Stellar Cyber, a Double Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Champion in the 2023 Homeland Security Awards Program, and the innovator of Open XDR, has entered into a new partnership with BlackBerry to deliver a comprehensive threat detection and response solution for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and enterprises.
By integrating Stellar’s Open XDR platform with CylanceENDPOINT by Blackberry, security operations for enterprises, and MSSPs, can simplify their security stacks, increase productivity, and reduce the time it takes to detect and respond to cyber threats.
CylanceENDPOINT leverages advanced AI to detect threats before they cause damage, minimizing business disruptions and the costs incurred by cyberattacks.
When combined with the Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform, organizations benefit from an augmented threat detection and response platform that collects and correlates data from all existing security tools to protect the entire enterprise attack surface beyond the endpoint, including the cloud, software as a service (SaaS) applications, and virtual machines.

“We have invested strategically in Stellar Cyber and BlackBerry technologies to help us provide fast detection and response capabilities to our managed service provider (MSP) customers,” explains Michael Crean, CEO of Solutions Granted, a Top 250 MSSP.

“This has paid off in our market differentiation as an MSSP.”
“At this scale of deployment, tight integrations and close partnership relationships are imperative for us to deliver the success our customers need and deserve.”
As part of the agreement, the Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform leverages rich telemetry data from Cylance ENDPOINT to swiftly identify potential threats, backed with built-in response capabilities that enable security analysts to streamline their threat detection and response process by taking remediation actions directly from the Stellar Cyber UI.

“We’re thrilled that BlackBerry is taking the Stellar Cyber Open XDR platform to market,” said Andrew Homer, VP Strategic Alliances, Stellar Cyber.
“Our companies bring together two best-in-class detection and response capabilities where we see the entire threat landscape most exposed to adversary attacks.”
“Together, we are committed to making security simpler and less onerous for businesses so they can focus on what they do best, and we look forward to delivering turnkey solutions to our mutual MSSP and enterprise customers.”

American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards, the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, now entering its Ninth Year, recognizes industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness – Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders as well as federal, state and municipal government agencies in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.
STELLAR Cyber (First of Two)
Best Network Security Solution
-
In most situations, Network Detection & Response (NDR) tools alone are not enough to provide comprehensive security.
-
Analysts must also be able to see logs, real-time traffic, and user behaviors to detect complex attacks. Stellar Cyber’s pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, delivers built-in NDR and next-generation SIEM, UEBA, and TIP functionality to give analysts a full picture of what’s happening in the network.
-
Today’s cyberattacks occur across multiple vectors, so using a single tool to detect networks, user activities, or endpoints can’t present a complete picture of these attacks. Stellar Cyber Open XDR features enterprise-class NDR capabilities and correlates and analyzes that data with data from its SIEM, UEBA and TIP functions to detect complex attacks before they can do real damage.
(Security products are getting more complicated to deploy, maintain, and use, leaving lean security teams struggling to deliver consistent security across their on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. See how Stellar Cyber gives lean security teams a better way to protect their diverse environments, delivering automation that works for them, powered by Open XDR. Courtesy of Stellar Cyber and YouTube.)
-
The Open XDR Platform also democratizes security by combining all this functionality under a single, easy-to-use dashboard that can be trained within a day and operated by lower-level analysts (who are easier to hire in the highly constricted security analyst environment).
-
As such, the platform brings world-class security within reach for SMEs and MSPs looking to expand their offerings with managed security services.
STELLAR Cyber (Second of Two)
Best Unified Incident & Event Management Solution
-
Stellar Cyber’s cybersecurity software makes industry-leading security capabilities accessible to small/medium enterprises (SMEs) that might not have a large staff of security analysts or a large collection of security tools.
-
Stellar Cyber’s pre-configured, single-license SecOps platform, powered by Open XDR, delivers built-in NDR, next-generation SIEM, UEBA, and TIP capabilities and integrates with existing third-party tools such as EDRs.
(Discover how AI and Machine Learning transform security operations in this insightful 1-minute video discussion featuring F5’s Buu Lam and Stephen Salinas, and learn how these advanced technologies empower security teams to achieve better outcomes and enhance cybersecurity strategies. Courtesy of Stellar Cyber and YouTube.)
-
The Open XDR platform automatically normalizes and enriches data from all sources, correlates and analyzes the data with an AI- and machine learning-driven engine, and reports actionable incidents that analysts can immediately act upon to stop nascent attacks before they become a problem.
-
This reduces hacker dwell time in the customer’s network and ensures analysts look at real issues rather than chasing alerts and manually digging through data to find the needles in the haystack.

*Stellar Cyber is a Returning ‘ASTORS’ Champion, having secured Wins in the 2022 and 2021 Awards Programs.
The pinnacle of the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Government Excellence Awards is the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.
In 2023 this exclusive sold-out event featured at ISC East, well over two hundred representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines – and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.
Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.
Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.
Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.
