A BlackBerry Case Study
A decades-old UK gaming company that recently expanded its business online engaged BlackBerry Cybersecurity Consulting after recognising it lacked the security maturity to prevent fraud. Because many games were sourced from third parties, leadership feared attackers could exploit vulnerabilities in applications and business processes to cheat the site and steal customer funds.
BlackBerry conducted a full assessment—code reviews, web-application testing, phishing and physical social‑engineering exercises—and demonstrated real exploits (including intercepting trivia questions to auto-win £50,000) before returning the funds. The engagement closed critical application vulnerabilities, improved monitoring and incident-response plans, and raised employee security awareness, materially reducing the company’s fraud risk.
