Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has thrust personal safety and security into the public’s consciousness in an unprecedented way. Families, employees and global businesses have been forced to upend their lives to make their respective communities healthier and more resilient.
Our collective response to COVID-19 is critical to our long-term safety. A key component to this response is recognizing that, despite the global recommendation for social distancing, we still function and thrive as communities.
To that end, we are turning to our strongest asset – the VMware Carbon Black community – to help guide the families, teams, companies and communities that make our world so great. While software may contribute to the long-term solution to COVID-19, we know it’s not the only thing that matters. Knowledge is key.
This page is NOT a veiled attempt to push your organization toward purchasing more security software. It is to provide resources that drive you toward information that can make your life and your own community stronger.
This page will continue to be updated with resources we believe may help you and your communities.

“My biggest concern given the state of COVID-19 virus is the lack of security on home networks,” said Ryan Manni, Manager of Security Operations at Hologic. “There are more users to be concerned about. We’ve always had a large contingent of remote workers, so we are continuing our normal monitoring on a larger scale.”
