Hamish Davidson, president and CEO of ProviDyn®, an Atlanta-based BlackBerry partner, said that while BBM has some impressive security features, mobile security concerns could be higher, particularly among the SMBs that may not want to prioritize expensive security service subscriptions.
"There's definitely value in BBM's new features – there's so many people passing data over their phones and having a secure way to do that is part of an overall security-based strategy," he said. "We've preached the value of mobile device management and secure messaging, but we've found that customers will be ready to take the investment in mobile security only as more types of major breaches become more prevalent."
