Safe browsing with
BlackBerry Dynamics
apps

CylancePROTECT Mobile
allows your organization to leverage the real-time risk assessment capabilities of CylanceINFINITY to protect
BlackBerry Dynamics
app users from malicious websites, phishing attempts, malware, adware, and other web sources that pose a threat to your valuable data.
When a user tries to navigate to a website or open a web link in a
BlackBerry Dynamics
app, the unaltered URL is sent to
CylanceINFINITY
in real-time.
CylanceINFINITY
uses advanced machine learning capabilities and accumulated knowledge from threat intelligence feeds to provide an instant assessment of the safety of the URL. The
CylancePROTECT Mobile
library that is embedded in the
UEM Client
and
BlackBerry Dynamics
apps on the device also leverages local machine learning models to identify unsafe URLs. If the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
library cannot use
CylanceINFINITY
for URL scoring, the local machine learning models are used automatically. This ensures a secure browsing experience regardless of the device’s current context or network connectivity.
You have full control over the user experience in the
BlackBerry Dynamics
app when an unsafe URL is detected: you can allow the user to proceed and log information, you can provide a warning and give the user the option to continue, or you can block access to the URL.
You can also add specific domains and IP addresses to the approved list or blocked list in the management console. A
BlackBerry Dynamics
app will check a URL against the approved lists and the blocked lists before sending it to
CylanceINFINITY
or using local machine learning models.
The
BlackBerry Dynamics
app keeps a local cache of the recent URLs that have been assessed and uses the cached evaluation (safe or unsafe) if the user tries to access the URL again. Each URL in the cache expires after 7 days or after the user restarts the device. The cache is unique to each
BlackBerry Dynamics
app and is not shared between apps.
When the user chooses to proceed to a URL after they receive a warning, that URL is also stored in a local cache. If the user tries to navigate to that URL again while it is cached, access is allowed without a warning. These URLs are removed from the cache when the user closes the app.
CylanceINFINITY
collects plain text URLs for analysis and risk assessment. No additional metadata or user identifiers are collected or stored with the URL. The URLs are never shared with a third party or used by
BlackBerry
for any purpose other than providing a safe browsing experience to
BlackBerry
customers. For more information about
