If a BlackBerry smartphone device is lost, the system administrator can easily delete all files that have been downloaded using SilverDust and prevent further access from that smartphone.
Provisioning
SilverDust Portals are provisioned to a user's device remotely using a server-side push, allowing the system administrator to easily decide who should have access to Sites, Document Libraries, and Lists and what each user should see.
