WATERLOO, Ontario, May 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced availability of
BlackBerry Spark® Suites, offering enterprises a range of tailored
cybersecurity and endpoint management options to help protect data,
minimize risk, and reduce cost and complexity.
BlackBerry Spark Suites combine the best endpoint security and
management capabilities. The suites are powered by artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and automation for
improved cyber threat prevention and remediation from BlackBerry
Cylance, plus seamless endpoint management, user authentication,
and application and data encryption from BlackBerry® UEM. The new
suites improve user productivity and layered security defenses,
while simplifying purchasing decisions for enterprise customers who
are undergoing digital transformation and shift to remote work.
"2020 is a pivotal year for organizations trying to maintain
business continuity, while undergoing digital transformation and
workplace upheaval. With the increased volume and variety of
enterprise IoT endpoints and as the scale of cyber threats
continues to grow, BlackBerry Spark Suites provide a consolidated,
simplified endpoint security and management offering to reduce cost
and complexity in a chaotic environment," said John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO of
BlackBerry. "We are excited to deliver the proven performance of
BlackBerry's AI-powered, zero-trust platform to customers
worldwide."
The company also announced that payments leader BPAY
Group has deployed BlackBerry Spark UES Suite - one of the
four new BlackBerry Spark bundles – to help protect and prevent
cyberattacks on its endpoints.
"As a leading payments provider, BPAY Group must ensure complete
trust in our operations, service delivery and especially, our data
integrity," said Angela Donohoe, CIO
of BPAY Group. "BlackBerry's AI and ML engine, with its proven
ability to prevent, detect and respond to sophisticated threats,
was a major consideration in our decision to deploy the BlackBerry
Spark UES Suite."
BlackBerry's unified offering is in-line with the convergence of
mobile threat detection (MTD), endpoint detection and response
(EDR) and endpoint protection platform (EPP) tools. Gartner has
dubbed this combined infrastructure stack "unified endpoint
security." Organizations should invest with this convergence in
mind.1
"I expect a unified endpoint security solution like BlackBerry
Spark Suites to become the dominant endpoint security model within
the next 2-3 years," said Jack Gold,
president and principal analyst, J. Gold Associates.
"Enterprises should be planning now to move towards this unified
endpoint security model for increased security, better TCO, and
improved user experience."
BlackBerry Spark Suites are available now. The four suites that
make up BlackBerry Spark Suites are BlackBerry Spark® UEM Express
Suite, BlackBerry Spark® UEM Suite, BlackBerry Spark® UES Suite and
BlackBerry Spark® Suite.
