WATERLOO, ON, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced Frost & Sullivan
has named BlackBerry an innovator in its latest US Healthcare
Cybersecurity Market report. Frost & Sullivan studied over
fifty companies and the top cyber threats as the basis for its
report. BlackBerry also announced University Health Network
(UHN) has selected BlackBerry Spark® to protect its
entire public research and teaching hospital network.
BlackBerry was selected by Frost & Sullivan and UHN for its
pioneering platform that can protect against cybersecurity threats
in any connected care system. The platform, which includes
BlackBerry Spark® unified endpoint management (UEM),
BlackBerry Spark® unified endpoint security (UES) and
BlackBerry® Alert, is HIPAA and HITECH compliant and
trusted by providers and suppliers across the healthcare
sector. Additionally, BlackBerry recently collaborated with
the CTA® to develop an ANSI-accredited standard for
trustworthy AI solutions in healthcare.
"At UHN, the largest healthcare and medical research
organization in Canada,
cybersecurity is a top priority, to ensure patient safety and
enable patient care innovation," said Kashif Parvaiz, Chief Information Security
Officer, University Health Network. "BlackBerry's superior,
AI-driven, cybersecurity solutions mean that we stay ahead of
adversaries and can measurably improve patient
care. Furthermore, there is incalculable value in the trust
that BlackBerry's thirty-five-year cybersecurity market leadership
and customer-first whole business mindset provides."
"It is critical that healthcare organizations have a
cybersecurity strategy, to protect both a patient's health and
their personal data. We are delighted that Frost &
Sullivan and UHN have recognized BlackBerry for our
industry-leading solutions and their critical application across
healthcare systems," said Neelam
Sandhu, Senior Vice President and Chief Elite Customer
Success Officer, BlackBerry. "Strong healthcare systems are
critical for our physical, mental and economic well-being. In
2020 healthcare was one of the industries most vulnerable to
cyberattacks and this trend is forecast to continue in
2021."
"Over 90% of healthcare organizations have reported at least one
cybersecurity breach in the past three years," said Koustav
Chatterjee, Healthcare Industry Principal, Frost &
Sullivan. "These threats are increasing and so it is
imperative that C-suites across the industry make cybersecurity a
top strategic focus. Our report, which presents the market
leading healthcare cybersecurity companies, outlines how BlackBerry
has a pioneering platform to comprehensively secure the healthcare
system and help ensure the delivery of care to patients is
uninterrupted."
