BlackBerry has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire WatchDox Ltd. to enhance BlackBerry’s mobile security and give enterprises more control over their files even after data leaves the corporate network. WatchDox’s technology will be offered as a service that complements BlackBerry’s Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) portfolio, and will be available with BES12, a multi-OS EMM solution.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

WatchDox is a data security company offering secure enterprise file-sync-and-share (EFSS) solutions that allow users to protect, share and work with their files on any device. WatchDox security travels with shared files on both mobile and desktop devices to give organizations full visibility and control over how files are edited, copied, printed or forwarded. The solution also allows end users to revoke access or delete files remotely, enables secure mobile productivity for repositories both in the cloud and on premises, and gives administrators the ability to lock or remove access to files compromised in a data breach.

The addition of WatchDox will allow BlackBerry offer organizations the option to securely connect employees with each other and with corporate information across all mobile and desktop platforms.

The acquisition of WatchDox will form the basis of a new security-focused BlackBerry R&D center in Israel. BlackBerry’s acquisition of WatchDox follows last year’s purchase of Secusmart, a leader in high-security voice and data encryption.
