TORONTO: BlackBerry Ltd has agreed to offer anti-hacking software that last year discovered a major Android bug as the company seeks to boost its software revenue. BlackBerry’s enterprise sales force will resell Zimperium’s zIPS mobile threat protection application to customers of its mobile device management services, the two companies said in a statement. Zimperium said the product costs $10 a month per device – with bulk discounts available – and that BlackBerry will take an undisclosed cut of sales. Zimperium was founded in 2010 by a former security researcher for the Israeli military and uses complex algorithms to churn through reams of data to defend against hacking of devices running on Apple Inc’s iOS and Alphabet Inc’s Android operating systems. The service will not be available to the users of BlackBerry’s own operating system. However, BlackBerry’s two newest handsets run on Android and more such devices are expected from the company. Alphabet’s Google and Samsung started issuing monthly security fixes for Android phones soon after a Zimperium employee last year discovered the ‘Stagefright’ hacking software that allows attackers to access sensitive content.
