The security of the Android platform has always been criticized, so since BlackBerry plans to launch Priv phones based on the Android platform, people have always doubted whether BlackBerry, which has always been known for its security, can continue to maintain its security on the Android platform. Blackberry just announced its Priv security policy.
Blackberry's position in the field of mobile security is beyond doubt. Previously, the mobile phone system built by Blackberry was known as the safest smart phone system. Therefore, politicians and business people in all countries love BlackBerry. The BlackBerry's own mobile phone system is increasingly unable to adapt to the current competition of mobile platforms and faces the situation of being eliminated. Therefore, Cheng Shouzong, CEO of BlackBerry, said at the beginning of the year that BlackBerry would consider launching an Android based smartphone if it could make the Android system as secure as BlackBerry OS. So Priv came into being.
If there is no accident, the first Android phone Priv of BlackBerry will be officially released next month. Maybe before the release, we want to dispel the doubt we mentioned before: whether BlackBerry can continue to maintain its security on the Android platform. Blackberry announced the security policy of Priv on its official blog today.
——On the hardware, BlackBerry Priv adds a unique key to the mobile phone during the production process to ensure the security of the mobile phone from the bottom;
——At each startup, the BlackBerry Priv starts the security self-test from the system to the application to prevent the mobile phone system from being tampered with;
——Blackberry Priv's various system services are also encrypted, including FIPS 140-2 full disk encryption to protect privacy; (Google has forced all devices equipped with Android 6.0 to add full encryption function)
——BlackBerry Infrastructure's unique global network security system will provide BP level data encryption for professionals and business users;
——Blackberry Priv will also have built-in BES12 enterprise mobile management platform, which is designed to serve top government and enterprise customers;
——Sandbox mechanism, Blackberry will separate work from personal data and applications. Personal space allows you to download applications to protect your personal privacy, while workspace allows enterprises to protect the security of their corporate data.
——At the same time, Blackberry's own DTEK security application will provide strong security support, so that users can use it with confidence.
Finally, Blackberry also said that Priv not only enables users to enjoy the rich applications brought by the world's largest mobile application store, but also ensures that it is the world's most secure mobile platform.
