BlackBerry has announced a long-term software and services agreement to strengthen Malaysia’s cybersecurity posture.
The landmark deal will enable the Malaysian Government to leverage the full suite of BlackBerry cybersecurity solutions and support the integrity of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) while upskilling the nation’s workforce with advanced cybersecurity technology and training.
The Malaysian public sector will benefit from secure, reliable, real-time access to BlackBerry software and services, hosted in a sovereign cloud. This includes BlackBerry’s cybersecurity solutions powered by Cylance AI to predict and prevent cyberattacks, NATO-certified BlackBerry SecuSUITE for secure communications, BlackBerry UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) to protect government data among a roaming workforce, and BlackBerry AtHoc used by governments globally for critical event management and incident response.
Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said: “To continue to grow, prosper and keep our nation’s data and citizens safe, Malaysia must forge international partnerships that embrace cutting-edge technology and invite foreign investment to rapidly scale up and train a world-class cybersecurity workforce. We are pleased to collaborate with BlackBerry to support Malaysia’s goal to be a leading example of cyber-resilience – with the promise of data sovereignty, for our government information, data and communications.”
