Not all Smartphones are Equally Secure

Your smartphone is an extension of your life and the people you share it with. Pictures of your kids. Where you live and work. The things you do together. These are very private details that should be kept safe. With an NFC “bump”, bank info can be stolen. With malware, family pictures can be downloaded. It’s scary, but this does happen on other phones. With the DTEK series of Android smartphones, you don’t have to worry about this happening to you.

DTEK by BlackBerry App

Security can seem complicated, but DTEK series smartphones make it simple for you. The DTEK™ by BlackBerry® for Android™ app will automatically monitor your OS and apps and let you know when your privacy could be at risk and how you can take action to improve it. With just a quick glimpse you can see the overall security rating for your device—excellent, fair or poor—and what you can do to improve it. DTEK also tracks your applications and notifies you when someone is: • Taking pictures or videos without your knowledge • Turning your microphone on • Sending a text message • Accessing your contacts or location

Fingerprint Sensor on DTEK60

The BlackBerry Finger Print Sensor provides added security for unlocking your phone, accessing Password Keeper and making purchases – including with Android Pay™ payment service.

Updating the Security of Your Device - Long After You Purchase it

Many popular smartphones put the user’s private information at risk of being hacked due to slow security updates. BlackBerry has a record of being the quickest to deliver security patches. Other smartphones can take weeks, months or even years to deliver security patches, leaving you vulnerable and at risk. So even though you can’t see it, know that extra precautions are taken at both the hardware and software level to protect the DTEK series from malicious tampering.
