BlackBerry Samsung attacks and lack of security in the devices ... - Digital Look

BlackBerry is having a great day and their investors are more than happy with the 10% jump that actions had on Tuesday, 21. The approval of devices for use by the U.S. Department of Defense helped the company’s business, which took the opportunity to gloat over rival Samsung.

Canadian admits that her image with the consumer is not the best, so I decided to turn their efforts to the corporate market, which still has the reputation of producing the most reliable software in the market. The same space is contested by Samsung with the Knox system that provides an extra layer of protection for the top of the line appliances (Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, for example).

The charges released by the company in its official blog remember serious security flaws found by Israeli security researchers precisely at Knox. Samsung says the problem is with Android, but that does not exonerate it to BlackBerry.

“Samsung released a statement saying that the vulnerability was Android, but it just shows the challenge Samsung is to continue developing the Knox to survive in a hostile environment, “says the post.

Then John Sims, president of global corporate services, who signs the post brags of how the service by BlackBerry is ideal for businesses and governments who can not afford to allow the leakage of sensitive data and how the tools offered by it are the ones to receive the seal of approval from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Another question raised is how Knox is limited to a few handsets from Samsung, limiting the application of the trend of BYOD (“bring your own device” in English). “There are a significant number of corporations where BYOD is the future. Knox has no flexibility to BYOD.”
