Enabling Secure Mobile Government

Research In Motion (RIM) is a market leader in the area of information assurance and compliance. BlackBerry® products are subjected to rigorous independent, third party approvals and certifications for security. As a result, RIM has received more security accreditations globally than any other wireless solution.

In 2006 CESG approved the BlackBerry solution for use by government with restricted data.

BlackBerry solutions are an 'out of the box' end to end wireless email and data solution.  With the CESG guidance for BlackBerry solutions use with restricted data available, public sector employees can now safely deploy:

• Mobile email
• Mobile data services
• Mobile PIM

BlackBerry solutions offer public sector users the assurance that data and emails are secure, both in transit and on the device. The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution uses widely trusted encryption technologies that are considered computationally infeasible to break, namely:

• Data Encryption Standard (Triple-DES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data in transit. All data remains fully encrypted during transit.
• AES for data on the device.

BlackBerry solutions keep mobile government and public sector professionals securely connected to colleagues and operational data. They are delivering tangible efficiencies and improvements in business processes to public sector organisations that are helping to deliver substantial cost savings.

As well as the built in wireless applications like email, personal organiser and phone, BlackBerry devices are being used by field workers to access key applications such as patient records, social services systems and the Police National Computer. CESG approval means that BlackBerry solutions can now be deployed with confidence by government organisations which need to provide mobile access to restricted data.
