mx16BlackBerry CylancePROTECT was one of the first enterprise security products to apply artificial intelligence to endpoint protection. Now part of BlackBerry’s comprehensive security portfolio, the 2026 version continues to set the standard for AI-powered threat prevention with its predictive model approach.
AI-Powered Prevention First
CylancePROTECT uses a mathematical model trained on billions of files to predict whether a file is malicious before it executes. This prevention-first approach stops threats at the point of execution rather than relying on detection and response.
Key Features
- AI-based predictive threat prevention
- Device-to-device attack blocking
- Memory exploitation protection
- Ransomware prevention
- Policy-based application control
- Script control and scripting runtime protection
- EDR capabilities (CylanceOPTICS)
Verdict
CylancePROTECT is ideal for organizations seeking to move from detection-and-response to prevention-first security. The AI model can stop threats before execution — a critical advantage against ransomware and zero-day attacks.
