    BES or the Blackberry encryption server is one of the most effective tools in security with blackberry products. All communications between BES and BlackBerries are encrypted with Triple DES or AES encryption and only the company running the BES instance have the encryption keys. That means that RIM cannot provide these keys to government organizations. This is a great tool for companies who want to be the only ones with the keys to their data. PKI is paramount at this point and the less you have to worry about the better. Most blackberries that are not connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you’re using the BlackBerry Internet Service or BIS. BIS provides the benefits of push-email to the masses. You can organize a riot, or orchestrate assignation, and you don’t even have to be wearing a suit and tie. Instead of connecting to corporate BES, you connect to a BIS server operated by your mobile carrier. This also secures incoming data from anyone not using a blackberry to contact you. This is why most people complain about lag with blackberries. Unlike BlackBerry to BlackBerry communication on BES, BIS email messages are not encrypted before they travel over a mobile carrier’s network. For BIS users, only the mobile carrier’s standard 3G/2G protection applies. Your IT department has the option of encrypting the body — not the PIN — of your PIN-to-PIN BBM messages with a key unique to the company. By default, however, BBM messages are not encrypted…

    BlackBerry has always been known for its phone’s functionality, especially for those in the business world. Blackberry’s functionality allows it to be easily accessed by anyone with any sort of mobile phone background. With such a simple design and operating system, BlackBerry cannot perform as well as other phones such as that of Apples which has a multitude of applications with numerous capabilities that serve many purposes. Although the BlackBerry lacks in functionality, it is this fact that allows BlackBerry’s simplistic design to outshine others because in the world of business, the phone’s functions are only kept at the minimal needs of calling, texting and e-mailing which the BlackBerry does with ease.…

    I believe that blackberry needs to take a longer view that will eventually help the developing nations in the Middle East and Asia increase the freedom their citizens have. Until than they should strongly cater to those entities that will benefit the most from high security, Corporations and Governments. At this time, the blackberry Phones are not very popular anywhere in the world and their market share of mobile devices is decreased to the point that they hold less than 1% of the market in the United States. However, our top government officials still use BlackBerry phones because of the strong encryption keys. (Based on my personal experience at work). Strategically Blackberry need to use the NSA debacle as a selling point along with other personal information leaks to push new BlackBerry products into the market.…

    Research in Motion (Rim)

    1) After RIM’s fall over the past few years, they have brought in a new man to be CEO and Barbara Stymiest is taking over as chair. The reaction to the choice to make Thorsten Heins the new CEO was seen as too little too late. People don’t feel that Heins will be able to shake up the company enough to make a big enough change. They are hoping the new phone coming out from Blackberry called BB 10 will do well. They have a lot riding on this, it is an all touch screen phone. I think this will be good to compete with the younger generation but the average blackberry user likes the blackberry for business purposes and the keyboard most say is easier for that. The advertising for this phone will have to be huge to bring back the former RIM users. Doing some research on it, it sounds like they are trying to incorporate all three of their main competitors and making sure this phone is personalized to each user.…
