Cylance is an AI-based endpoint security product line, now part of Arctic Wolf, whose prevention, detection, and response technology powers Arctic Wolf's Aurora Endpoint Security.
Cylance is a pioneer of AI-based endpoint security. Its technology uses artificial intelligence to prevent, detect, and respond to threats on endpoints, and it includes products such as CylancePROTECT for endpoint protection and CylanceOPTICS for endpoint detection and response (EDR).
Cylance was previously a BlackBerry cybersecurity product line. In 2025, Arctic Wolf completed its acquisition of Cylance from BlackBerry, and Cylance's prevention, detection, and response capabilities are now integrated into Arctic Wolf's Aurora Endpoint Security.
MSPs and internal IT teams use Cylance for CylancePROTECT (Endpoint Protection), CylanceOPTICS (EDR), CylanceGUARD (Managed Detection & Response).
Best for: teams that need to detect and stop malware, ransomware, and advanced threats across laptops, servers, and mobile devices.
Cylance pricing depends on your organization's size, the modules you enable, and your contract term. Tools in this category are usually licensed by subscription, billed per endpoint or per user, and scale with the users, endpoints, or sites you cover.
Public rate cards are not always available, and many vendors set final pricing through a quote or their MSP and reseller channel. To get an accurate Cylance price for your environment, request a quote from Cylance directly, or ask a managed IT provider that supports Cylance to bundle licensing, deployment, and management into one predictable monthly cost.
