiency in modern governments," said
Hans-Peter Bauer, SVP EMEA Sales,
Cybersecurity Business Unit, BlackBerry. "BlackBerry UEM being
recognized as the first to receive BSI clearance will mean the
German government and KRITIS organizations can now move ahead with
plans to support their users' choice of devices without risk of
compromise to essential compliance and confidentiality."
BlackBerry has been named the only 2023 Gartner Peer Insights
"Customers' Choice" for UEM tools, highlighting customer
feedback on deployment, capabilities and support. The recognition
follows BlackBerry also being positioned as a 'Leader' within the
IDC MarketScape: Worldwide UEM Software 2022 Vendor
Assessment and the IDC MarketScape Worldwide UEM Software for
Ruggedized/Internet of Things Device Deployments, both of which
provide an in-depth analysis of worldwide unified endpoint
management (UEM) software providers.
