Decrypt BBM is nothing new

Johannesburg, 07 Sep 2011

For several years, Retain for BES (a product from GWAVA) offered a solution to BlackBerry owners to recover PIN, SMS and call information from their devices.

If your organisation uses BlackBerry smartphones, your employees are probably taking advantage of its PIN, SMS and Messenger text messaging features. If you've banned text messages because you can't track them, you're taking away a critical form of communication that your employees are probably using anyway.

Text messages can be as critical as e-mail to your organisation for instant communication. But without the means to store and track these messages, you have no way of knowing what confidential or sensitive information has been sent through texts.

For years, Retain from GWAVA has been successfully archiving e-mails, making sure they are safely stored and accessible for discovery. Retain for BlackBerry offers the same advantages for BlackBerry text messages and phone usage data. Retain for BlackBerry securely archives every text and Messenger message and all phone call usage. Retain runs on your existing hardware. You don't need to install anything on the users' phones and the text data can be integrated directly into your e-mail archiving repository. Retain is easy to support and maintain.

Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server:

* Meets regulatory compliance standards (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, etc)
* Provides an essential component of a complete disaster leak prevention strategy
* Monitors BlackBerry smartphone usage to ensure compliance with corporate policies

Any time there is even a question of impropriety, a need to conduct litigation data holds or hedge human resource issues, Retain makes it fast and easy to verify, and if necessary, take care of potential problems quickly. In the event of litigation or a compliance audit, you can be assured that 100% of your messages are stored. All of this information is contained in your network environment, making certain that privacy and security requirements are maintained.

In addition, Retain offers powerful audit and administration features that let you specify which smartphone users you want to audit. Access to sensitive accounts can be limited to key personnel with appropriate security clearance. Of course, all audit activities are logged and included in a detailed audit trail.

Retain integrates with Zantaz, Assentor, EVault and any e-mail archiving solution that supports SMTP. Retain converts each text message into an individual piece of e-mail, so all of your archived data can be stored in a single repository.
