Default

This policy includes all the standard IT policy rules that are set on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Individual-Liable Devices

Similar to the Default IT policy, this policy prevents BlackBerry device users from accessing organizer data from within the social networking applications on their BlackBerry devices.

This policy permits users to access their personal calendar services and email messaging services (for example, their BlackBerry® Internet Service accounts), update the BlackBerry® Device Software using methods that exist outside your organization, make calls when devices are locked, and cut, copy, and paste text. Users cannot forward email messages from one email messaging service to another.

You can use the Individual-Liable Devices IT policy if your organization includes users who purchase their own devices and connect the devices to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server instance in your organization's environment.

Basic Password Security

Similar to the Default IT policy, this policy also requires a basic password that users can use to unlock their devices. Users must change the passwords regularly. The IT policy includes a password timeout that locks devices.

Medium Password Security

Similar to the Default IT policy, this policy also requires a complex password that users can use to unlock their devices. Users must change the passwords regularly. This policy includes a maximum password history and turns off Bluetooth® technology on devices.

Medium Security with No 3rd Party Applications

Similar to the Medium Password Security, this policy requires a complex password that a user must change frequently, a security timeout, and a maximum password history. This policy prevents users from making their devices discoverable by other Bluetooth enabled devices and prevents devices from downloading third-party applications.

Advanced Security

Similar to the Default IT policy, this IT policy also requires a complex password that users must change frequently, a password timeout that locks devices, and a maximum password history. This policy restricts Bluetooth technology on devices, turns on strong content protection, turns off USB mass storage, and requires devices to encrypt external file systems.

Advanced Security with No 3rd Party Applications

Similar to the Advanced Security IT policy, this IT policy requires a complex password that users must change frequently, a password timeout that locks devices, and a maximum password history. This policy restricts Bluetooth technology on devices, turns on strong content protection, turns off USB mass storage, requires devices to encrypt external file systems, and prevents devices from downloading third-party applications.
