BlackBerry Cybersecurity has signed a distribution agreement with Dicker Data. This will allow BlackBerry’s suite of security solutions to be distributed across Australia and New Zealand. The partnership will see Dicker Data adding several BlackBerry products to its portfolio.
These include Cylance AI, BlackBerry SecuSUITE, BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), and BlackBerry AtHoc. Dicker Data will ensure its engineers are trained and certified by BlackBerry. This will enable them to provide expert support in the region.
“Through this partnership, we are offering our reseller partners access to a range of world-class solutions and services,” said Dicker Data Executive Director and COO Vlad Mitnovetski. “These address more market sectors—from military requiring top-secret communications to SMEs looking for enterprise-grade tools, skilled cyber experts on demand, or incident management for IT outages.”
“We expect our partnership with BlackBerry to create significant value for our partners looking to grow their cybersecurity businesses, increase service revenues, and add value through additional services,” Mitnovetski added.

This deal follows Dicker Data’s recent series of strategic agreements. These are aimed at expanding its service offerings and market reach. Australia continues to rank among the top five most attacked nations globally, according to BlackBerry’s most recent report.
