BlackBerry has launched a new tablet. This is not another PlayBookIts only tablet launched until now, but about SecuTablet. This is the result of a partnership with the Canadian company Samsung si IBMBeing for companies that put great emphasis on data security. Although hardware brings nothing really new, the device is simply a Galaxy Tab S 10.5The chapter development, BlackBerry integrated its own software for the security of important information, made by its new division Secusmart, With software developed by IBM.

The first hint that demonstrates that SecuTablet it is not for ordinary users, it is precisely the prohibitive price. At $2.380, this tablet may be the most expensive tablet out there Samsung produced it until now. Superficially, the cost difference between a Galaxy Tab S common and SecuTablet is software preinstalled by BlackBerry. The data is encrypted, and access to it can be achieved either through the user's voiceprint or through a proprietary device called Secusmart Security Card.

Of course tablet still offers the same functionality common, along with advanced security capabilities. All normal applications Android they can be installed, and those who use them do not have to worry. They run in a separate sandbox, which does not affect the protected data. This is possible thanks to a software made by IBMWhich differentiates their personal applications and information important ones. Such functions are clearly oriented corporate environment where leaks could have negative effects for companies.
