BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity Reviews

I am using CylancePROTECT as an active learning algorithm. We installed it on almost 20,000 servers and virtual machines.

We chose the solution because it doesn't have daily updates, which is important for us in healthcare IT, where network usage and connectivity to hospitals matter.

We had a major incident where CylancePROTECT found malware in one customer's file that other antivirus programs missed.

The solution is used to protect our endpoints. It can be used for computers and mobile devices.

The solution automatically protects the endpoints from any antivirus and cyber attacks.

I used the solution in my company after we tested it against a ransomware attack. In my company, we presented CylancePROTECT with the challenge of dealing with real-time ransomware attacks, during which we saw that it works very well. In my company, we use the tool to control our devices since its device control feature is excellent. Compared to the other vendors in the market, CylancePROTECT has a much shorter turnaround time for policy applications. Otherwise, we can have granular controls over what can be run on the endpoint machines when it comes to areas involving scripting or running PowerShell scripts. Scripting or running PowerShell scripts can be controlled very well through CylancePROTECT.

The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required. The product's price should be more competitive.

CylancePROTECT is our antivirus replacement that was deployed on every workstation and server. We intend to block anything malicious, except we had to maintain a list of white lists. We had white lists from members to protect certain areas of Cylance.

We had to whitelist and maintain it. There were around over 200 exemptions within our environment that I didn't like. With CrowdStrike, we have two exemptions so far.

CylancePROTECT is a fairly decent antivirus. As far as I know, we haven't had any incidents of known malicious code executed on a device that had CylancePROTECT. It was able to block everything that was thrown at it. The solution's dashboards were pretty clean and very clear to understand.

We use it for protecting our endpoints. We have a specific use case involving a closed and secure environment devoid of internet connectivity, where Cylance is utilized due to its ability to operate without requiring updates for at least twelve months.

We integrate it into our comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, specifically for antivirus and antiviral purposes. CylancePROTECT provides comprehensive endpoint security, including EDR capabilities. Additionally, BlackBerry now offers XDR, similar to other companies like CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. 

The AI-driven threat detection of CylancePROTECT has significantly enhanced our organization's security posture. This company has pioneered an AI-based engine that doesn't rely on signatures, thus offering protection for every computer, server, and endpoint without requiring specific signatures for malware or other attacks.

Cylance stands out for pioneering the delivery of a complete AI-driven antivirus engine that relies primarily, if not solely, on AI and machine learning for threat identification. Remarkably, it identifies over 99.7% of global threats.

The product is easy to implement and deploy.

I cannot control the agent. If the agent is installed on a machine, then it'll report back. If I have 15 machines on an agent, I cannot see that 15 machines unless I install the agent on each.

The solution is not stable right now. The performance isn't so good.

It's a hard product to maintain. 

I have found support to be quite bad. 

We want them to offer better pricing. 

I direct our design and engineering teams, and we craft solutions for on-premises or autonomous networks in the industrial industry, such as oil and gas, water, and manufacturing.

We use this solution as a layered defense for the defense strategy for our on-premises clients. An attractive thing about this solution is that it uses AI official algorithms to not only discover known stuff but also to discover anomalous behavior and things that are out of the ordinary. It is not just signature-based; it is an algorithm or AI and machine learning.

From an administrative overhead point of view, there is a 75% reduction in administrating the solution.

The product is perfect for the business that I am working in. It works as needed.

The solution provides us with the protection that the company needs against ransomware, malware, and viruses.
