Google and BlackBerry are working together to provide flexible management and advanced security for Android devices and apps.

Back in January of this year, BlackBerry announced the Good Secure EMM Suites, a new set of enterprise mobility management suites bringing together business‑class, certified secure productivity apps for iOS and Android with globally recognized secure MDM, offering businesses new ways to mobilize their multi‑OS devices and apps to drive real end user productivity.

With the launch of the Good Secure EMM Suites, the BlackBerry enterprise mobility software portfolio has been enhanced with all new functionality:

  • Full integration of WatchDox into the BES12 console, including leveraging the Documents to Go mobile app for full-featured editing of secure documents on the move.
  • Private App Management, ActiveSync Gatekeeping and Windows 10 support are added to BES12 Cloud.
  • Team Chat for organizational teams, High Priority Messages, and enhanced notifications within Multi-Person Chats have been added to BBM Protected.
  • Good Work 2.0 adds many new features and enhancements. Now Good Access supports Windows devices and PCs. And new WatchDox for Good combines the leading secure EFSS with the Good Secure Container.

Google’s Android for Work is a program for supporting enterprise use of Android, which consists of product features in Android, Google Play for Work, and other productivity tools. Android for Work is primarily exposed via APIs that enterprise mobility management (EMM) providers and enterprise application developers can use to deliver a secure, productive, and rich mobile experience to their customers’ employees.

Solutions built on Android for Work include these benefits:

  • Data security—Business data is separated in a work profile and protected device-wide on work-managed devices. IT can apply data leakage prevention policies.
  • Apps security—Work apps are deployed through Google Play for Work. IT can prevent installation of apps from unknown sources and apply app configurations.
  • Device security—Android for Work devices are protected with disk encryption, lockscreen, remote attestation services, and hardware-backed keystore when available.

Google and BlackBerry are hosting a webinar where you can learn how the two companies are working together to provide flexible management and advanced security for Android devices and apps.

Join the BlackBerry & Google teams to learn more about this partnership and how the Secure EMM Suites + Android for Work address mobile productivity, security and manageability concerns.

The webinar will be hosted by David Arnold, Sr. Enterprise Solutions Manager at BlackBerry and Michael Wyatt, EMEA Head of Chrome and Android at Google and takes place on Wednesday, Apr 13, 2016 at 4pm GMT / 11am EDT.
