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.

Prepare, Prevent, Detect and Respond with the BlackBerry Cybersecurity Platform
Our 24x7 cybersecurity managed detection and response service for actionable intelligence to prevent threats and minimize alert fatigue.
Learn MoreCylancePROTECT®
Uses the power of machines, not humans, to dissect malware DNA. AI then determines if the code is safe to run.
Learn MoreCylancePERSONA™
Uses machine learning and predictive AI for user behavior analytics to dynamically adapt security policies based on risk tolerance.
Learn MoreCylancePROTECT®
An AI-based endpoint security solution that stops malware—no human intervention, cloud connections, signatures, heuristics or sandboxes required.
Learn MoreBlackBerry® UEM
Unified endpoint management for stronger endpoint protection and response across all devices.
Learn MoreBlackBerry® Alert and BlackBerry® AtHoc
Unified endpoint management for stronger endpoint protection and response across all devices.
Learn MoreCylanceGATEWAY™
Zero Trust network access providing greater security controls while improving the user experience for a distributed workforce.
Learn MoreCylanceOPTICS®
Extends the threat prevention delivered by BlackBerry Protect using AI to identify and prevent widespread security incidents.
