BlackBerry to Sell Cylance to Arctic Wolf

Arctic Wolf announced plans to acquire Cylance from BlackBerry to add native endpoint security to its Aurora Platform—which already includes MDR, vulnerability management, security awareness, and cloud security—positioning the company to compete more directly with vendors like CrowdStrike and SentinelOne; the mixed cash-and-stock deal is expected to close in BlackBerry’s fourth fiscal quarter, with assurances of continued support for existing Cylance customers, while BlackBerry retains its Secure Communications portfolio and will act as a reseller and shareholder.
