BlackBerry touts itself as a tech company that provides more than adequate security on its devices. This is why most users of the company's mobile products are top level executives, or those who wish their data to be protected at the highest levels.
Now aiming to widen their range of secure mobile devices, BlackBerry partnered with IBM and Samsung Electronics and came up with SecuTABLET. The new slate will be presented by BlackBerry unit Secusmart at CeBIT 2015 in Germany.
Speaking about how BlackBerry stresses secure communications, Secusmart CEO Dr. Hans Christoph Quelle said, "Security is ingrained in every part of BlackBerry's portfolio, which includes voice and data encryption solutions.
"National and international government customers have entrusted their voice and data communications with the Secusmart Security Card for years. This same technology is what secures the new SecuTABLET. Working alongside IBM and Samsung, we have added the last link in the chain of the Federal Security Network. Subject to certification of the SecuTABLET, German government agencies will have a new way to access BlackBerry's most secure and complete communications network in the world."
With specs based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, BlackBerry's SecuTABLET is modified and made more secure. This is to achieve protection that would entice both enterprise and government use. According to BlackBerry, the SecuTABLET is modified so that it can store and handle classified government documents or the most sensitive and confidential business information without any risks.
In addition to the robust technology by Secusmart, the SecuTABLET will also be using a secure wrapping technology from IBM. This means that even if a user inadvertently downloads a malicious application, the risk will not compromise any information stored on the device.
No exact pricing has been detailed, but the SecuTABLET would likely be around $2,300 when it becomes available.
