Direct 
BlackBerry 10
 work space traffic through 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 when a 
Wi-Fi
 network is available

If you use 
BlackBerry UEM
 to configure a 
Wi-Fi
 profile and assign it to 
BlackBerry 10
 devices, the devices prioritize the work 
Wi-Fi
 network above 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
. If the work 
Wi-Fi
 network is not available, and devices are not assigned a VPN profile or cannot access the VPN, devices use 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
. You have the option of directing all work space traffic through 
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 even when devices can access the work 
Wi-Fi
 network. You may choose to use this option if your organization’s security standards prevent device connections to work resources over the 
Wi-Fi
 network.
Enabling this feature directs all work space traffic that would typically use the work 
Wi-Fi
 network through a secure connection to the 
BlackBerry Infrastructure
. This feature may have an impact on your organization’s data usage and network costs. Verify that this is your organization’s preferred configuration before you enable this feature.
In on premises environments, verify that the "Force network access control for work apps" IT policy rule is not selected in the IT policy that is assigned to 
BlackBerry 10
 device users.
