BlackBerry attacks Samsung in what seems a “better security” battle

BlackBerry Monument LogoRight now BlackBerry has some momentum with recent news, (1)(2), to name a few, now it seems that BlackBerry is aggressively attacking Samsung who wishes to crown themselves king of the enterprise market with better security.

BlackBerry’s President of Global Enterprise Services, John Sims took the BlackBerry business blog to say the company (Samsung) is still ‘battle testing its enterprise platform’.

BlackBerry is unmatched when it comes to security, which is why for more than a decade we have worked closely with governments around the world, including all seven of the G7 countries.

Finally, BlackBerry continues to evolve, but as we do so we will keep the needs of our core customer segments at the center of all plans. Enterprise security, productivity and communications will remain fundamental to all that we do.

John initially started off by pointing out the security flaws and vulnerabilities in Knox, where hackers can easily intercept data of a Knox-enabled Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Does point out that BlackBerry is the only enterprise mobility management vendor and handset maker that has received the Department of Defense “Authority to Operate” certification.

John Sims was also recently brought in by BlackBerry CEO John Chen.
