BlackBerry Launches Secure Work Space for iOS and Android

BlackBerry today announced the availability of Secure Work Space, a new security solution that separates work and personal apps and data on iOS and Android devices. The feature is a new option that comes with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (version 10.1.1).

Secure Work Space offers an ideal BYOD mobile security solution, providing organizations the flexibility to embrace BYOD without sacrificing security. On a personal iOS or Android device, users with Secure Work Space get integrated email (with attachment viewing), calendar and contacts for productivity, as well as secure browser access to intranets and document editing capabilities with BlackBerry’s Documents To Go. With corporate data separated and controlled within the Secure Work Space container, these standard apps can be deployed with confidence to any user, together with other apps chosen by the company.

Secure Work Space uses the same trusted behind-the-firewall connection available for BlackBerry smartphones and extends BlackBerry security capabilities for data-at-rest and data-in-transit to iOS and Android devices. The container is managed through BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, making it easy and convenient to manage all devices from its single console. The solution also enables customers to save considerable effort, administration and expense as they no longer need to configure and manage expensive VPN infrastructures to provide mobile device access to data and apps that reside behind their corporate firewalls.
