ESTABLISHED AS A CYBER SECURITY COMPANY
BlackBerry, originally known as Research In Motion (RIM), was founded in 1984 as a software company in Canada that provides services in cybersecurity.
Founded by Greek-born Mike Laziridis and Douglas Fregin, the company developed interactive pagers, smartphones and tablets under the BlackBerry brand.
WAS AMONG BRANDS WHICH WAS SEARCHED FOR A PERIOD
BlackBerry products, which were launched in the early 2000s as Canada’s smart phones, were among the sought-after brands for a while with the effective software they developed against hacking.
The company, which was withdrawn from the smartphone market in 2012 due to financial problems, still operates in the field of technological software and operating systems.
