What is BlackBerry Protect Mobile?

BlackBerry Protect Mobile is a suite of features that enhances the ability of BlackBerry UEM to detect, prevent, and resolve security threats without disrupting the productivity of your workforce. The BlackBerry Protect Mobile features are fully integrated into the existing components of the overall UEM server and device architecture, so no additional software footprint or user actions are required to benefit from BlackBerry Protect Mobile. Your valuable data and resources are protected continuously without intruding on the daily activity of your device users.

Description

Detecting sideloaded apps

Android

iOS

The UEM server, the UEM Client, and BlackBerry Dynamics apps can detect sideloaded apps on devices and execute a compliance action that you specify.

Note: For devices with iOS 17.5 or later and the “User privacy” activation type, sideload detection is not supported.

Protecting devices from network threats

Android

iOS

BlackBerry Access, BlackBerry Work, and the UEM Client can detect insecure networks and insecure Wi-Fi and take a compliance action that you specify.

App integrity checking

iOS

UEM can leverage the Apple DeviceCheck framework to verify the integrity of BlackBerry or ISV authored BlackBerry Dynamics apps. UEM also supports partial integrity checking for custom BlackBerry Dynamics apps, based on the Apple team ID that is associated with the app, without leveraging the DeviceCheck framework.

Hardware certificate attestation

Android

BlackBerry Protect Mobile extends security patch level enforcement to BlackBerry Dynamics apps. If the security patch level is not satisfied, UEM takes a compliance action that you specify.
