BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones have been approved by NATO for classified communications up to the level of ‘Restricted’. The certification allows agencies in NATO countries in all 28 member states across North America and Europe to use BlackBerry 10 smartphones in the office or in the field.

Since launching earlier this year, more than 25,000 BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 commercial and test servers have been installed globally, according to the company.

BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 integrates end-to-end security, and uses AES 256-bit encryption level, for data at rest and data in transit.
