BlackBerry vs. CrowdStrike

All cybersecurity companies claim to protect you, but there are key differences in services. When it comes to endpoint protection and other needs, be sure you know what you’re getting.

Who Has the Features that Best Protect You?

Cloud-based signatures and reputation scanning are unavailable and ineffective when you’re offline. That’s why BlackBerry cybersecurity uses Cylance AI to proactively detect and prevent new ransomware at the endpoint before it executes—for protection online or off.
Capability BlackBerry CrowdStrike
Predictive Prevention
Continually self-improving artificial intelligence (AI) based system for preventing all types of threats, known and unknown.
Reactive endpoint detection and response (EDR) focused solution.
Stop Unknown Attacks
Can stop known and unknown malware from executing before they get to an endpoint.
Not necessarily able to stop malware from running.
Offline Protection
With machine learning (ML) on the endpoint and in the cloud, endpoints are fully protected—even when access to the Internet is disrupted.
Cloud-dependent.
Zero-Day Attacks
AI/ML predicts and stops zero-day attacks before they launch.
Largely dependent on heuristics detection post file execution.
Deployment
Fully cloud-enabled, but can also be deployed over local networks.
No on-premises solution.
Mobile Defense
Mobile defense is integrated into cybersecurity platform.
Mobile solution is a standalone offering.
