SEOUL: BlackBerry owned company Secusmart has introduced new tablet named the secuTABLET. The security focused tablet has been modelled on the Samsung Galaxy 10.5 and runs Samsung Hardware. According to speculation, the device is expected to be priced at $2,380 (roughly Rs.1, 49,000)
Secusmart has claimed that the tablet is targeted at businesses and governments. This is due to the large number of security threats that they might face in cyberspace.
CEO of Secusmart, Dr Hans-Christoph Quelle has said, “Security is ingrained in every part of Blackberry’s portfolio, which includes voice and data encryption solutions.” He added, “Subject to certification of the Secutablet, German government agencies will have a new way to access Blackberry’s most secure and complete communications network in the world.”
The Secutablet will be BlackBerry 10 compatible, and will also utilise the ‘app wrapping’ technology of IBM which will add more layers of security to sensitive data.
BlackBerry has previously not been able to stand out in the tablet market and has had an average showing. Its PlayBook, which was launched way back in 2010, had also failed to achieve target sales.
