SUNNYVALE, Calif. and
WATERLOO, Ontario, Jan. 21, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB)
announced today an integration with SafeBreach to help
organizations improve their overall security posture with
continuous enterprise endpoint security validation. The joint
solution is now available to automate the identification of
security gaps and prioritize security configuration changes based
on potential business impact.
BlackBerry Cylance and SafeBreach offer advanced cybersecurity
solutions that customers can test in their own environment.
Customers of both companies can now increase their ROI from
BlackBerry Cylance by exposing misconfigurations and receiving
actionable guidance on how to decrease risk. Quantification of
business risk is based on easy to understand Key Risk Indicators
(KRIs): Attack Surface, MITRE Framework, Critical Segments, Known
Attacks and Exposure Time.
"SafeBreach is on a mission to help educate customers about how
hackers operate and how they can use this knowledge to better
protect themselves," said Itzik
Kotler, Chief Technology Officer at SafeBreach. "Together
with BlackBerry Cylance, we can help our customers increase their
resilience from attacks and minimize business risk."
BlackBerry Cylance connects with SafeBreach to parse alerts,
coordinate against simulations, and retrieve the results to show
SafeBreach operators both the offensive and defensive spectrum.
Thousands of controlled, safe forms of real cyber attacks are
available as part of the SafeBreach Hacker's playbook. With 10,000+
breach and attack methods this playbook is the largest in the
industry based on actual attacks, active investigations and
cutting-edge research.
"Many companies claim their security products use artificial
intelligence (AI) but offer few details on how it benefits their
customers," said Daniel Doimo,
President at BlackBerry Cylance. "This joint solution helps our
customers understand the before and after of deploying BlackBerry
Cylance's AI-powered security solutions by simulating attacks,
which generate data-driven results."
IT and security teams save valuable time with automated
correlation of BlackBerry Cylance detection events to SafeBreach
simulations. Joint customers are expected to reach an optimal
configuration of their BlackBerry Cylance deployment with
SafeBreach exposing misconfigurations, which may cause attacks to
be missed. Exposing and addressing misconfigurations from an
attacker perspective, means priorities are determined based on the
actual threat and hence lead efficient and impactful risk
mitigation.
"The integration between Cylance and SafeBreach helps us
automatically and quickly identify attacks which are detected and
should be blocked by BlackBerry Cylance," said Yaron Levi, Chief Information Security Officer
at Blue Cross Blue Shield Kansas City. "The road to improving our
security configuration and reducing risk has just become much
shorter," Levi concluded.
