I’m sure you all heard about the major security incidence known as Log4Shell, which Caesar has classified at the maximum level 10 for severity. This relates to major vulnerabilities in the Apache Log4j Java library, extensively used by the industry. Let me provide you with an update from a BlackBerry perspective.

This is obviously a rapidly evolving situation. And unlike many software companies who are still struggling to understand the impact, we track and categorize our product portfolio, open source software content. This means that we’re able to very quickly identify which of our product uses this library and create mitigation and release patches as the threats evolve. We can confirm that none of our core products, namely Protect, Optics, UEM, QNX, RTOS and Hypervisor, none of those products are negatively impacted by these vulnerabilities. Furthermore, our suite of cyber products, particularly our Protect, EPP and Guard managed service can help customers prevent malware and ransomware that bad actors could try to execute using these vulnerabilities.
