Research in Motion (RIM) have this morning announced its new PlayBook tablet has received certification for use by the Australian Government.
The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) have approved the PlayBook for use by Australian Governmental agencies, although agency staff must follow strict guidelines set out by the DSD.
Today’s certification means Government agencies can now use the tablet with data classified up to the restricted or protected levels — a first for any tablet device available in Australia, according to RIM.
“We will continue to work with government departments and organisations locally and internationally to ensure that employees can access and share information with ease and in the knowledge that their information is protected at the highest level,” Scott Deacon, Manager Security Certifications at Asia Pacific BlackBerry Security said in a statement this morning.
“This again demonstrates our leadership in the government sector and our commitment and investment in secure mobile technology.”
