BlackBerry Introduces CylanceMDR Pro: Expansive Platform Ecosystem Powered by AI

Published

on

Unified approach to predictive cyber-defense with simple pricing, increases visibility and boosts security posture, without changing existing software stack

WATERLOO, ON, July 17, 2024 /CNW/ — BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced the launch of CylanceMDR™ Pro, a cutting-edge managed detection and response (MDR) service built on an Open XDR platform powered by AI. Designed to tackle the growing challenges of modern cybersecurity, CylanceMDR Pro overcomes the operational burden facing security teams that must defend against increasingly sophisticated adversaries across expanding attack surfaces with limited resources and talent shortage constraints.

CylanceMDR Pro is the ideal solution for growing businesses looking to quickly advance their cybersecurity capabilities without overhauling their existing security infrastructure or hiring teams of analysts and threat hunters. CylanceMDR Pro’s comprehensive XDR architecture integrates seamlessly with existing security tools, providing deep visibility across the entire IT infrastructure without the need to rip and replace any existing tooling. With over 300 platform integrations, the solution transforms business data and applications into powerful security sensors, enabling the detection and prevention of threats that other solutions might miss.

“Despite organizations making significant investments in personnel and technology, many haven’t seen a commensurate improvement in their risk envelope.  CylanceMDR Pro is a game-changer for organizations seeking confidence in their cybersecurity posture,” said Nathan Jenniges, Senior Vice President and General Manager, BlackBerry Cybersecurity. “It is a single platform solution, that is easy to deploy, ensuring that threat detection data is unified across endpoints, networks, cloud environments and beyond.”

“Across the industry, BlackBerry has observed close to a 250% increase in unique attacks per minute in the last year alone, with a continued trend in our latest Global Threat Intelligence Report,” said Jenniges. “The effectiveness of any MDR depends heavily on its underlying platform, its experts, and the full breadth of services delivered. “Our AI-driven approach, combined with our expert security team, delivers unmatched protection and peace of mind, allowing businesses to focus on what they do best.”

Expansive ecosystem with AI at its core

CylanceMDR Pro is compatible with all the security tooling a company already has, so they can easily use existing investments. This reduces the total cost of ownership by maximizing their current investments and budget. CylanceMDR Pro pulls telemetry across all attack surfaces, including endpoint, network, cloud, SaaS, identity, and email, to more accurately discern attack signals from noise with higher fidelity detections and rapid response to threats. CylanceMDR Pro is powered by Cylance® AI, the longest-running and continuously improving predictive AI in the market. It has consistently outperformed other leading AIs in 3rd party testing. Cylance AI is informed with proprietary intelligence and used pervasively to analyze telemetry for attack signals, prioritize and present structured cases for faster human-led investigation and response, and proactively stop attacks before damage can occur. 

“The cybersecurity landscape is complicated. Being able to quickly onboard and use what is already in place is a huge boon for any organization – SMB to Enterprise — that needs to solve Its security problems fast. It’s hard to incorporate multiple offerings, but BlackBerry can make it simple with CylanceMDR Pro,” said Craig Robinson, Research Vice President of Security Services, IDC.

CylanceMDR Pro will be available July 31, 2024. To learn more please go to www.blackberry.com/cylancemdrpro

Dynamic Pricing Raises New Questions for Forwarders Evaluating Automated Freight Quoting

Published

on

By

As freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software, Aircon founder Chris Condon says buyers should measure more than response speed. He urges teams evaluating freight quote automation software to count total operator time, including review and correction, and to check how quotes hold up when shipment details change.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As more freight forwarders adopt AI freight quoting software to keep pace with shifting rates, a practical question is emerging: how much of the time saved is later spent checking and fixing what the software produces? Chris Condon, founder and CEO of Aircon, says buyers evaluating freight quote automation software should look at dynamic pricing alongside the work required to turn a supplier’s rate into a customer commitment. His comments follow G2’s 2026 AI Agents Report, updated October 14, which examines the operating costs of reviewing and correcting automated work.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

“Think about a hotel when a major concert comes to town,” Condon said. “Demand goes up, there are only so many rooms, and prices can rise. Freight responds to supply and demand too. The forwarder’s job is to work out whether the available price and service meet the customer’s need.”

Freight pricing reflects more than demand. Costs, contract terms, and shipment requirements all shape the final number. A changing rate tells the forwarder something about one particular option… building a customer offer still requires checking service conditions, outstanding confirmations, and the forwarder’s own commercial rules.

That verification step is where automated freight quoting is put to the test. Condon refers to it as decision assurance: organizing the inputs and evidence behind a proposed commitment, flagging open questions, and keeping a record of the decision, while the forwarder retains judgment and the customer relationship.

“A higher rate can still be the right choice if it supports the required service,” Condon said. “What matters is knowing what the price includes, which conditions apply and what still has to be confirmed before the customer relies on the answer.”

G2’s report draws on a July survey of 1,019 business technology decisionmakers across industries. Forty-five percent of respondents said oversight and rework consume more than a quarter of their expected productivity gains. The findings are self-reported and cover enterprise AI adoption broadly; the report is not specific to freight.

For teams comparing freight quoting software for forwarders, Condon suggests looking beyond response speed. He recommends measuring total operator time, including review and correction, and asking how any freight quote management software handles changes to shipment details…and whether a second operator can understand the conditions behind an earlier quote.

“The practical standard is to give the team time back and keep the judgment behind the customer commitment clear,” Condon said.

About Aircon:

Aircon provides decision-assurance software for freight forwarders, supporting the review that takes place before a quote becomes a customer commitment. It preserves inputs, evidence, and decision state within the forwarder’s existing workflow, while the forwarder retains the customer relationship and commercial judgment.

DataLogix AI Launches Workplace Video Resources for Businesses Exploring AI and Robotics Training

Published

New calculator, business owner guide and inquiry form help companies assess workplace video alongside existing business records.

UNION, N.J., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DataLogix AI, a division of Trailblaze Solutions LLC, has launched online resources to help business owners explore first-person workplace video for AI and robotics training. The new resources include a workplace-video overview, an adjustable revenue calculator, a business owner guide and an inquiry form for discussing potential fit.

The launch adds a second starting point alongside DataLogix AI’s existing focus on licensing business records. Owners can compare written operating history, such as internal email, chat, tickets and project records, with newly recorded footage showing the hands, tools and steps involved in approved physical tasks. Businesses with both types of activity can explore each separately.

The workplace-video resources describe possible tasks in areas including warehousing, maintenance, construction, production and vehicle service. These examples are discussion starting points, not confirmed eligible categories. The guidance asks owners to review participant consent, recording permissions, safety, equipment and footage acceptance criteria before beginning.

The calculator models a four-week scenario using the number of participating workers, accepted recording hours per worker and an assumed payment rate. Owners can optionally enter employee compensation and other business costs. All figures are illustrative. The calculator does not establish an offered rate, forecast earnings or determine eligibility, and a result after entered deductions is not net profit.

The accompanying guide explains how the two opportunities differ in preparation, rights and economics. It includes questions about who may approve participation, what can be recorded or licensed, who may receive the material and how payment would be determined. Owners can review the resources without uploading company records or workplace footage.

Businesses interested in learning more can use the inquiry form to describe their company and the opportunity they would like to discuss. An inquiry is not enrollment, recording permission or a payment offer. Program availability, equipment and commercial terms require separate confirmation, and payment may be zero.
