BlackBerry Optics is packaged with our Cylance AntiVirus. Combining the two helps us better understand threats that may or may not exist on a user's machine. The hardened policies allow us to block pretty much any and all malicious payloads that may try to find their way onto someone's machine.
  • The ability to block PowerShell and .exe files from running.
  • Alert to potential malicious issues.
  • Direct quarantining of devices if necessary.
  • No major complaints! Love everything about the service.
You can set rules based on specific scenarios to run on machines. For example, you can use this to enable or disable machine learning to block or allow things that users regularly use. You can also log specific attacks on machines (for research later).

  • It helps us to know that things are much more hardened than they were with our old "definition-based" Antivirus software.
  • We can sleep at night.
  • Reduced the amount of Virus' on users' machines.
We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one.

Practical Cylance Optics

We’re currently using Cylance optics to find and address controls and gaps according to the MITRE Attack framework. It’s been valuable to look at the template framework, match it to known gaps as identified by our GRC team, and apply endpoint specific remediation to address potential concerns by Vector.
  • Maps out solid template frameworks.
  • Makes reporting to executives easy to compile and understand.
  • The playbooks are a bit tedious and hard to understand.
  • The documentation appears somewhat lacking.
If you’re looking for a solution that enables mapping to maturity along with a specific framework and timeline, then Optics definitely makes that easier. If you have a small team and not a lot of spare time, then Optics may force some prioritization work on your team.

  • Addresses known gaps easily.
  • Quick to implement.
I haven’t seen that there is much support for it. It seems like a lot of trial and error is/will be involved.
