Security if you don't use BES, BIS or BBM? Really better than other platforms?
I am a happy owner of a Q10, a smartphone with a qwerty keyboard, one of the main reasons I bought it. I don't use BBM or BES.
Another reason of people buying a Blackberry seems to be security.
But how much better in security is a BlackBerry if you don't use BES of BBM?
I tried to find info on security options on iOS and Android and found the same security options on those platforms:
Password protect?
iOS: fingerprint scanner + pin passcode
Android: fingerprint scanner + pin passcode
Remotely lock or wipe a device?
Android: Device Manager
iOS: 'Find My iPhone'
Encrypt data on phone
iOS:Every iOS device has a dedicated AES 256-bit crypto engine built in that is used to encrypt all data on the device at all times.
Android:
Android includes a system encryption feature that encrypts all data � including application data, downloaded files, and everything else � on your phone or tablet. You�ll have to enter your PIN or password each time you turn on your phone
Encrypt data on SD card
Android:
'Step 1: Open the Settings on your Android phone and navigate to the Security section. ( This might differ on different handsets )
Step 2: Tap on Encrypt external SD card to start the process for encrypting your phone�s SD card.'
Auto wipe phone:
iOS: Auto Erase is the one of the useful feature in iOS devices, which helps you to Auto Erase your iPhone data after 10 failed passcode attempts.
Android:
'Use a security app, such as Cerberus, that will wipe your phone after a number of failed unlock attempts.'
So� how can I convince other people of the strength of BlackBerry security if they don't use BES or BBM? Android or iOS seem to offer the same...
