BlackBerry Enterprise Solution security
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution is designed to encrypt data in transit at all points between BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to help protect your organization from data loss or alteration. Only the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and a BlackBerry device can decrypt the data that they send between each other. If events that threaten the wireless security of your organization occur, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server is designed to prevent third parties, including wireless service providers, from accessing your organization's potentially sensitive information in a decrypted format.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution uses symmetric key cryptography to encrypt messages and user data that it sends over the transport layer. Symmetric key cryptography provides the following criteria for the security of wired and wireless solutions.
- Master encryption keys
- Standard BlackBerry encryption
- Options for extending messaging security
- Options for encrypting stored data
- Controlling BlackBerry device access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
- Managing BlackBerry device security over the wireless network using IT administration commands
