Blackout for BlackBerry
Device management for disconnected handhelds.
Clean the contents from your lost or stolen BlackBerry smartphone, always...
The security of the BlackBerry® platform is recognized as superior to all other mobile systems. But what if your corporate BlackBerry smartphone is lost or stolen and is therefore no longer connected to your BlackBerry® Enterprise Server because someone removed the SIM card? Or what if you’re a BlackBerry® Internet Service or solution pre-paid user? Sending a wipe command to your BlackBerry smartphone is not an option. BlackOut for BlackBerry smartphones reduces the risk of data theft from a lost or stolen BlackBerry smartphone. It wipes itself when adjustable triggers (setup using IT-policies or our online portal) are met.
BlackOut triggers
- your BlackBerry smartphone hasn’t contacted your BlackBerry Enterprise Server for a specified number of days
- your BlackBerry smartphone is connected to an untrusted mobile network
- a foreign sim card is inserted in your BlackBerry smartphone
- your BlackBerry smartphone receives a wipe command via an sms message from a pre-defined authorized number
- your BlackBerry receives a wipe command via e-mail from a pre-defined e‑mail address
- your BlackBerry smartphone receives a ‘Where am I’ command via an sms message from an authorized number
- custom development of triggers and consequent behaviour is possible
BlackOut events
These rules trigger your BlackBerry smartphone to wipe itself and send an additional SMS or e‑mail message to a pre-defined number or e‑mail address. This message will carry information about GPS location, mobile service provider and telephone number (if possible).
feature list
- ‘stealth mode’ application runs in the background on the end-users handheld and monitors for any undesired events
- no end-user operations need to run
- soft- and hard wipe actions are available.
- A soft wipe will only remove data from your handheld.
