If you're looking to learn more about BES10 and how Secure Work Space works across BlackBerry, Android and iOS then you'll want to set aside some time on July 30th. BlackBerry is hosting a BES10 Secure Work Space webinar that day from 11:00AM to 12:00PM EST.
With BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 Secure Work Space for iOS and Android, the convenience, strength and efficiency of the trusted BlackBerry security model has been made available to iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. BlackBerry delivers comprehensive multiplatform device management for BlackBerry, iOS and Android devices through BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.
Secure Work Space easily and cost effectively extends these capabilities by adding containerization, application-wrapping and secure connectivity for iOS and Android devices. Principal Analyst Brian Bernard continues his discussion about BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 Secure Work Space, moving more deeply into the mechanics of how the product works and how you can manage it. The topics that will be covered include:
- Current Secure Work Space software releases
- Understanding the Work Connect application
- Notifications for various application events
- Secure Work Space controls and settings
- Wrapping applications for use in Secure Work Space
The event is clearly targeted for those working with BES10 but anybody can tune in if you're just looking to learn more. You can head on over to the registration page to get yourself signed up and if you can't attend, then hopefully BlackBerry will post a replay for everyone. If they do, we'll let you know.
