LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today unveiled a customizable
concept solution that OEMs and fleet managers can use for vehicle
health and security use cases to 'future-proof' their vehicles,
accelerating development timelines and reducing the cost of moving
projects from research to production and onto roads.
Working with BlackBerry's cybersecurity and automotive embedded
systems teams, companies across the transportation industry will be
able to leverage the solution to build powerful AI and ML
software-driven use cases with a view to enhancing the overall
safety and security of their vehicles. The new offering marks the
first time BlackBerry Cylance's AI and ML technologies have been
integrated with BlackBerry QNX solutions, which currently are
embedded in more than 150 million cars on the road today.
The modular and flexible system will allow automakers and fleet
managers to activate just the features they need or use their own
data or pre-built AI/ML models to create an aggregate view of the
health of their vehicles from a single console or 'Vehicle
Operations Centre,' while also being able to automate software
patches, continuously authenticate drivers and proactively address
cybersecurity threats using both Endpoint Protection and Endpoint
Detection and Response (EDR) technology. The solution:
- Is built on the ISO 26262 safety-certified BlackBerry QNX
Hypervisor, providing a secure and reliable foundation for
safety-critical applications.
- Leverages threat detection technologies from
CylancePROTECT to predict, prevent, detect, and remediate
advanced malicious threats and malware in the vehicle infotainment
system.
- Integrates the contextual analysis engine from
CylanceOPTICS to provide the capability to proactively scan
the vehicle for signs of trouble or software anomalies before they
lead to maintenance issues, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, or
accidents.
- Uses behavioral monitoring techniques from
CylancePERSONA to ensure the identity of the vehicle's
driver is known and trusted in relation to their driving
profile.
- Provides insights into cybersecurity and operational events on
vehicle(s) and complete remediation through a fully customizable
Vehicle Operations Center.
- Incorporates the BlackBerry Jarvis cloud-based static
binary code scanning solution to identify vulnerabilities in
software used in automobiles.
- Includes the BlackBerry OTA Software Update Management
Service, a proven, reliable and secure OTA update
service, to allow preventative software maintenance over the
lifetime of a car, allowing automakers to deliver new capabilities
to millions of end users simultaneously.
- Leverages BlackBerry UEM for the deployment of
malware-free applications to managed vehicles.
"This solution represents a major milestone in the company's
continued efforts to integrate BlackBerry Cylance's innovative
prevention-first, predictive security products with our vast range
of industry-leading technologies," said Charles Eagan, Chief Technology Officer,
BlackBerry. "With the average new car containing more than 100
million lines of code and some of the most complex software ever
deployed by automakers, the need for a holistic view into the
overall health and security posture of a vehicle's entire code base
throughout its full lifecycle is absolutely critical. No one knows
security better than us and we now have a transportation-focused
framework that the industry can tap to enhance the security,
trustworthiness, and safety of connected vehicles, providing peace
of mind to drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike."
BlackBerry's full suite of automotive offerings will be
demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January
7-10, 2020, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit
