RE:https://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2022/03/the-road-to-success-Really interesting read, Nelly Thanks for posting it. Here's a chunk of the piece:
“We wanted to keep the security team as lean as possible,” Suhada explains. “One of the criteria I was looking for in that regard was artificial intelligence and machine learning. Managed detection and response was another major driver.
“We quickly determined that the company needed something that could protect both modern and legacy infrastructure, integrating readily with other platforms. The solution also needed to be resource-light, with full local support from the vendor,” Suhada continues.
After evaluating several different vendors, Bluebird ultimately chose to partner with BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Protect® endpoint protection platform (EPP) and BlackBerry Optics®, for end-point detection and response (EDR), are automated, “prevention-first” solutions that use AI and machine learning to defend against malware infection and potential data breaches. For example, a recent breach attempt against an Indonesian company was foiled when BlackBerry’s Cylance® AI engine detected and eliminated the presence of cryptojacking malware. BlackBerry Guard® is a 24x7 managed XDR (extended detection and response) service that offers companies access to trained threat prevention experts on a subscription-based, 24x7x364 basis. The service augments lean security teams to add proactive threat hunting and around-the-clock breach prevention, saving time and resources, while avoiding challenges like staffing shortages and alert fatigue.
BlackBerry partner PT Telekomunikasi Selular, part of Indonesia’s largest telecom network and digital services provider Telkomsel, also played a significant role in the security solution implementation for Bluebird.
“Alongside BlackBerry, Telkomsel has been incredibly proactive in supporting us,” says Suhada. “With their help, we’ve already completed the majority of our implementation, and they provide both solutions and manpower whenever we run into a technical issue. Working with them has been awesome.”
“As companies like Bluebird Group become ‘digital-first,’ they must also become ‘cybersecurity-first.’ However, often they don’t know where to start, how much it costs, and what skills and tools are required,” says Ceppy Djakaria, Vice President of Corporate Account Management at Telkomsel. “Together with BlackBerry, we are putting intelligent cyber technologies and skills in reach of any sized business, to help protect, enable and defend against new threats.”
For its part, BlackBerry Protect proved its value to Bluebird almost immediately. During the implementation process, the solution detected cryptojacking malware. As a result, the company was able to quickly isolate and eliminate the malicious software before it could cause any damage.
