What is
BlackBerry Protect
?

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
  • The
    UEM
     server that provides a complete device management and compliance infrastructure for your organization
  • The
    UEM Client
     and
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps 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.
Android
iOS
The
UEM
 server, the
UEM Client
, and
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps can detect sideloaded apps on 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.
