Who Has the Features that Best Protect You?
Capability | BlackBerry | Microsoft Defender |
---|---|---|
AI/ML | Mature, seventh-generation AI with advanced ML models to detect never-before-seen malware. | Basic ML functionality built into the local client reliant on cloud lookups to identify anything beyond basic malware. |
Detection | Advanced memory protection abilities. | Relies on signatures for detection. |
Ransomware | Predictive Advantage modeling to stop ransomware before it executes. | Ransomware detection depends on file behavior analysis upon execution. |
Zero-day Attacks | AI/ML predicts and stops zero-day attacks before they even launch. | Utilizes heuristics to detect post file execution. |
Memory Exploit Protection and Script Control | Memory defenses protect Windows® processes with script scanning at runtime plus fine-tuned policy control without false positives. | Limited, with static scanning subject to file obfuscation tactics. |
Performance | Uses only a fraction of the system resources on the endpoint. | Larger endpoint footprint requires more system resources and network bandwidth. |
OS Compatibility | Proven effective for any OS. | Limited OS compatibility with focus on Windows® 10; subject to potential bugs when OS updates. |
