BlackBerry LIVE Interviews Experts on Mobility and UEM Part 3

/in


It’s a common — and seemingly benign — business situation today:

CFO: “Hey, boss. The latest draft of the financial report for this quarter is ready for you to review.”

CEO: “Great, send it over. I’m on my way to the airport, but I’ll look it over on my phone.”

This innocent, everyday exchange could have serious ramifications for an organization. And most of us are blissfully unaware of the risk.

BlackBerry VP of Global Sales Engineering, Alex Willis, says this is because we don’t see a lot of big data breach headlines related to mobile devices. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t happening all around us, every day. “If credentials are stolen off a phone and then used elsewhere, the report gets tagged to the ‘elsewhere,’ not the phone.”

This failure to recognize or record the source of an attack leads organizations to believe that damaging cyberattacks and breaches do not occur on or through mobile devices, Willis says. “The reality is, that’s not true.” But the perception that our phones are secure creates gaps in many organizations’ cybersecurity defenses, and exposes their valuable data, according to Willis.

In Part 3 of my BlackBerry LIVE interview, I’m speaking with both Willis and Senior Director of Solutions Marketing Baldeep Dogra. Together, we explore the technological aspects of mobile security, including VPN, 2FA, zero trust, and how organizations use BlackBerry® Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) to complement Microsoft® Intune® to fill in security gaps.

The Australian government said on Thursday it would spend more than A$1bn (US$680mn) on advanced missile defences, including the US-made Himars system that has proved successful in defending Ukraine from Russian invasion.

The Himars package, which includes launchers, missiles and training rockets, will provide the Australian army with a “significant capability boost”, said Richard Marles, the country’s defence minister.

CEA, an Australian company, will provide a radar system to be integrated with the Himars launchers, he added.

The US state department said in May that it had approved the sale of Lockheed Martin’s M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launchers and related equipment for an estimated US$385mn.

The system is expected to be deployed in Australia in 2026-2027.

“In the current strategic environment, it’s important the Australian Defence Force is equipped with high-end, targeted military capabilities,” Marles said.

The Himars announcement comes a day after Canberra signed a deal with Norwegian group Kongsberg to supply naval missiles for Australian destroyers and frigates from 2024.

Australia in recent years has taken a more high-profile defence posture, with the previous conservative government increasing military spending and signing a trilateral security pact with the US and UK in 2021.

Last month, US defence secretary Lloyd Austin said after a meeting with Marles that Washington would “deepen our defence co-operation” with Canberra.

Austin said the US plans to deploy more fighters, bombers and other assets in Australia in the face of “dangerous and coercive” Chinese actions in the Indo-Pacific region.
