BlackBerry Introduces Industry-First Integrated Solution to Assure Secure Bi-Directional Response Communications During Cyber Incidents
WATERLOO, ON, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB) (TSX: BB) today announced a new integration that combines the award-winning Managed Detection and Response (MDR) protection of CylanceGUARD® with secure Critical Event Management (CEM) powered by BlackBerry® AtHoc®. In the event of a cyberattack, organizations that select a CylanceGUARD subscription with AtHoc features will benefit from secure, multi-channel internal and stakeholder communications for incident response actions, with the ability to alert, communicate and collaborate from within the CylanceGUARD platform, even when the usual communications infrastructure is not available.
- John Giamatteo, President, BlackBerry Cybersecurity, says: "Organizations need to consider how they would communicate when their network is compromised.
- Too often, secure and reliable communication is a critical missing element of cyber incident response that creates costly uncertainty and delays.
- BlackBerry AtHoc is an interoperable CEM system that is trusted by organizations and used by over 75% of U.S. federal government employees for crisis communications and incident response.
- Users can quickly activate incident response plans for impacting situations, capture real-time information, and rapidly deploy secure communication to specified groups.
