Consequently, companies all over the world are trying to centralize all administration and security of the cloud-centric endpoints such as Chromebooks, smartphones, and tablets. BlackBerry’s UEM enables IT managers to perform various tasks such as remote wipe, password enforcement, auto-updates, and connection settings for Chrome OS-powered devices and the Chrome browser.
The UEM solution, along with Google, will keep employees connected and secure so that they can work from virtually any device, anywhere. This also enables users to work on their preferred technology, without compromising enterprise security.
Customer trials for Chrome OS Management with BlackBerry UEM are now underway, and it will be available globally in July 2022. The integration is also expected to boost BlackBerry UEM’s Serviceable Available Market or “SAM.”

provides
the Internet of Things with complete endpoint management as well as an integrated view of devices, and apps across multiple platforms like iOS and Chrome OS.

Zacks Names “Single Best Pick to Double”
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
