Vendor from the SecTec portfolio
BlackBerry
BlackBerry's cybersecurity portfolio now focuses on Secure Communications, Unified Endpoint Management, critical communications, and highly certified communication environments for government, defense, and critical infrastructure.
Vendor Focus
BlackBerry provides solutions for organizations that need secure communications, mobile and work device management, policy control, and reliable coordination during critical events.
The BlackBerry portfolio consists of BlackBerry SecuSUITE for sovereign encrypted communications, BlackBerry UEM for device, application, and policy management, and BlackBerry AtHoc for critical events, crisis communications, and alerting.
BlackBerry UEM is especially relevant where an organization needs to manage trusted devices, users, applications, and data containers in environments with strong sovereignty, auditability, and compliance requirements. UEM helps enforce device posture, control access to internal resources, protect data in transit and at rest, and separate work data from personal device use.
Solutions and Products
BlackBerry SecuSUITE
Certified secure voice, text, and file communication with sovereign control of infrastructure, keys, content, and metadata.
BlackBerry UEM
Unified Endpoint Management for centralized control of mobile and work devices, users, applications, policies, compliance, and secure mobility. It enforces device compliance, strengthens access control, supports containerized work data, and fits trusted sovereign deployment models.
BlackBerry UEM Secure Productivity
Managed work environment for email, files, documents, collaboration, and internal applications inside a protected container, enabling mobile productivity while keeping sensitive work data under policy control.
BlackBerry UEM Policy and Compliance
Management of configurations, profiles, certificates, application approvals, device posture, and auditable security policies for organizations that must control who accesses protected systems and from which device.
BlackBerry AtHoc
Critical Event Management platform for alerts, crisis coordination, live dashboards, and two-way communication during incidents.
Secure Communications Services
Services and certified deployments for government, public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure.
Typical Use Cases
- a government or critical organization needs sovereign, certified, and auditable communications
- mobile and work devices need to be managed through secure policies, compliance, and application control
- a regulated environment needs to connect user identity, trusted device state, and secure access to internal resources
- the organization needs reliable alerting and coordination during critical events
- the customer is addressing confidential communications, secure mobility, and operational resilience in a regulated environment
Attack coverage and defensive context
MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise version 19.1 is used as a reference model. The mapping is a SecTec expert interpretation and does not imply endorsement by MITRE.
Practical attack scenarios
- Phishing and identity abuseAn adversary manipulates a user, obtains credentials, or abuses a trusted account to gain access to the environment.
- Credential theftAn adversary obtains passwords, tokens, sessions, or other authentication material and uses it to expand access.
- Public application or API abuseAn adversary exploits a vulnerable web application, API, client-side code, or software component for initial access and execution.
- Cloud and SaaS compromiseAn adversary abuses cloud identities, permissions, configurations, or application integrations to access services and data.
- Lateral movement inside the networkAfter initial access, an adversary discovers systems, accounts, and services and moves toward higher-value assets.
- Data exfiltration and leakageAn adversary searches for, collects, and transfers sensitive data from endpoints, cloud services, email, or internal repositories.
- Ransomware and availability impactAn adversary encrypts or manipulates data, stops services, inhibits recovery, and creates operational impact.
- Supply chain and trusted accessAn adversary abuses a supplier, software dependency, external access path, or trusted relationship to bypass normal controls.
- Attacks on OT and IoT environmentsAn adversary discovers industrial or connected devices, abuses remote access and network services, and threatens operational availability.
- Reconnaissance and attack surface mappingAn adversary collects information about people, systems, cloud services, and internet-facing infrastructure and searches for a viable initial-access path.
- Business Email Compromise and mailbox takeoverAn adversary takes over or impersonates a trusted email identity and abuses communications for fraud, payment diversion, data collection, or further phishing.
- Privilege escalation and persistenceAn adversary expands privileges, creates or modifies accounts and policies, and establishes repeatable access to systems, identities, or cloud environments.
- Defense evasion and control impairmentAn adversary hides activity, removes evidence, disguises code, or weakens security tools, encryption, firewalls, and recovery mechanisms.
- Insider threat and authorized access abuseAn insider or an adversary with a valid account abuses legitimate permissions to discover, copy, manipulate, or transfer sensitive data.
- DDoS and resource exhaustionAn adversary floods a network, application, API, or endpoint and exhausts capacity, connections, or compute resources to reduce service availability.
- BOLA – Broken Object Level AuthorizationAn adversary changes an object identifier in an API request and gains access to data or operations belonging to another user, account, or tenant.
- BFLA – Broken Function Level AuthorizationA regular or unauthenticated user invokes an administrative or privileged API function that should not be available to them.
- Broken API authentication and token abuseAn adversary bypasses login, password recovery, or token validation and assumes the identity of a user or service.
- Credential stuffing and password sprayingAn adversary automatically tests leaked username-password pairs or a small set of common passwords against many accounts.
- MFA fatigue, push bombing, and interceptionAn adversary floods a user with MFA prompts, intercepts a code, or uses social engineering to make the user approve an unauthorized sign-in.
- Session and access-token hijackingAn adversary steals a cookie, OAuth token, or another session artifact and accesses a service without re-entering a password or MFA.
