Research in Motion
While browsing and reading some articles in the news I just found a nice footnote at an article of IDG Norway.

Research in Motion* RIM’s BlackBerry operating system gets the highest marks from enterprise users for its security features, as 41.2% of users surveyed say they most closely associate it with having strong security. Similarly, more users associate the BlackBerry with having the best ease of use (38.6%) and the lowest IT help desk support (36.8%) than any other platforms. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform, meanwhile, gets the highest markets for having the best application compatibility (58.8%) and for having the largest available device selection (48.2%).

* Nearly half (45.6%) of all IT decision makers surveyed think that Verizon Wireless offers the best mobile enterprise data plans, followed by AT&T Wireless (32.5%) and Sprint Nextel (14%).

We know the BlackBerry’s main advantage - compared to competitors - is the security architecture. Not only the BlackBerry’s device security, but especially the BlackBerry Enterprise Server’s security and integration architecture. There are a bunch of articles on the Internet about mobile security guide lines which discuss those manners quite detailed. However, if we take a look to the BlackBerry enterprise market most companies protect their BlackBerry fleet with a company IT policy. (It is still possible to remove the IT policy of your BlackBerry ;) - please be reminded that this might be an offense in your country of residence)

Even if you are not an enterprise user (like we at BlackBerryInsight) you should take care of the data you load onto your BlackBerry. What a coincidence that we have the right article on this for you: How to secure your BlackBerry.
