Evolve with — and ahead of — rapidly advancing attacks. [Realize 437% ROI](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/total-economic-impact-of-carbon-black) ## Innovation at Scale At Carbon Black by Broadcom, innovation is in our DNA. We pioneered endpoint detection and response (EDR). We pioneered application control. And we built a security cloud so efficient and effective that it delivers an ROI of more than 400%. Now that our legendary portfolio is joined with [leading solutions from Symantec](https://www.broadcom.com/products/cybersecurity), we’re redefining what’s possible in cybersecurity for organizations of all sizes. Cloud only? We’ve got you. On-premise? We’re the experts. Hybrid? You came to the right place. The truth is, there’s a reason we’re trusted to protect the world’s most targeted organizations: Because we invented this stuff. ## Why Carbon Black? ### Trusted ![Symantec Cybersecurity Icon](https://www.broadcom.com/media/blt4ac44e0e6c6d8341/blt113f106259edb51a/6035494a21560f28828ca05b/Security.png) **25% of the Fortune 100 rely on Carbon Black** These companies could turn to any vendor to protect their data, assets, users and infrastructure. They rely on our technology and expertise. Why? Because we protect them like no other can. ### Committed **We invest 20% of revenues in R&D** Attackers will never stop innovating, and neither will we. Our commitment to innovation is aimed at always keeping you several moves ahead of the next novel threat. ### Comprehensive **A complete solution set—without compromises** Together with solutions from Symantec, we offer one of the industry’s most comprehensive security stacks. Best of all, each of this solutions is top tier—unlike tools packed into all-in-one offerings that may check boxes but leave you exposed. ## Use Cases ### Speed detection and response and cut dwell time. Faster is better when finding and containing a breach—not to mention limiting the damage a successful ransomware attack can do. Carbon Black EDR helps you act quickly and decisively, while minimizing the opportunity for attackers to plant malware or corrupt legitimate tools. ### Unify visibility across networks, endpoints, workloads and users. It’s hard to stop what you can’t see. Carbon Black EDR gives you widespread visibility into every corner of your environment. Our extensive, detailed telemetry will also help tip you off to problems as they arise—and we’ll even store that data for up to 180 days so you’ll have it for investigations later on. ### Give attackers nowhere to run. Carbon Black EDR gives you the tools and intel to hunt down any threats that may be lurking among your data and systems and quarantine them before attackers get what they came for. - [Act Faster with EDR](https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/endpoint-detection-response) ### Eliminate unauthorized changes to your environment. Attackers, malware and even authorized users can make unwanted changes to files and software that could leave you vulnerable. Deploy Carbon Black App Control to keep your environment intact and safe. ### Meet compliance requirements by protecting everything. Meet PCI-DSS, Common Criteria, and other major security and privacy mandates with a security stack that provides full coverage—both across public and private clouds as well as on-premises data centers. Now more than ever, you need to prove you’re protecting everything. Carbon Black App Control can help. - [Engage deny by default](https://www.vmware.com/docs/vmwcb-datasheet-app-control) ## Solutions ### Carbon Black EDR: Sophisticated attackers are increasingly evading preventative endpoint defenses. Enter EDR. Carbon Black EDR combines continuous, real-time monitoring and endpoint data collection with rules-based automated response and analysis. If you’re struggling to secure your organization across multiple environments, overwhelmed by disconnected tools, controls and alerts, or having trouble trying to prioritize, investigate and remediate threats, EDR is your lifeline. - **Get eyes on your entire organization.** Make it harder for attackers to hide or for ransomware to thrive with visibility across endpoints, workloads, users and networks. - **Hunt with speed and accuracy.** With Carbon Black EDR, it’s always hunting season. Hunt threats in real-time, disrupt active attacks and spot gaps in defenses before attackers can. - **Save hours when every minute counts.** Find real threats in minutes—not days—with intuitive attack chain visualization and automated telemetry correlation. - **Mitigate impact and prevent repeat incidents.** Block lateral movement, and then turn on custom detection and response workflows to transform detected threat behavior into robust prevention policies.

Carbon Black App Control allows only trusted software to run in your environment. This “deny by default” approach is important because threats are evolving so rapidly that standard blacklists and other files can easily become out of date, thus leaving you exposed. Instead, Carbon Black App Control engages multiple approval methods to keep your allow list always current. It also protects assets like end-of-life operating systems (EOL OS), air-gapped assets, and fixed function devices such as ATMs and medical devices—assets other security solutions overlook. - **Deploy default/deny on any environment.** Protect on-premise, public cloud, private cloud, or all the above. - **Prevent unwanted changes to files or registry keys.** App Control examines the integrity of sensitive files, registry keys and folders and checks whether they have been altered or compromised—and then can report or block changes. - **Block attacks on critical devices.** Does your security stack protect legacy systems, offline servers, point-of-sale devices and other critical assets? Chances are that’s a no. But App Control does. - **Control data transfer.** Prevent users or attackers from making unauthorized data transfers from storage media and USB devices. - **Start your zero trust journey here.** Applying zero trust principles to software and files is a great place to begin.
