BlackBerry Limited is a cybersecurity software and services company protecting enterprises and governments against cyber threats. Once the dominant smartphone manufacturer, BlackBerry transformed its business following the decline of its handset market share, pivoting to enterprise software and security solutions. The company provides endpoint security, encryption, unified endpoint management, and embedded systems security across industries including automotive, healthcare, financial services, and government. BlackBerry's QNX software platform powers embedded systems in millions of vehicles, medical devices, and industrial equipment. The company's Cylance AI-based endpoint protection and BlackBerry UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) serve enterprise customers globally. Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, BlackBerry maintains strong relationships with government and defense agencies that value its security heritage. The company faces intense competition in cybersecurity markets but benefits from high switching costs and regulated industry requirements. BlackBerry continues to invest in AI-powered security technologies and IoT protection while pursuing strategic partnerships.
