Secure Enterprise
File Sync, Sharing and
Content Collaboration

BlackBerry Workspaces™ makes enterprises more mobile and collaborative, while


reducing the risk, complexity and cost of sharing information across and beyond
your organization. Workspaces provides file-level encryption and user access
controls, so your maintain control over your content even after it leaves your
firewall. Workspaces also embeds digital rights management (DRM) protection in
your files, so you can control what the recipient is able to do with the file once they
gain access to it.

Workspaces provides file security while increasing the productivity of your


organization. Users are able to view, edit, comment and collaborate on files on all
major device platforms. Our deep integration with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft
Office, Office 365 and OneDrive means that your employees can continue to use
their existing apps and workflows while seamlessly integrating Workspaces file
secure sharing.

Workspaces allows your employees to work more effectively and safely with
outside contributors. This is critical in a world where core business operations
are being outsourced and vendor, partner and customer ecosystems are growing
rapidly. Workspaces flexible security policy model allows you to create secure
collaborative workspaces, control access and assign file permissions at the user,
group and domain level. You can extend your security perimeter outside your
firewall and collaborate with outside users without risk of losing control of core IP
or exposing sensitive information such as personnel records or product designs.

Only Workspaces delivers the features users want and the control that IT needs.

mobile (iOS, Android™, BlackBerry® 10), and desktop (Windows®, Mac®).

external), anywhere, on any device, without losing visibility or control.

Protect, Externalize and Track


Files and File Usage
The Functionality IT Needs

File-Level Security and Enforcement: Keep sensitive files encrypted and


controlled - at rest, in transit and on the device - reducing the risk of a breach
or loss of intellectual property. Apply dynamic watermarks or use the spotlight
feature to deter screenshots and increase accountability. Track, revoke, wipe
or expire file access at any time - even after the document has left your security
perimeter.

2
Authentication and Encryption: Enforce enterprise-level security policies including
mobile passcode, jailbreak detection, remote document control, always-on AES-
256 encryption (in transit, at rest, and in use) and advanced key management
(optional HSM).

Easy-to-Use DRM Controls: Restrict what users and recipients can do with a file.
Easily set and manage users’ permissions to download, edit, copy, print and share
Microsoft Office, PDF and image files.

Visibility and Reporting: Workspaces tracks all file activity so you know WHO, did
WHAT, WHEN and WHERE they did it and WHAT DEVICE they used. This data is
archived within Workspaces and can be used to monitor intrusions in real-time or
to provide compliance reporting on demand.

Flexible Deployment Options: Choose to deploy BlackBerry Workspaces in the


cloud, on-premises or as a hybrid solution.

Integration and Secure Access: Workspaces provides connectors for Microsoft


content repositories (SharePoint, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business) and
Windows Files Shares (CIFS) as well as many CMIS-compliant data stores such
as iManage, Dropbox, Alfresco, IBM FileNet and many others.This allows you
to mobilize, externalize and share documents from your existing repositories
securely and within your existing infrastructure. There’s no need to migrate your
files to the cloud or onto someone else’s servers.

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for Public Cloud: Full ability to control the key used to
encrypt the data and full control over who accesses these files.

Integration with BlackBerry Dynamics: BlackBerry® Dynamics™ and BlackBerry®


Workspaces provide a unified, seamless user experience. From the Dynamics
Work app, users can:

Browse the Workspaces secure file repository



Select and open files stored in the Workspaces


Save files and email attachments into Workspaces

Ransomware Recovery: Workspaces provides a method for quickly responding


to and recovering from Ransomware attacks. Unlike other EFSS solutions,
Workspaces helps to contain and limit the damage of Ransomware attacks by
freezing the accounts of affected users. It puts tools in the hands of the system
administrator that enables them to quickly recover and repair the damage from an
attack. Workspaces is the only solution that provides fine-grained controls that
allow the administrator to selectively target and address infected files without
impacting clean files.
