VMware Carbon Black Is Focused on One Thing: Security
Helping our customers win the fight against ransomware and other cyber threats is our most important mandate. At VMware Carbon Black, we believe this is a fight you can win–and we can help you by tilting the scales in your favor. That is why as a company, we are focused on innovating and expanding our security portfolio to protect your business. And it’s why VMware continues to invest in preserving and expanding Carbon Black’s presence as a cybersecurity industry leader.
We remain committed to delivering security solutions that offer a single source of truth and an intuitive understanding of your environment so you can confidently make the decisions that keep your enterprise safe.
Our Customer Commitment
Since integrating Carbon Black into the VMware portfolio, we have evolved our ability to help customers navigate the threat landscape. Recently, we delivered a novel approach to XDR that combines our network and endpoint expertise and capabilities to secure container-based applications and VMware workloads in multi-cloud environments.
Today, in fact, we have one of the simplest, most scalable endpoint security platforms which, when deployed with vSphere workloads and modern applications, helps customers operationalize their security strategy confidently.
As a result, VMware Carbon Black protects millions of endpoints. This widespread protection comprises an essential element of the VMware security portfolio. Spanning endpoint protection along with detection and response in hybrid workspaces and within multi-cloud environments, VMware Carbon Black also underpins the VMware Ransomware Protection and Recovery solution.
We’re not stopping there. You can expect to see expanded security offerings while we continually improve how we work with customers and partners to help them protect against bad actors.
We’re Investing in Marketing Leadership and Strategy
As we evolve our products, we’re also evolving how we operate. While there are many points of leverage with the core operation of VMware’s business, it’s become abundantly apparent that the Carbon Black motion has some unique requirements. The way we engage with customers, channel partners, and buying centers is different from the way VMware brings its infrastructure solutions to the market. To better serve the needs of CISOs and their teams, we’ve identified areas where we need the flexibility to operate differently.
For example, based on the unique demands of this highly competitive market, we consolidated all of the sales, customer success, and professional services teams to improve collaboration and how we engage and support our customers. We’ve aligned the engineering and CTO organizations underneath the industry and Carbon Black stalwart Scott Lundgren (a co-founder of Carbon Black). We also built out an endpoint security-focused marketing function to drive better alignment within the team.
We’re also continuing to invest in the existing team both at leadership levels and throughout the org. Caroline Japic recently joined my team as Vice President of Marketing to build a world-class marketing team. An acknowledged marketing innovator, Caroline will lead the strategy to accelerate the VMware Carbon Black global brand and market presence.
Fueled by significant, ongoing investment from VMware, my team and I are building out an operation that aims to definitively demonstrate our unique value proposition to organizations struggling to secure their business in this complex, multi-cloud era.
While the security market is figuring out how to shoehorn AI-based Large Language Models into security use cases; Carbon Black customers are already benefitting from AI and ML-based capabilities that are increasing productivity and reducing alert fatigue for thousands of security analysts every single day.
We’re growing. Our solutions are becoming even more vital. And we are poised to make the world safe from cyber attacks. With so much at stake for every organization, we believe nothing is more important.
On behalf of the Security team, let me share our message to current and future VMware Carbon Black customers: You can count on us to protect your business. It’s what we do.
