Messaging applications are becoming more essential for business continuity in remote work environments. Part of it is because it enables near real-time communications with colleagues, and part of is simply an affinity towards messaging apps because of their prevalence in personal communications. The question is, how do you do it right in the business world – particularly the security aspect?
BlackBerry Limited and LeapXpert announced a collaboration that will enable the use of the BlackBerry Dynamics platform with messaging applications.
Integrating LeapXpert into the BlackBerry Dynamics platform will provide customers with secure communication through messaging applications such as WhatsApp, iMessage and SMS to ensure employee-customer interactions are encrypted and captured. Additionally, the integration will provide customers with secure storage for sensitive information and data leakage protection.
"BlackBerry has always prioritized secure end-to-end encryption of communication channels since our start, so it's a pleasure to partner with LeapXpert to provide BlackBerry Dynamics' customers with privacy and protection of their data through the world's most popular messaging apps, helping them maintain compliance," said Alex Willis, vice president, sales engineering and ISV's at BlackBerry.
LeapXpert uses APIs with a modern, intuitive mobile and desktop user interface to allow secure communication with customers and external parties. The integration will deliver increased security and control that regulated industries such as the financial sector need when communicating with their clients to maintain compliance.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with BlackBerry around this strategic integration," said Avi Pardo, co-founder and chief operating officer of LeapXpert. "Our platform will be available directly through BlackBerry channels and by dedicating our efforts to secure business communication and providing enhanced protection against data leakage and cyber threats, we are inherently enhancing trust among customers."
The collaboration will drive greater business communication while retaining a strong security and governance posture.
