Expanded capabilities to BlackBerry's Cylance AI-based
cybersecurity portfolio provide added controls, context and
workflows to prevent sophisticated cyberthreats
NEW
YORK, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the
BlackBerry Security Summit, BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB)
announced powerful enhancements to its AI-based cybersecurity
portfolio that will help customers strengthen their overall
security posture, improve workflows, and ensure business
resilience. Capabilities include enhanced data context for
zero-trust network access, and faster, more efficient operations to
stay one step ahead of today's and tomorrow's threats.
"BlackBerry is focused on delivering solutions that help
businesses safeguard their sensitive data, solve challenges and
stay on top of a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape," said
Billy Ho, Executive Vice President,
Security Products at BlackBerry. "These new capabilities further
strengthen our end-to-end approach to cybersecurity that's deeply
rooted in the advanced intelligence of our Cylance® platform, which
time and again has been proven to identify and stop attacks before
they can even start."
Key enhancements include:
BlackBerry® UEM
BlackBerry UEM's unrivalled maturity
allows customers to benefit from new APIs that
offer significantly reduced administrative overhead. This is
in addition to stronger integration of all Google services from
ChromeOS to Android, offering unified administration and an
improved user experience. BlackBerry UEM will also offer greater
eSIM integration to enhance a user's digital SIM experience.
CylancePROTECT®, CylanceOPTICS®,
CylanceGUARD®
Threat hunters now have access to a
single-pane view of the most critical issues with the ability to
act quickly. Significant updates across triage and analysis
workflows provide a dramatically improved user experience that
reduces operational burden, improves investigation speed, and
lowers the total cost of ownership; critical for analysts as they
investigate and respond to endpoint threats.
CylanceGATEWAY™
In addition to endpoint, network, and
user telemetry, BlackBerry's ZTNA offering, CylanceGATEWAY, now
provides data access and leakage visibility via a newly launched
data loss detection module, CylanceAVERT™. CylanceGATEWAY also
receives enhanced network anomaly detection to identify threats,
broadened support for cloud workspaces and more granular access
control. By constantly monitoring data and application access
patterns across endpoints, email, and SaaS applications,
organizations are now better equipped to detect and prevent
malicious activity, including compromised accounts and insider
threats, which Gartner estimates are responsible for 50 to 70
percent of all security incidents and 75 percent of all security
breaches.
"The cybersecurity workforce shortage has elevated the need for
efficiency to be as important as efficacy as security professionals
aim to stay ahead of a constant barrage of complex, competing and
evolving threats," said Frank
Dickson, Group Vice President, Security and Trust at IDC.
"Added controls, workflow improvements and contextual nuance
provide organizations with the ability to act quickly in detecting
and responding to endpoint threats and are in desperate need by an
industry facing a critical talent gap."
The UX workflow improvements and data context additions will be
available later this year and early next year through
CylancePROTECT, CylanceOPTICS, CylanceGUARD, CylanceGATEWAY,
and BlackBerryUEM offerings.
