The company has expanded its SecuSUITE offering in the Asia-Pacific, partnering with NSI Global, Praesidium Group and Teletrol-One.
The platform was recently recognised with a security accreditation for use by NATO’s communications and information agency, providing protection to government agencies and intelligence services against eavesdropping threats.
As a result of the accreditation, the platform can be used for NATO secure communications.
“BlackBerry is pleased to expand its global footprint with select new APAC partners, helping government and industries to more effectively secure mobile communications and protect people and operations,” David Wiseman, vice-president of secure communications at BlackBerry, said.
“Recent events in Australia and the Asia-Pacific continue to show why information security must be impenetrable. Surveillance, espionage and interception of calls and messaging is on the rise, so to ensure all back doors are fully closed, a more complete approach to securing real-time information with reliable and easy-to-use technology is imperative.”
The product is a secure off-the-shelf app for Apple, Android and Windows devices, protecting devices against eavesdropping.
Navid Sobbi, chief executive officer of NSI Global, explained that the system was essential in intelligence.
“As a leading provider of counterintelligence, counterterrorism intelligence, digital forensics, geopolitical risk and other solutions, we understand that the technology tools we provide our clients must have bulletproof levels of security,” Sobbi explained.
“Following extensive digital forensic testing of SecuSUITE in our lab, we partnered with BlackBerry to offer its maximum-security, encrypted mobile communications.
“Another appeal was its ease-of-use, offering trusted communications in a simple way — via a highly secure app that is easy to deploy to employee devices, wherever they are.”
