WATERLOO, Canada, Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited
(NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) and Deloitte today announced the two
organizations are teaming up to help OEMs and those building
mission-critical applications secure their software supply
chains.
As part of the agreement, Deloitte will leverage BlackBerry's
flagship software composition analysis tool, BlackBerry® Jarvis™ to
provide Open-source Software (OSS), Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) analysis on
behalf of their clients across the medical, automotive and
aerospace industries, empowering them to keep software safe and
secure based on the actionable intelligence the platform
provides.
A G7 Transportation Ministry has selected the companies' joint
software and services offering to ensure the security of its
traffic management and broader transportation infrastructure.
"We're thrilled to partner with Deloitte to help OEMs and those
responsible for critical infrastructure better understand their
embedded systems security challenges with a view to ensuring their
end products are both secure and updated with the most recent
security patches," said Adam
Boulton, Chief Technology Officer, BlackBerry Technology
Solutions. "Just as a health-conscious grocery shopper can benefit
from scrutinizing nutrition labels on food packages, an embedded
software developer can gain a whole host of insights by leveraging
tools and expertise that enable them to detect issues in their
supply chain that may have real implications for intellectual
property disputes, security risks and overall quality."
Designed to address the increasing complexity and growing
cybersecurity threats among multi-tiered software supply chains,
BlackBerry Jarvis 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.
BlackBerry Jarvis addresses the need to identify and remediate
vulnerabilities by identifying them and then providing deep
actionable insights in minutes – something that would otherwise
involve manual scanning that would take large numbers of experts
and an impractical amount of time.
"Deloitte is very excited to partner with BlackBerry. Our
already productive relationship will focus on key mobility and
other market opportunities. We're confident that BlackBerry's
deep security heritage and expertise complimented by Deloitte's
world leading Risk Advisory teams will create a compelling value
proposition for new and existing clients," said Stephen Meagher, Director of IOT for Risk
Advisory, Deloitte.
