Video: BlackBerry Labs is Forging the Path to a Safe and Secure Future

BlackBerry Labs is a new business unit operating at the forefront of Research and Development (R&D) in the cybersecurity space.

Led by BlackBerry Chief Technology Officer Charles Eagan, BlackBerry Labs is a team of over 120 software developers, architects, researchers, product leads and security experts, each working toward the common goal of identifying, exploring and creating new technologies on the cutting edge of security innovation.

The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) alongside a dynamic threat landscape fosters a climate where organizations have to guard against new threats and breaches at all times.

With a strong focus on data science and machine learning, BlackBerry Labs investigates and facilitates technologies specifically designed to further the safety, security and data privacy for its customers.

Initial projects from BlackBerry Labs are focused on machine learning approaches to security in partnership with BlackBerry’s existing Cylance, Enterprise, and QNX business units.
