BlackBerry Achieves NIAP Certification for BlackBerry UEM; Strengthens Security Portfolio for Government and Regulated Industries

BlackBerry Limited announced that BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Manager has achieved certification from the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), a U.S. government initiative that oversees the evaluation of commercial cybersecurity products for use in U.S. national security systems.

The NIAP certification further strengthens BlackBerry’s portfolio of certified security solutions for the government sector, as well as regulated industries that have similarly stringent security requirements. The government offering includes NIAP-certified BlackBerry SecuSUITE for Government for secure voice and FedRAMP-authorized cloud versions of BlackBerry AtHoc crisis communication, BlackBerry Protect endpoint security, and BlackBerry’s Government Mobility Suite endpoint management.
