The Truth About BlackBerry Cylance

The Truth About BlackBerry Cylance

BlackBerry has long been a brand that people around the world have a strong emotional connection to. The power of the association between BlackBerry and people emerged from our mobile technology innovations that advanced how humans connect, our complete commitment to individuals privacy and the reliability of our security. 

While we pivoted our strategy to software five years ago we still see the same passion for and connection from people to the brand. This comes from the fact that our strategic foundation remains the same and it is one of the key reasons we are building an Internet of Things platform (IoT). The IoT has great potential to connect the world in new ways, but to be realized it requires the security, privacy and reliability that the world trusts BlackBerry to deliver. 

Earlier this year we added BlackBerry Cylance, Artificial Intelligence based cybersecurity capabilities, to our IoT product portfolio and the interest the milestone has generated has been notable. Our competition, who we are grateful for, in particular have been paying attention. We are happy to share the truth about BlackBerry Cylance here:

  • BlackBerry Cylance is a suite of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence based cybersecurity products from BlackBerry that today protect fixed endpoints. The products are uniquely capable of threat prevention, preventing known and unknown threats and predicting threats up to 25 months before they are found in the real world
  • The products also detect and respond to threats and they do this with no human interaction and while online or offline. The strength of these capabilities is well-illustrated by one customer who after deployment saw their endpoint threat detection number drop from 30,000 to less than 10 a day
  • The false positive rate of BlackBerry Cylance threat detection is one of the lowest in the market at 0.000314%
  • BlackBerry Cylance is easy to install, as it is 100% SaaS and takes just a few minutes to install remotely. In-line with our customer-first focus, we do also offer an on-prem option for our customers that require it, for example in government, healthcare, aviation and oil and gas
  • BlackBerry Cylance products only store data that is relevant for threat analysis. The data is stored locally, protecting user privacy and eliminating the costs and security and privacy risks related to cloud storage
  • BlackBerry Cylance products are easy to use, being the only technology of its kind that does not depend on the cloud so able to prevent unknown cyberattacks even with no connectivity
  • Today BlackBerry Cylance products are being used by over 4,000 customers. Last quarter almost 100 customers spent over $100K on BlackBerry Cylance products and more than 10 spent over $500K
  • BlackBerry has delivered 13 consecutive quarters of profitability, allowing us to dedicate over 1,500 engineers to product development this fiscal year while continuing to forecast total company profitability including BlackBerry Cylance   
  • Over the coming months, BlackBerry Cylance products will be embedded into BlackBerry’s IoT platform, BlackBerry Spark, to deliver the most complete IoT platform that you can trust 

Thank you to our customers, partners, competitors and other supporters. We are excited about our collective journey ahead and will continue to honor your trust in BlackBerry through our operations, strategy and respect for how we communicate to and about all.

Well ... I guess I'll be sticking with my RIM Bold 9000. Not too keen on purchasing a TCL BlackBerry.

Hmmm ... I've been thinking of going back to BlackBerry. I still have my Bold 9000 which I LOVE and is in mint condition (thanks to OtterBox), which I still use from time to time when traveling as a backup phone. Switched to iPhone with the release of the 5s, also in mint condition (thanks to Pelican). As you can tell I'm not one to upgrade often, only in cases of necessity.?NTT DoCoMo was the carrier for BlackBerry in Japan back in the day. Just checked their website and don't see a single BlackBerry phone listed. :-(

Hello Suhas. This is a shout for help. I need to contact an officer of Technical support with proven results-driven spirit to work in my case. I'm an artist based in Argentina and worked in media and politics as well. My uncle runs the Córdoba's City Hall as Administrative Secretary representing my hometown branch of the national government coalition at this time in Argentina. I've been using BlackBerry for years now. I had troubles within my signing into BBID and didn't being capable to get in touch with high-valuable features ever since. I reached out for the Canadian Embassy in my country for a proper introduction with designated officers of BlackBerry Enterprises willing to to be helpful to my inquiry, which I restarted last friday after a poor answer of a Communications Executive who promised me that their Sunrise, Florida-based technicians were in the vierge to offer me several alternatives regarding my request and yet I'm still waiting. Being the writing one of my top concerns in arts, almost 900 long and highly-elaborated texts stand like a strong motiv to persist looking for a satisfactory answer. Nevertheless I've contacted both Canadian officers, you and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's offices to restrenght at highest level possible my petition. I hope you can help to brought up a proper solution to the low-detailed subject. My cellphone number is +54 11 5147-3727. Thanks?
