BlackBerry Protect and Optics provided 100% prevention, 100%
detection and zero false positives
WATERLOO, ONTARIO,
Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:
BB; TSX: BB) today announced the results from SE Labs' Breach
Response test on BlackBerry® Protect and BlackBerry® Optics, its
AI-driven endpoint protection (EPP) and endpoint detection and
response (EDR) products. The combined EPP and EDR solution was able
to provide complete prevention, complete detection, and zero false
positive results, earning SE Lab's maximum AAA rating for its
excellent performance.
SE Labs subjected BlackBerry Protect and BlackBerry Optics to a
range of hacking real-world attacks designed to compromise systems
and penetrate target networks. They used the same techniques cyber
criminals and other threat attackers use to breach systems and
networks in the real world.
According to SE Labs report, "Breach Response Test Protection
Mode: BlackBerry Protect and Optics," the products detected and
protected fully against all of the threats. In every case the
threats were unable to move beyond the earliest stages of the
attack chain. As soon as the target systems were exposed to the
threats, the attacks were detected immediately and were blocked
from running. This prevented them from causing any damage,
including data theft.
Billy Ho, EVP Product Engineering
at BlackBerry said: "The results of the SE Labs test reinforce what
we've seen with recent ransomware attacks such
as DarkSide, Conti, and REvil – that
prevention-first with detection and response is the right strategy,
and our Cylance AI-driven products are extremely
effective at preventing and detecting breaches, even attacks that
have never been seen before."
SE Labs is a private, independently-owned and run testing
company that assesses security products and services. SE Labs is
able to exercise multiple areas of a product by fully replicating
attacker techniques and following the attack kill-chain. Their
testing is rigorous and challenging, involving 40 different attacks
from four different APT groups.
"Understanding the capabilities of different security products
is always better achieved before it's needed in a live scenario,"
said Simon Edwards, CEO, SE Labs.
"SE Labs' Breach Response test reports help organizations assess
which are the best for their particular needs. BlackBerry Protect
and Optics performed admirably, providing complete detection and
protection coverage against all attacks, while allowing all
legitimate applications to operate. This is an exceptional result
in a challenging test. BlackBerry's engagement with SE Labs shows a
high confidence in its products."
