BlackBerry 10 Gets DoD Nod For ‘Full Operational Capability’

By TechTaffy Desk

BlackBerry

BlackBerry 10 has received full operational capability (FOC) to run on U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) networks from the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The designation follows the company’s authority to operate (ATO) certification, and enables government users with a BlackBerry 10 smartphone connected with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (BES10) to access email, data, apps and other DoD network resources.

BlackBerry is the first Mobile Device Management (MDM) provider to earn ATO and becomes the only vendor with FOC, says the company. The granting of FOC completes BlackBerry’s security certification process with the DoD.
