Blackberry Corp. joins National Cyber Security Alliance

Mobile phone maker BlackBerry Corp. has become the latest business to join the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), which focuses on helping all digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.

"Organizations and consumers increasingly rely on mobile technology, but they may not fully understand the security and privacy considerations that come with untethered, unlimited access to information," Michael Kaiser, the NCSA's executive director. "BlackBerry has made secure mobility a priority and knows how to keep individuals, enterprises and government agencies safe by keeping their data secure. We welcome the unique perspective that BlackBerry brings to the NCSA, and we look forward to working with BlackBerry to solve cybersecurity challenges, particularly as they relate to mobility and the Internet of things (IoT)."

BlackBerry brings NCSA sector-leading expertise in software, hardware and IoT security. The company delivers an end-to-end secure platform for mobile communications and is the only provider with secure and encrypted voice, text, messaging and enterprise file-synch-and-share capabilities.

BlackBerry has earned over 70 government certifications and approvals, more than any other mobile vendor.
