BlackBerry recognized for its prevention first
approach
WATERLOO, ON, Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced that SE Labs has
rated BlackBerry as the best new endpoint security offering of
2021.
SE Labs prides itself on providing the most realistic and honest
cybersecurity testing. The organization hires innovative
researchers to replicate the most accurate 'real world' testing
scenarios possible. As workplaces open and hybrid work brings with
it a range of new attack vectors, it's even more critical that
security software be tested against these evolving threats.
"Being rated as best new endpoint solution reflects the work
done by our development and engineering teams.," says Billy Ho, Executive Vice President, BlackBerry
Spark Group Products. "Our Cylance AI/ML models are in their
seventh generation and have analyzed over 1.4 trillion files,
extracting over 20 billion features. This scale was also reflected
in SE Labs July 2021 testing, where
BlackBerry's achieved 100% efficacy with zero false positives
against recent malware. We're excited by the continued industry and
market recognition of our security solutions."
Cybersecurity benchmarking is increasingly important, as the
cybercriminal landscape has never posed more of a threat to
businesses. With the cybercriminal underground increasingly
operating like the business world, the desire to quickly monetize
viruses is growing. In the past 12 months alone, the BlackBerry
Research and Intelligence team have uncovered the world's largest
cyber espionage group as well as an 'enterprise' level Initial
Access Broker linked to some of the more rampant ransomware
strains. BlackBerry's advance intelligence for endpoint security,
Cylance AI, focuses on prevention first, stopping attacks before
they infiltrate systems or exploit other weaknesses.
"2021 has been the first year we have tested this product with
BlackBerry publicly. When judging for our annual awards it is hard
to ignore when a new, significant vendor enters our tests and
performs so well from the start," said Simon Edwards, CEO SE Labs. Blackberry has
demonstrated excellent performance in our 'real-world' testing, and
the product is well regarded by both our expert panel of judges and
users of the product. We would like to congratulate BlackBerry on
achieving the award for best new endpoint."
