Expanded network of specialist partners now offering
BlackBerry's single-tool solution to help developers, manufacturers
and regulators analyze and detect threats in complex embedded
systems
WATERLOO, ON, March 20,
2022 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB)
today announced 13 channel partners (Distributors & Value Added
Integrators) that will offer BlackBerry® Jarvis® 2.0 to companies
that build secure, mission-critical systems in APAC. Whether in
transportation, medical equipment or on the factory floor –
BlackBerry Jarvis is key for industries that must adhere to strict
regulations while managing complex supply chains and the escalating
risk of security attacks on cyber and physical systems.
BlackBerry Jarvis is a binary software composition analysis
(SCA) and security testing tool, designed to detect and list
open-source software and software licenses within embedded systems,
as well as cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures. It
performs a thorough scan of the software binary and produces a
software bill of materials (SBOM), offering deep actionable
insights in a fraction of the time it takes for security
professionals to manually perform these tasks. Embedded software
developers use BlackBerry Jarvis to demonstrate compliance to
specific security standards and harden their systems to make them
more resilient. Regulators can also use the tool to enforce
compliance, verifying security claims by manufacturers and
suppliers.
"Asia Pacific is at a tipping
point in how it protects infrastructure and industries against
growing IoT security threats as digital automation continues to
advance," said Dhiraj Handa, VP,
Asia Pacific, BlackBerry QNX. "As
a leader in mission-critical solutions, BlackBerry QNX is excited
to enable so many ecosystem partners to deliver BlackBerry Jarvis
across more sectors, offering rapid, trusted intelligence to
companies, developers and regulators that need to protect IP,
address compliance issues and deploy security resources
where they are needed most."
The BlackBerry Jarvis partners include UPS Technology (Korea),
KMS Technology Inc. (Korea), RT Solutions Inc. (Korea), Strategic
Innovation Business Group, Macnica, Inc. (Japan), Hitachi Industry & Control
Solutions, Ltd. (Japan), ISB
Corporation (Japan), Nexty
Electronics Corporation (Japan),
SC Automotive Engineering Co., Ltd. (Japan), Gopalam Embedded Systems Pte Ltd
(India), AdvanTrak Technologies
Private Limited (India), Thunder
Software Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Mcloudware Technology Co., Limited
(Taiwan), and Nanjing Leading
R&D Information Technology Limited (China).
BlackBerry's partner news follows a spate of high-profile
cyberattacks on critical infrastructure as networks and legacy
systems are increasingly exposed by the convergence of information
technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). In response,
nations are introducing multiple safety and security standards for
industries such as automotive, medical, industrial automation and
rail. This shows no sign of slowing, with the Ponemon
Institute1 finding that 9 out of 10 companies adopting
IoT expect to experience a breach or attack caused by unsecured IoT
devices in the next two years.
Earlier this year, BlackBerry Jarvis was also recognized as
"Best in Breed" among leading binary analysis solutions by an
Internal Research & Development project (IRAD). The analysis
was conducted on behalf of the United States Department of Defense
(DoD) by The Aerospace Corporation, and recommends the most
proficient binary analysis solutions on the market for embedded
software, citing BlackBerry Jarvis as the most promising and robust
after a rigorous assessment of all the key players.
