protecting us in times of crisis and need .
2 . Protect information : Vast amounts of government ( and other sensitive ) data are being shared through smartphones , computers , and tablets , and in emails , messaging platforms , texts , social media platforms , and cloud networks . It ’ s critical that governments can protect data against those who could use it to do us harm .
3 . Protect infrastructure : We are increasingly using connected systems and devices in new ways , including gathering information about public safety threats that are underway or about to happen . The escalating footprint of the Internet of Things means that governments must ensure the enterprise infrastructure they ’ re building today can stand up to the test of time .
Even in the face of escalating threats and challenges , mobile devices and software are enabling governments to react quickly and protect themselves and the people they serve from threats to their security and privacy .
And , by leveraging these enterprise solutions and mobile devices , governments , including police forces , can work more effectively and efficiently to protect our security .
Protecting the protectors Governments today have an inherent need for a trusted partner than can help them protect the protectors . And for nearly 20 years , BlackBerry and its subsidiaries have been that trusted partner to government agencies .
Today ’ s BlackBerry has moved beyond devicefocused support to provide holistic , end-to-end communications systems that secure information , infrastructure , and people .
