BlackBerry brings CylancePROTECT to the mobile workforce
02 November 2019
Leveraging Cylance’s AI security technology
At the end of October, BlackBerry has announced CylancePROTECT is available for mobile devices managed by BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management (UEM).
Leveraging Cylance’s AI security technology, this mobile threat defence (MTD) solution provides advanced mobile endpoint protection to prevent, detect and remediate advanced malicious threats.
Organisations are using mobile devices to compete in the agile and ever-evolving digital era. But with half of all devices connected to the Internet, the mobile workforce faces serious security challenges.
The last year has seen a 50% rise in mobile malware attacks, so Gartner recommends that IT Security Risk Management leaders bring in MTD solutions.
Automated threat detection
CylancePROTECT builds on the security foundation provided by BlackBerry UEM by preventing attacks at device and application levels. The solution proactively identifies security vulnerabilities and potential malicious activities on mobile devices by monitoring OS updates, system parameters, device configurations, and system libraries.
CylancePROTECT automated threat detection constantly protects all mobile endpoints from malware infections, URL phishing attacks, and application integrity checking without disrupting end-users.
“We have further integrated Cylance’s advanced threat protection with BlackBerry UEM to support organisations in their pursuit of a zero trust environment. With CylancePROTECT, BlackBerry UEM customers can now manage and secure all their mobile endpoints across all devices, networks, and applications from a single console.”
John Chen, BlackBerry Executive Chairman and CEO.
CylancePROTECT is built into BlackBerry UEM and BlackBerry Dynamics applications. This means organisations can rest assured that their entire mobile fleet is protected without having to rely on employees to maintain third-party applications.
