As someone new to the cybersecurity space, could you explain what are the differences between blackberry and crowdstrike? Are they in direct competition with each other? Cheers mate!
Antonio on the magic quadrant review Microsoft scores higher than Crowdstrike. Yet Cylance who score much lower has been shown to be far more effective than Microsoft.
Cylance has been AI long before any other vendor yet BlackBerry decided not to go after the same market and concentrate on the long term goal of convergence between QNX and Cylance.
Do you think Cylance if marketed more towards Crowdstrike's customers could compete? Why are Governments and regulated industries choosing Cylance ?
Well Blackberry has been trying to gain traction in the SMB space over the last year or so. We do not have much information on what is going on yet.
It seems that distribution is paramount in this industry, but it is hard to get a precise read on it unless you are inside the industry.
I bought $BB for its IoT moat, which I can see very clearly. Banks and govs choose Blackberry because it is widely trusted. They are already customers => distribution.
Thanks so much for replying I always enjoy your insights.
I think BlackBerry's purchase of Cylance really annoyed the resellera and many switched to selling crowdstrike. As you say distribution is a huge part of it.
I don't disagree about Microsoft. However on Gartner's magic quadrant from CrowdStrikes website Microsoft is the only solution rated higher than CrowdStrike- I really don't get that.

My pleasure, friend!
That could well be the case. Let´s see what the company does regarding the potential sale of the division.
Yes it will be interesting, I think we may see at-hoc sold and cylance spun off ?
I’d love that.
This what I was referring to. I do agree about Cylnce losing customers after the Blackberry buy out. Many resellers were very upset.

Thanks for offering, Brody! I see that you work at Crowdstrike?
