As more hacks and cybersecurity threats make the headlines , security has become a pressing concern for any firm . It ’ s a top priority for BlackBerry too . Sandhu describes the firm as one which “ lives and breathes security ”, proven by the fact it works closely with famously secure organizations like the G7 governments , NATO , and some of the world ’ s largest banks and medical institutions . On top of this , BlackBerry also uses its own technologies and products , ensuring its internal security is of the highest caliber . “ We can ' t have a single conversation at BlackBerry without the word ‘ security ’ coming up ,” she observes . “ We live and breathe security so that the end user and the enterprise doesn ' t have to worry about it . Our security expertise has been built into our platform since day one . It ’ s been built into every layer of our solutions , from the kernel to the edge , and so I ’ d say security is definitely one of our key competitive tenets .”
