BlackBerry Expands SecuSUITE to Windows for Sovereign-Grade Security
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
BlackBerry adds Windows support to SecuSUITE, enhancing secure voice, messaging and file sharing.
The update extends sovereign-grade protection to laptops and workstations for seamless, secure workflows.
Available in November 2025, the expansion offers flexible deployment and full-data sovereignty control.
BlackBerry Limited (BB - Free Report) announced the expansion of BlackBerry SecuSUITE to include Windows laptops and workstations, extending its sovereign-grade secure communications platform trusted by governments and critical enterprises worldwide. This enhancement brings secure voice, messaging and file sharing to desktop and laptop environments, ensuring consistent, end-to-end protection across all devices.
As part of BlackBerry Secure Communications, SecuSUITE provides comprehensive protection for voice, messaging, file sharing and crisis coordination, offering organizations full sovereign control over deployment and data management.
The Windows expansion, BlackBerry SecuSUITE for Windows Desktop, will be generally available in November 2025.
What Does This Expansion Offer?
The expansion enables users to collaborate securely from whichever device best fits their workflow, whether working on the move, at a primary workstation, or from a laptop. They can review documents on larger screens, compose messages with a keyboard or coordinate verbally in the field, with all forms of communication integrated seamlessly to support continuous, protected workflows. SecuSUITE’s design keeps operations simple while ensuring that every interaction remains shielded from threats.
For organizations, the addition of Windows devices extends SecuSUITE’s independently certified architecture across more endpoints, maintaining secure communications as teams move between networks and devices. The solution safeguards against eavesdropping, identity spoofing and metadata exploitation, while offering flexible deployment options on-premises, private cloud or hosted, so that agencies and enterprises retain full sovereignty and control over their data.
Management stated that by expanding SecuSUITE to Windows devices, they are providing users with the same sovereign-grade protection they rely on during mobile operations, now extended to their primary workstations and laptops. This ensures critical communications remain secure and fluid, naturally fitting into everyday workflows without adding complexity.
BlackBerry’s Secure Communications business remains strong, with revenues reaching $59.9 million in second-quarter fiscal 2026, above guidance. The stronger-than-anticipated results were led by lower-than-expected customer churn in UEM, along with better performance from both ad hoc services and SecuSUITE.
After offloading Cylance, the company is placing greater emphasis on Secure Communications, supported by a stronger financial position. It continued its design win trajectory for AtHoc and UEM during the quarter. Annual recurring revenues rose by $4 million to $213 million, and the net retention rate was 93%. This solid performance was mainly driven by strong Secusmart sales, particularly a five-year agreement with a major government agency for hosted secure voice services. The hosted service marks a new recurring revenue model for BlackBerry, which, alongside more software-only sales, can help make SecuSUITE’s revenue stream more stable and predictable. The global pipeline is growing, especially in defense, as governments seek more secure alternatives to consumer-grade platforms. Despite longer sales cycles, BlackBerry remains confident in closing more Secusmart deals this year.
For fiscal third-quarter 2026, the company anticipates revenues to be between $132 million and $140 million, with QNX revenues of $66-$70 million, Secure Communications revenues of $60-$64 million and Licensing revenues of approximately $6 million. Adjusted EBITDA is projected at $13-$17 million for QNX, $12-$16 million for Secure Communications and about $5 million for Licensing. Non-GAAP EPS is expected in the range of $2-$4.
