About CylancePROTECT

Blackberry's CylancePROTECT uses machine learning to detect abnormal activity on your system and to prevent threats from viruses, malware, ransomware, and malicious websites. Since it uses little computing power, CylancePROTECTdoes not affect the smooth running of Genetec™ appliances, allowing you to benefit from proactive threat detection without monopolizing crucial computer resources. In addition, with no Internet connection or signature updates required, CylancePROTECTprotects remote endpoints connected to the Genetec™ system.

Online mode

When CylancePROTECT is online, it is able to report its status and receive policy updates from Blackberry. Online mode requires an active Internet connection.

Offline mode

When CylancePROTECT is offline, your CylancePROTECT appliance continues to be protected from threats. However, it does not receive policy updates from Blackberry. When the Internet is unavailable, CylancePROTECT automatically switches to Offline mode.
