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.

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.

We use CylancePROTECT for import protection, which is why we got it. We switched from one product to another, believing this would be a better fit based on what we were informed, but it just didn't work as it should.

We are currently using Blackberry Protect as our main endpoint solution, for threat prevention, script control, and scanning of malware. This is the core functionality of the Protect module. We have the Blackberry Optics, which is the AI module of Blackberry Protect. It is called Blackberry Protect Plus Optics. The Optics feature logs all of the behavior of the servers. For example, when someone runs a PowerShell script and it blocks, it will learn the behavior and knows what to do the next time another user triggers that specific functionality. It is currently deployed on-premises but our administration dashboard is in the cloud. The agents are installed for our servers and reporting is to the Blackberry cloud.
The solution is primarily used as the last line of defense for the customer. In regards to network security technologies that focus on protecting the network, the endpoint, if something gets through, someone brings it in, the endpoint protection will actually, as our last line of defense, detect it, prevent it from executing, and in some cases, actually remediate the issue. This solution is the last line of defense within your organization for events such as a breach and it also protects users.

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.
