Cylance – $1.4B (2018)
Cylance developed trailblazing security products leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms. At the time of acquisition, they were adding over 1,700 new endpoints daily to its next-gen antivirus solutions.
Owning Cylance‘s maturing AI security capabilities perfectly aligned with BlackBerry‘s future roadmap. It equipped them to combat rapidly evolving malware and insider threats using predictive methods.
Months later, BlackBerry integrated Cylance into core product suites for unified endpoint protection. Together, they staunchly defend 500M-plus endpoints worldwide from impending cyber attacks.
