?BlackBerry
Protect
is a suite of features that enhances BlackBerry UEM
’s ability to detect, prevent, and resolve security threats without disrupting the productivity of your workforce.BlackBerry
Protect
uses a combination of advanced technologies, including:
- The cloud-based CylanceINFINITY service that uses sophisticated AI and machine learning to identify malware and unsafe URLs
- TheUEMserver that provides a complete device management and compliance infrastructure for your organization
- TheUEM ClientandBlackBerry Dynamicsapps that monitor and enforce security standards at the device and user level
The seamless integration of these technologies establishes a secure ecosystem where data is protected and malicious activities are identified at all endpoints and eliminated proactively.
The features are fully integrated into the existing components of the overall
UEM
server and device architecture, so no additional software footprint or user actions are required to benefit from BlackBerry
Protect
. Your valuable data and resources are protected continuously without intruding on the daily activity of your device users.Feature | Platform | Description |
|---|---|---|
Android | When you upload a hosted app to UEM to deploy it to your users, UEM leverages CylanceINFINITY to scan the app and detect potential malware. | |
Android | The UEM Client or a BlackBerry
Dynamics app uploads app files to CylanceINFINITY to identify whether malicious apps are present on a user’s device. UEM takes a compliance action that you specify if malware is detected. | |
iOS | UEM , the UEM Client , and BlackBerry Work can detect sideloaded apps on iOS devices and take a compliance action that you specify. | |
Android iOS | When a user navigates to a URL in a BlackBerry
Dynamics app (for example, BlackBerry Access ), the app sends the URL to CylanceINFINITY in real-time to determine if it is safe. You can choose the user experience when a user tries to navigate to an unsafe URL. For example, the app can permit access and log information, warn the user and give an option to continue, or block access. | |
iOS | When a user receives a URL in an SMS text message, the UEM Client or BlackBerry Work sends the message to CylanceINFINITY in real time to determine if it is safe. Messages with unsafe URLs are moved to the Junk folder and the user can choose to delete the message. If the user clicks the link, safe browsing rules take effect. | |
iOS | UEM can leverage the Apple DeviceCheck framework to verify the integrity of BlackBerry or ISV authored BlackBerry
Dynamics apps. UEM also supports partial integrity checking for custom BlackBerry
Dynamics apps, based on the Apple team ID that is associated with the app, without leveraging the DeviceCheck framework. | |
Android | BlackBerry
Protect extends security patch level enforcement to BlackBerry
Dynamics apps. If the security patch level is not satisfied, UEM takes a compliance action that you specify. |
