iOS
devices
You can enable the
BlackBerry Secure Gateway
to allow
iOS
devices to connect to your work mail server through the
BlackBerry Infrastructure
and
BlackBerry UEM
. If you use the
BlackBerry Secure Gateway
, you don't have to expose your mail server outside of the firewall to allow users to receive work email when they are not connected to your organization's VPN or work
Wi-Fi
network.
iOS
,
Android Enterprise
, and
Samsung Knox Workspace

to transfer data between apps and your organization's network.
For
iOS
devices,
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
can provide a secure tunnel between your organization's network and all apps or only specified apps.
For
Android Enterprise
devices,
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
provides a secure tunnel between all work space apps and your organization's network.
For
Samsung Knox Workspace
devices,
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
can provide a secure tunnel between your organization's network and all work apps or only specified work apps.

BlackBerry Dynamics NOC
or can bypass the NOC using
