Easy-to-understand insights delivered
on-demand to fortify your cyber resilience
WATERLOO, ON, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB;
TSX: BB) today announced the general availability of Cylance
Assistant, a generative AI cybersecurity advisor that will help
organizations speed up decision-making and stop more threats faster
with fewer resources.
"Cylance Assistant is not just a generative AI cybersecurity
advisor; it's the ultimate one," declared Shiladitya Sircar, senior
vice president, Product Engineering and Data Science at BlackBerry.
"It helps thwart more threats and empowers your staff to make
quicker, more informed decisions, catapulting your security
operations to new heights. Cylance Assistant understands context
because it knows where you are in your investigation, reducing time
spent identifying and remediating risks in a single platform
without incurring additional costs for the service."
Cylance Assistant brings together a set of advanced capabilities
that leverage the power of Cylance AI to do more with less. These
AI-driven features are built into the Cylance cybersecurity
platform. Cylance Assistant provides fast, expert guidance and
valuable recommendations to security analysts to enhance your
security operations center. It simplifies complex cybersecurity
issues by analyzing large quantities of data and combining it with
our threat research to deliver recommendations in plain language.
It virtually looks over the shoulder of each analyst to evaluate,
interpret, and suggest the best course of action in real-time.
Unlike competitor offerings, there is no need to step away from
your workflow to ask a chatbot what you should do. The Cylance
Assistant understands the context and provides expert guidance
without asking. The result is quicker investigations and reasonable
resolution of security threats.
With Cylance AI always available on demand, security analysts
can now identify and block a broader range of threats, expedite
investigations, and make rapid decisions. The introduction of
Cylance AI, the industry's longest-running predictive AI, along
with Cylance Assistant, empowers security teams to take complete
control of their operations, outmaneuvering sophisticated threat
actors who employ adversarial AI and polymorphic malware. Cylance
Assistant uses privacy-preserved, responsible AI principles and
doesn't share customer data to train models. It is included
with CylanceENDPOINT to maximize your budget and simplify your
operations.
BlackBerry's Cylance Assistant utilizes Amazon Web Services'
(AWS) Generative AI service Amazon Bedrock to help organizations
greatly enhance their cyber security operations and achieve better
outcomes. Amazon Bedrock provides foundation model choice from
leading AI providers via a single API for companies to build and
scale generative AI applications.
"BlackBerry has a long-standing reputation for its innovative
security solutions. Cylance Assistant is a great example of how
Generative AI can help solve some of the world's most difficult
challenges," said Matt Garman,
AWS senior vice president of Sales and Marketing. "As
BlackBerry continues to drive cybersecurity innovation, we're proud
to offer them the most popular and advanced foundation models
with Amazon Bedrock."
