You wouldn’t put money in a bank that didn’t lock its safe. Or leave the doors of your home unlocked at night. Having a smartphone that doesn’t take your privacy seriously is the equivalent. DTEK50™ ensures that how you share the private details of your life—your location, your pictures, your texts—is your decision. Not all smartphones are equally secure. With DTEK50, you have built in armour protecting your personal information.

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 DTEK50, you don’t have to worry about this happening to you.
Security can seem complicated, but DTEK50 makes it simple for you. DTEK™ by BlackBerry® for Android™ 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.

DTEK also tracks your applications and notifies you when someone is:
BlackBerry lives and breathes security and has taken extra steps to help protect you from malware, data breaches and any attempts to hack and tamper with your OS. DTEK50 is packed with lots of other security features:

So even though you can’t see it, know that extra precautions are taken at both the hardware and software level to protect DTEK50 from malicious tampering.

When it comes to security, Android smartphones from BlackBerry are ahead of all other Android smartphones. Security isn’t something that’s tacked on, it’s fully integrated into the BlackBerry device hardware and OS. BlackBerry sets the bar in incident response and patch management, and brings world-renowned security experts and testing to DTEK50. When it comes to protecting business-critical data and personal privacy BlackBerry will keep you safe and secure.
Security was built into DTEK50 from the start, rather than layering on defenses after production. Its manufacturing process establishes a hardware root of trust, a proprietary technique that adds security keys to the processor on DTEK50 as it is built. Those keys are then used to track, verify, and provision each DTEK50, meaning that the authenticity and integrity of your device is guaranteed, as is the safety of the data it holds.
When a user boots up their device, it’s important that they’re able to trust that only a BlackBerry signed OS can be loaded and it hasn’t been tampered with since the last restart. That’s where DTEK50 secure boot process comes in. Starting with the hardware Root of Trust, each stage of the secure boot chain must first verify that the next component is fully intact before proceeding.
