The iconic Australian company, which provides plumbing, bathroom and waterworks products to residential and commercial customers, has deployed the BlackBerry Cylance AI platform to help protect employees, end-points and systems against cyberthreats, malware and ransomware. SYDNEY – Novem– BlackBerry Limited today announced at the 2019 BlackBerry World Tour – Sydney that global plumbing supplies company Reece Group (Reece Group ASX: REH), has deployed BlackBerry Cylance technology to protect thousands of end-points across its retail stores and offices in Australia and the United States. Reece Group Chooses BlackBerry Cylance to Protect Against Cyber Threats On Reece’s end, Wang added that the IT team no longer has to worry about “mundane” operational activity due to Cylance being cloud-based, including patching the servers that ran the Symantec solution as well as having to push out regular updates. “The company evaluated three vendors against a testing criteria and systematically tested the products and Cylance came out on top of that.” “Cylance wasn’t necessarily solving any problems, but it was more that Reece was looking to the future,” Wang said. Wang admitted Reece did not necessarily have many issues with the legacy antivirus, Symantec, as malware wasn’t a regular problem compared to other organisations. “The legacy was up for renewal and leading up to that, ran the EOI, a proof of concept and proof of value leading up to that point, and made a decision with another month up Reece’s sleeve to actually start deploying before the other products expired,” Wang said. The deal centres around Reece’s adoption of BlackBerry Cylance’s platform, with Cyber Risk advising on tuning in best operational practices, developing the zones and policies before deployment, and contributing to the development of a proof of concept.ĬyberRisk director Leong Wang told CRN that the company took the opportunity to introduce Reece to Cylance after the distributor put up an expression of interest (EOI) after its existing antivirus solution was up for renewal.
