BlackBerry Joins National Cyber Security Alliance as Board Member

BlackBerry joined the National Cyber Security Alliance as a board member, the group said in a Wednesday announcement. The alliance described itself as a nonprofit public-private partnership focused on helping “digital citizens stay safer and more secure online.” Consumers and businesses “increasingly rely on mobile technology, but they may not fully understand the security and privacy considerations that come with untethered, unlimited access to information," the alliance said. BlackBerry brings a “unique perspective” to the alliance, it said. Other tech companies that sit on the alliance board include AT&T, Comcast, Facebook, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Symantec and Verizon, it said.
