We’re excited to share that the VMware Security Products Team and Carbon Black is announcing a new Security vExperts program. If you’re not familiar with vExperts, the program is designed to recognize individuals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge of VMware technologies with the broader community. While the vExpert program has been around for over 10 years, this is the first year in which we’re introducing the Security vExpert sub-program and badge!
Those awarded Security vExpert status will be dubbed “thought leaders” in their field and will be recognized as advocates of VMware Security products like VMware Carbon Black Cloud, Workspace ONE, NSX, Secure State and beyond. They love “giving back” to the community and are willing to go beyond their day job to share their knowledge with their peers— whether through writing (blogging, books, etc.), participating in the VMTN Security Forums, Carbon Black User Exchange (UEX), Carbon Black Howler Program, or public speaking at events like VMworld and VMUG.
What’s in it for you? Well, becoming a Security vExpert is not without its perks. In addition to the cool badge, we provide you with some great opportunities that give you the recognition you deserve. That in includes amplification of any articles you write, exposure at VMware’s physical and virtual events, and frequent opportunities for you to interface and provide feedback to the product group. There’s even an exclusive vExpert party at VMworld, along with a bunch of other perks that you can find about HERE.
To apply you must be a current vExpert as well as someone who is already evangelizing VMware Security. We will be reviewing the first applications to be part of the program in March and we from then on will be review applications on a yearly basis.
If you missed the vExpert 2020 Applications, you can sign up to be notified for the vExpert 2020 Second half application. Applications for sub-programs will not be open until March 2021 but you can get into the vExpert program soon.
We can’t wait to start this new journey with you and the Security vExpert community!
