BlackBerry has launched BlackBerry Spark Suites, offering enterprises a range of tailored cybersecurity and endpoint management solutions.
The BlackBerry Spark Suites are a set of endpoint solutions built upon six pillars of cybersecurity, with each pillar focused on a specific security goal that works in harmony with the others – Endpoint Protection, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Mobile Threat Defense (MTD), User and Entity Behavior Analysis (UEBA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and a Secure Web Gateway
The suites are powered by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and automation for improved cyber threat prevention and remediation from BlackBerry Cylance, plus seamless endpoint management, user authentication, and application and data encryption from BlackBerry UEM.
The new suites improve user productivity and layered security defenses, while simplifying purchasing decisions for enterprise customers who are undergoing digital transformation and shift to remote work.
“2020 is a pivotal year for organizations trying to maintain business continuity, while undergoing digital transformation and workplace upheaval. With the increased volume and variety of enterprise IoT endpoints and as the scale of cyber threats continues to grow, BlackBerry Spark Suites provide a consolidated, simplified endpoint security and management offering to reduce cost and complexity in a chaotic environment,” said John Chen, Executive Chairman and CEO of BlackBerry.
“We are excited to deliver the proven performance of BlackBerry’s AI-powered, zero-trust platform to customers worldwide.”
The BlackBerry Spark Suites solution set includes the following options:
BlackBerry Spark UEM Express Suite: A highly secure way to manage and secure devices and applications, including secure interoperability with Microsoft Office 365 mobile apps
BlackBerry Spark UEM Suite: A full set of endpoint management capabilities that builds on the BlackBerry Spark UEM Express Suite with the additions of Digital Rights Management, Identity and Access Management, SDK/custom apps, multi-channel notifications, and regulated controls.
BlackBerry Spark UES Suite: A full set of endpoint security capabilities, including AI-driven user and entity behavior analytics, next-generation Mobile Threat Defense, Endpoint Protection, as well as Endpoint Detection and Response. Data Loss Prevention and a Secure Internet Gateway will be added to this suite in the future.
BlackBerry Spark Suite: A one-stop-shop and the gold standard for Unified Endpoint Security (UES) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) supporting all device types and ownership models. BlackBerry Spark Suite combines all the endpoint management capabilities of BlackBerry UEM Suite with the security prowess of the BlackBerry UES Suite in one holistic solution.
BlackBerry also announced that payments company BPAY Group has deployed BlackBerry Spark UES Suite to help protect and prevent cyberattacks on its endpoints.
“As a leading payments provider, BPAY Group must ensure complete trust in our operations, service delivery and especially, our data integrity,” said Angela Donohoe, CIO of BPAY Group.
“BlackBerry’s AI and ML engine, with its proven ability to prevent, detect and respond to sophisticated threats, was a major consideration in our decision to deploy the BlackBerry Spark UES Suite.”
