Media: Celebrity Hacking Leak Reinforces BlackBerry’s Security Leadership

[Anonymous]

As the iCloud hacking story continues to unfold, experts are finding it hard to talk about strong mobile security without bringing the corporate embodiment of it into the discussion.

“One tech name popping back on the radar is BlackBerry, which still has one of the best enterprise security systems out there,” stated Fox Business anchor, Liz Claman.

“BlackBerry is the anti-Apple,” declared CNNMoney’s Paul R. LaMonica. “BlackBerry is widely acknowledged by many tech experts to have one of the most secure mobile platforms…now that Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities are dealing with the PR nightmare of their nude photos circulating around the Internet due to a hack of their iCloud accounts, it’s possible that the company could win new customers … or, at the very least, regain some of the ones it has lost.”

"One thing’s for sure – people are now thinking about mobile security more than they were last week.

If you want mobile security, you want BlackBerry."

I'm not really sure what value this advertising post by BlackBerry has as they don't provide a Cloud storage solution! But it just shows that this has put mobile security back in the media spotlight in the US, and everyone knows that Blackberry is the most secure mobile OS and hardware manufacturer

Of course, but you can encrypt the data on the SD card at phone level, so even if stolen it would be inaccessible.
Remote wipe is also an option....
