"BlackBerry has announced\u00A0that\u00A0the\u00A0first part of its eBBM product suite revealed\u00A0earlier in the year is BBM Protected,\u00A0which brings enhanced security for enterprise BBM customers.\r\n\r\nAvailable from today, BBM Protected adds an extra layer of encryption\u00A0onto messages sent across\u00A0the platform. BlackBerry noted that while BBM Protected is only for enterprise users, the extra-secure chats aren't limited to people within your own organization,\u00A0so\u00A0you can chat with BBM Protected users at other companies too.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBusiness users\u00A0with BlackBerry OS devices running BlackBerry Device Software 6.0 or newer on BES 5 and\u00A0some customers with BlackBerry 10 smartphones with gold licenses on BES10 can start using the new feature from today.\r\n\r\nWhile the new feature isn't applicable to a consumer market, it's important for BlackBerry to focus on its enterprise expertise in a bid to win back old users that have switched to other platforms, as well as potentially all-new users that\u00A0aren't convinced by rivals' enterprise credentials, if it wants to stay in the game at all.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 BBM Protected\r\n\r\nFeatured Image Credit - Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
