What is 
CylancePROTECT
?

CylancePROTECT
 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.
CylancePROTECT
 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
  • BlackBerry
     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 
CylancePROTECT
. 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
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
CylancePROTECT
 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.
