Protecting the BlackBerry Device Platform Against Malware: BlackBerry Enterprise Server Version 4.0 and Later

Overview Java based BlackBerry devices are designed to provide an open platform for third-party wireless enterprise application development. Using BlackBerry MDS Studio and the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE), the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution enables software developers to create third-party applications for BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry device supports MIDlets (Java applications that use standard MIDP and CLDC APIs only) and Java applications that use the BlackBerry APIs. This paper describes the third-party application control features of the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides an overview of how one might use those features and place the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution within the network architecture to contain the threat of malware on the BlackBerry devices and the corporate network.
