Video: Ryan Permeh on Leading AI Innovation at BlackBerry
Ryan Permeh has been developing security solutions to protect endpoints for the bulk of his career. With BlackBerry’s acquisition of Cylance, he now gets to turn his focus to the kind of endpoint that can go up to 200 mph.
With the rise of autonomous vehicles, there is an entirely new kind of inspiration for safety and security. The artificial intelligence (AI) models that he created are hitting the open road!
Ryan Permeh is the Chief Security Architect and Senior Vice President at BlackBerry. He works within the office of the CTO to define technology strategy and architecture that will integrate technology across BlackBerry and focus it towards reducing customer risk.
