BlackBerry is known for its tight security measures and today the company announced that it is bringing BBM Protected to BBM for iOS [its enterprise-grade encrypted messaging service.]
The keys to encrypt messages in BBM Protected will be generated on the iPhone device itself. This prevents any hacker attacks, providing greater security.
No additional setup or OS upgrade is required since this feature can easily be deployed in enterprises that already use BBM for communication. Just so you know, BBM Protected is a paid service but BlackBerry is offering a free 30-day trial to enterprises, and don’t worry, Blackberry OS 10 and Android aren’t left out of this offer.
BBM Protected users can start a chat with other BBM Protected users in their organisation as well as outside of it. In case the recipient (or sender) does not use BBM Protected, the other party in the conversation can still initiate an encrypted and trusted chat environment.
