Going Mobile Increases Risk
Now more than ever, organizations are using mobile devices to compete in an agile, evolving market and keep their employees connected. For the first time, more than half of all devices connected to the Internet are mobile. (1)
At the same time, mobile malware is more prevalent than ever, with attacks rising 50% in the last year alone. (2)
While the focus of enterprise security solutions has historically been on desktop devices, more businesses are discovering the growing threat of malware phishing attacks aimed at mobile devices, especially within applications.
The damage from these attacks can be significant, with personally identifiable information (PII) and other critical data being leaked at higher rates than ever before. This is leading more organizations to adopt deep packet inspection (DPI) and other capabilities to protect against malicious attacks.
It is no surprise, therefore, that the MTD market is growing rapidly. MTD offers an extra layer of security by preventing, detecting, remediating, and improving overall security hygiene for all different levels within an organization’s mobile fleet and applications.
CylancePROTECT: Continuous
Mobile Endpoint Protection
CylancePROTECT® is an MTD solution that augments the security baseline provided by BlackBerry UEM by addressing advanced malicious threats on mobile devices. CylancePROTECT monitors attacks at the device and application levels and goes beyond the security of BlackBerry’s basic application containers.
Device level. Identifies security vulnerabilities and potential malicious activities by monitoring OS updates, system parameters, device configurations, and system libraries.
Application level. Uses application sandboxing and code analysis, as well as app-security testing, to identify malware and grayware.
In addition, CylancePROTECT identifies any malware that might come in through sideloaded applications, unique signature-based malware, or simulations, adding an extra layer of security to the BlackBerry® DynamicsTM SDK platform. This allows
partners and companies to build customized, secure applications that can be loaded onto enterprise-accessible devices.
Advanced Threat Protection
Although there are many mobile threat solutions on the market, CylancePROTECT delivers a uniquely powerful set of features that separates it from the competition.
BlackBerry Cylance AI Advantage
CylancePROTECT leverages AI technology embedded in BlackBerry® Cylance®, known for its advanced machine learning capabilities. BlackBerry Cylance’s cybersecurity solution protects against known and unknown malware, fileless attacks, and zero-day payload execution.
Mobile Suite Protection for All Managed and BYO Devices
Since CylancePROTECT is built right into BlackBerry UEM apps, organizations can be assured that their entire mobile fleet is protected without having to rely on employees to maintain third-party apps. By avoiding the need to manually configure VPNs or VDIs, which is typically required by other MTD vendors, organizations can increase productivity and decrease costs.
Single Pane of Glass
With CylancePROTECT, there is no separate product or console to set up and configure. It is all tightly integrated into the BlackBerry UEM server and applications, so security and management functionality are available in a single, convenient location.
Zero Trust to Zero Touch Architecture
While organizations today require highly secure environments, balancing the need for authentication with usability and productivity can be challenging. However, the typical static policy solutions available offer little toward addressing either issue. CylancePROTECT’s AI-driven threat detection is different. It continuously works to protect all endpoints without disrupting end-users, leveraging the best of zero trust and zero touch architectures. Similar to BlackBerry® Intelligent Security, CylancePROTECT adjusts policies and security levels dynamically based on a user’s location, behavior, and device, strengthening existing UEM policies.
