Combines award-winning security experts, and
industry-leading AI for 24x7 threat protection, backed by a
$1 million guarantee to cover
security incident costs for eligible customers.
WATERLOO, ON, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today
introduced the new and expanded CylanceMDR™, offering comprehensive
Managed Detection & Response (MDR) protection powered by the
award-winning Cylance® AI platform and augmented with award-winning
security operations center analysts for 24x7 threat coverage.
CylanceMDR (formerly CylanceGUARD®) now offers three new
packages – Standard, Advanced, and On-Demand. Each package is
designed to address the unique cybersecurity challenges businesses
face today, from industry-leading AI detection to expert support,
providing a comprehensive solution for all.
"CylanceMDR offers more than just industry-leading technology;
you're getting a true AI-driven MDR fueled by proprietary threat
intelligence. But we know it's not enough to have the right
technology. The key is having the right team to back you up," said
Nathan Jenniges, SVP and General
Manager at BlackBerry Cybersecurity. "Our philosophy is to combine
our technical excellence with our human expertise to provide
unparalleled support to organizations of any size. By partnering
with our award-winning SOC team, you're essentially augmenting your
team with ours, capable of managing the full spectrum of
cybersecurity challenges."
CylanceMDR includes hands-on onboarding, alert triage,
investigation, managed threat hunting, digital forensics,
comprehensive incident response, and critical event management.
It's also supported by advisory and tuning services and is backed
by a $1M guarantee.
CylanceMDR also offers an "On-Demand" solution tailored
exclusively for customers with established security teams seeking
in-depth investigation and response to threats. This unique service
offers direct assistance, threat triage, and thorough investigation
and response capabilities. It serves as a valuable addition to
customers' existing security frameworks, empowering them to tackle
emerging threats and navigate complex security incidents with
confidence.
The Cylance AI platform powers all three packages. In
independent testing, Cylance AI threat detection acted up to 13
times faster, preventing 98 percent of attacks earlier in the kill
chain. The net impact of more effective protection and less strain
on IT resources makes deploying CylanceMDR up to 85 percent less
expensive than building an in-house SOC. In a recent Forrester
Total Economic Impact Study, CylanceMDR reported a return on
investment of almost three times.
"Given the spiraling cost of a data breach and a growing skills
deficit, MDR solutions are gaining popularity as a comprehensive
cybersecurity solution for today's enterprise," said Craig Robinson, Research Vice President,
Security Services at IDC. "The right combination of knowledge and
expertise with technology can effectively address the pressing
time, resource, and cost constraints that heavily impact the
effectiveness of any defensive strategy."
"We are extremely confident that we are applying all the right
measures to protect our customers," said Jenniges. "To give them
the ultimate peace of mind, we also provide a guarantee of up to
$1 million to cover security incident
costs for eligible CylanceMDR Advanced customers."
