LONDON: Blackberry Limited’s latest spy-proof tablets for business consumers that is armed to provide more protection to your data. This device is said to offer security with usability by allowing users to access consumer applications without being threatened by malware attacks.
Blackberry, Samsung and IBM hold hands to design an ultra protective device for users. It employs Samsung 10.5 with IBM software for data protection and Secusmart micro SD card with a chip that blocks access to malwares which is from blackberry. IBM software helps in wrapping up of data into a virtual container that prevents it from attacks of malicious software by encrypting both voice and information in the secusmart chip. This will allow both consumer applications like Facebook (FB), YouTube and so on, and at the same time protect the business information. This is where it scores over other crypto devices which do not allow certain applications to provide security.
According to Hans-Christoph Quelle, head of BlackBerry’s Secusmart unit, the secuTABLET will be made available to the public in the later part of this year. He further said more than 10,000 units will be ready for shipment by next year in Germany with a higher number sold by International Business Machines Corp. This device is being evaluated by Germany’s computer-security watchdog for considering its use for government communication and is expected to be approved by the end of the year.
Government officials and corporate consumers now focus on the device which satisfies both their personal needs and protects private information. Blackberry thus strived hard to achieve this since last year. Blackberry uses the SecuTABLET to attract customers who demand more security of their private and business data and to regain its market that was diminished due to unpleasant popularity of its previous debut Blackberry playbook.
Blackberry lost 12% of its shares when Apple (AAPL) and IBM signed contract which ensures data security to Apple users. Thus at present blackberry integrates its technology with one of its competitors to get back on track.
Undoubtedly, the need for protection against malwares and hackers is the biggest challenge ever, and the SecuTABLET, a team effort of Blackberry, Samsung, and IBM is a boon to corporate consumers and government officials. Blackberry believes that this is a good step to increase its market capital.
