BlackBerry partners with Intel to detect cryptojacking malware>
Tech Republic – Brandon Vigliarolo
BlackBerry has added a new feature to its endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform Optics: An Intel-powered cryptojacking malware detection system. The update to Optics specifically adds CPU telemetry from Intel Threat Detection Technology (TDT), a hardware-based security solution that Intel said is necessary because “software-only cyber solutions are no longer enough.”

BlackBerry claims its cryptojacking EDR has “virtually no processor impact” on Windows 10 systems that Optics runs on, allowing “organizations [to] detect and mitigate cryptojacking with greater precision and consistent results across all types of workloads.” BlackBerry Optics is powered by machine learning that can adapt to evolving security situations, in BlackBerry’s words, “without human intervention.”
