WATERLOO, ON, July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced the release of
BlackBerry Jarvis 2.0, the latest edition of the company's flagship
software composition analysis tool.
BlackBerry Jarvis 2.0 introduces a SaaS version of the original
Jarvis capabilities that provide developers and integrators a more
user-friendly, focused feature set around the three most important
areas that those building mission-critical applications need to
validate to ensure the quality of their multi-tiered software
supply chain: Open-source Software (OSS), Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures (CVE) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
management. The online end user dashboard of the tool has also been
enhanced with specific cautions and advisory flags, empowering
teams to keep software secure from all known issues based on the
actionable intelligence BlackBerry Jarvis 2.0 provides.
Designed to address the increasing complexity and growing
cybersecurity threats among multi-tiered software supply chains
within the medical, automotive and aerospace industries, BlackBerry
Jarvis 2.0 empowers OEMs to inspect the provenance of their code
and every single software asset that comes into their overall
supply chains to ensure their products are both secure and updated
with the most recent security patches.
When building software for a modern automobile, that's far
easier said than done, with more than 150,000 publicly disclosed
vulnerabilities as of mid-July 2021.
A complex piece of software for a vehicle infotainment system may
contain hundreds of third-party software modules. Failure to check
and update each piece of software provides openings for hackers to
potentially exploit those vulnerabilities.
BlackBerry Jarvis 2.0 addresses the need to identify and
remediate vulnerabilities by identifying them, then providing deep
actionable insights in minutes – something that would otherwise
involve manually scanning that would take large numbers of experts
and an impractical amount of time.
"A number of cybersecurity regulatory changes and standards such
as UNECE WP.29 and SBOM are on the horizon, which will empower
authorities to levy fines against non-compliance or shut down
operations completely. So the time for OEMs to get a handle on
their entire code base is now," said Adam
Boulton, Chief Technology Officer, BlackBerry Technology
Solutions. "Don't sit idly by and wait for a bad actor to exploit a
vulnerability that could have far reaching consequences. With the
release of BlackBerry Jarvis 2.0, embedded software developers and
integrators have an intuitive and reliable software composition
analysis tool to help them meet their cybersecurity goals with
efficiency and confidence."
"As software supply chains get increasingly complex and
cyberattacks become more sophisticated, securing embedded devices
at the firmware layer is becoming an integral part of device
security management. With Jarvis 2.0, BlackBerry has translated
years of knowledge and experience in embedded device security into
an impressive, feature rich product for software binary
analysis."
