Enterprises and Governments Now Better Able to Defend Against
Evolving Threat Landscape
WATERLOO, ON, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry
Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced a major update to
its BlackBerry® Guard managed detection and response (MDR) service
to now deliver a managed extended detection and response (XDR)
service. This new functionality is achieved through a
partnership with Exabeam. The BlackBerry Guard managed XDR solution
provides coverage beyond endpoints by seamlessly integrating
Cylance® AI-powered BlackBerry® Optics, BlackBerry® Persona,
BlackBerry® Gateway, and BlackBerry® Protect solutions with Exabeam
Fusion SIEM and XDR solutions. BlackBerry customers will benefit
from BlackBerry solutions and the Exabeam security analytics and
automation platform for high-fidelity alerts and cross-tool threat
hunting services that automatically correlate data from mobile
devices, servers, users and networks to quickly detect potential
threats in real-time, visible from a single console.
"With cybercrime drastically increasing due to the pandemic,
cybercriminals are targeting people -- not just the systems in
place. Legacy mitigation tools designed to safeguard organizations'
systems and infrastructure only are now inadequate to stop
expanding attack avenues," said Billy
Ho, Executive Vice President of Product Engineering,
BlackBerry. "Organizations operating in hybrid workplace
environments need human threat experts to manage cybersecurity
incident alerts, deal with and prevent attacks, and fill in the
resource and skills gap. The integrated BlackBerry Guard solution
provides customers with an innovative and industry-leading managed
XDR service, keeping employees secure 24x7."
Exabeam is the leader in next-generation SIEM that powers
security teams with analytics-driven insights to uncover,
investigate, and resolve threats.
"We're excited that after extensive due diligence, BlackBerry
selected Exabeam to enable the BlackBerry Guard managed XDR
solution to help end clients more easily achieve holistic XDR
coverage with a simplified experience," said Gorka Sadowski, Chief Strategy Officer, Exabeam.
"Exabeam Fusion SIEM and Exabeam Fusion XDR combined with the
BlackBerry AI-powered solutions will offer thousands of BlackBerry
customers a powerful and prescriptive solution to solve their most
pressing threat, detection, investigation, and response needs."
With Guard 2.0, BlackBerry's managed XDR analysts and threat
prevention experts work as an extension of customers' security and
IT teams, providing around-the-clock multi-regional support,
compliance and monitoring and responding to threats directly when
necessary. This integration introduces telemetry to the BlackBerry
analyst portal so that customers can defend against the evolving
threat landscape. With Guard 2.0, customers can choose a single
service offering that combines Guard's managed XDR services on top
of the BlackBerry Cyber Suite products and Exabeam solutions -- all
in one package.
In addition to the integration between the BlackBerry product
suite and third-party solutions such as Exabeam, BlackBerry Guard
provides:
- Advanced threat detection across all products and Guard
services, based on BlackBerry's industry-leading 7th generation
Cylance AI/ML models, which have analyzed over 1.4 trillion files,
extracting over 20 billion features
- AI-based auto threat responses to reduce time to respond (TTR)
and resolve major incidents as quickly as possible, reducing cyber
risks, maximizing uptime, and eliminating threats as they
appear
- Support for multi-regional architecture to ensure that
customers can comply with their regional data residency
requirements, such as GDPR
- Continuous monitoring of various attack surfaces to prevent
malicious malware and phishing attempts from attacking customer
environments
