Sentegrity for BlackBerry
Sentegrity is an advanced mobile authenticator that combines high-security data protection with a simple user experience. Sentegrity equips BlackBerry Enterprise (previously Good Technology) applications with industry-leading behavioral authentication that profiles user and device risk at the moment of access, all without making any changes to your existing apps.
With real-time risk insights and Sentegrity's machine learning, the protected apps can change their security to match risks and enforce enterprise policies. Users will enjoy faster, passwordless access in trusted conditions while the enterprise gains greater visibility into risks of the mobile ecosystem through TrustScores.
Sentegrity understands that privacy is an important part of the user experience, reducing the enterprise attack surface. Raw user or device data is never processed, never stored, and never shared. Local device operation ensures that mobile endpoints are protected anywhere, anytime — with or without network connectivity.
The project has reached the end of life.
