BlackBerry Ltd. makes security software and embedded software for companies, governments, and device makers. Its best-known products help organizations protect email, messages, devices, and networks, while its QNX software runs inside cars and other machines that need reliable, real-time control systems.

The company sells software licenses, subscriptions, support, and related services. Its customers are mainly large businesses, public-sector organizations, automakers, and technology companies that need secure communications or software for connected products. BlackBerry also earns money from intellectual property and technology licensing.

What makes BlackBerry different is that it sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and embedded systems. Instead of selling consumer gadgets, it supplies the software layer that helps secure work devices and power software in vehicles and industrial equipment. That gives it a role as a specialist supplier deep inside other companies’ products and operations.
