BlackBerry Limited announced Forrester found that BlackBerry Cylance’s AI-driven endpoint security products delivered a 99 percent return on investment.

Commissioned by BlackBerry Cylance, Forrester conducted the Total Economic Impact (TEI) framework for organizations considering CylancePROTECT and CylanceOPTICS. As part of the framework, Forrester interviewed the head of cybersecurity at a multinational manufacturing company running CylancePROTECT and CylanceOPTICS on 45,000 endpoints in 500 locations across 14 countries. The organization experienced the following quantified benefits:

• $8.4 million savings from decommissioning a legacy on-premise endpoint security solution.
• 10% improvement in security team productivity enabling teams to proactively focus on threat hunting instead of reactive troubleshooting.
• 25% reduction in cost of a major security breach by using AI to prevent malicious applications and attacks from executing.
• 95% reduction in lost time for end-users due to faster threat investigation and remediation.
• 97% reduction in machine reimaging meaning less lost end-user time and time saved by IT team.
• Elimination of manual software audits due to greater control over employee software downloads with BlackBerry Cylance.
• No major malware attacks following the installation of CylancePROTECT and CylanceOPTICS.
