RIM has announced a new security application called BlackBerry Protect. The new app allows users who are not attached to a BlackBerry Enterprise server to wirelessly backup, restore, and locate their BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Protect allows you the ability to wirelessly backup, restore and locate your BlackBerry® smartphone. In the event that your BlackBerry smartphone is misplaced, lost or stolen, BlackBerry Protect provides features like: remote device wipe, remote device lock, ‘Lost and Found’ screen, locate device on a map, remote activation of the BlackBerry smartphone loud ringer, and wireless device backup and restore.
BlackBerry Protect is still in limited beta, but will be launching in the BlackBerry Beta Zone later this week via invite codes. If you don't have an invite code but are a member of the Beta Zone you'll be able to try the app later this year when it reaches full public beta.
