Blackberry may buy Cylance for as much as $1.5 Billion.

In years, I agree, right now many products fancies themselves as AI for marketing and hype but their Ai's brain is big like a peanut...

Cylance didn't market themselves as assistive, they claimed to destroy signature-based AVs, and they fail.

And it failed ugly, I never deluded myself with Cylance, never went from a deceptive propaganda and now to the control of the world's greatest spies

We must remember, this isn't endpoints, it's customers.

I know one particular organization that has close to 40,000 endpoints with Cylance on it, and Cylance is actually really expensive in the enterprise realms. Cylance closed a huge deal with Watchguard to switch all Watchguard appliances to Cylance from Trend, that was implemented in a firmware update a few months ago. There was talk of Fortinet possibly taking in Cylance, but they grabbed ZoneFox instead. Fujitsu grabbed Cylance for 100K endpoints and a few other big deals.

Nevertheless, what Blackberry will do is still up in the air. My prediction is - Cylance will cease to exist, the consumer product will be closed down in short order and BB will integrate Cylance into their Unified Endpoint Management system nobody cares about because it still has the name 'blackberry'.

Puts all the Cylance hate into perspective. Probably explains why we have devs from competing orgs trash-talking Cylance in every thread like a r/niceguy type trash-talks a girls new boyfriend.
