BlackBerry (BB) stock surged 5.11% in intraday trading, following a significant announcement in the cybersecurity sector. The company revealed that its Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution has become the first mobile device management vendor to receive certification from Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
This prestigious certification, with ID BSI-DSZ-CC-1235-2025, allows BlackBerry UEM to manage Apple iOS and Samsung Knox devices in German government environments. The approval confirms BlackBerry's conformance with Common Criteria's high-assurance requirements for Trusted MDM and Trusted Communication Channel, positioning the company as a leader in secure mobile communications for government and critical infrastructure agencies.
Nathan Jenniges, Senior Vice President and General Manager of BlackBerry Secure Communications, emphasized the importance of this achievement, stating, "With BlackBerry UEM becoming the first MDM solution to achieve the BSI certification, German government entities and Critical National Infrastructure organizations can confidently support mobile device choice for their users while maintaining full compliance and adhering to the highest standards of confidentiality." This certification expands on earlier BSI clearance for BlackBerry SecuSUITE secure communications, further solidifying the company's position in the cybersecurity market and potentially opening up new revenue streams in the government sector.
