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.
