BlackBerry Limited (BB - Free Report) unveiled its latest AI-driven assistant designed for Security Operations Center (SOC) teams, which is backed by Generative AI technology that offers cyber threat analysis and support as well as improves the effectiveness of Chief Information Security Officers (“CISO”) operations.
The system utilizes private, extensive language models to ensure precision and safeguard data privacy. BlackBerry's Cylance AI customers can leverage the system to predict user needs, deliver timely information without manual queries and drastically reduce research time.
The system is integrated into the Cylance Console, which will streamline workflows and elevate the user experience beyond traditional chatbot interactions, added the company. This solution will likely help to modernize SOC operations, empowering organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats and aiding CISOs in overcoming resource constraints amid a constantly evolving threat landscape. The initial release of BlackBerry's Generative AI-powered cybersecurity assistant will be limited to a select group of customers.
Per a report from Allied Market Research, the global generative AI market was valued at $10.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $191.8 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 34.1% from 2023 to 2032. This will likely boost demand for the company’s AI-driven solutions.
