Carbon Black

Carbon Black is a leading cybersecurity company specializing in next-generation endpoint security and compliance solutions. The company pioneered cloud-native endpoint protection platforms (EPP) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) technologies that leverage behavioral analytics, continuous monitoring, and machine learning to protect organizations from sophisticated cyberattacks, malware, and ransomware threats. Carbon Black's security platform provides real-time visibility into endpoint activities across enterprise environments, enabling security teams to detect, investigate, and remediate threats efficiently through advanced threat hunting and incident response capabilities. Serving enterprise and mid-market organizations across financial services, healthcare, government, retail, and technology sectors, Carbon Black has established itself as a significant player in the endpoint security market. The company's approach combines prevention, detection, and response capabilities in a unified platform, moving beyond traditional signature-based antivirus solutions to behavioral-based detection methodologies. Their architecture emphasizes lightweight agent deployment, cloud-scale data collection, and seamless integration with existing security infrastructure, enabling security operations centers (SOCs) to reduce attack surfaces while maintaining operational efficiency. Carbon Black was acquired by VMware in October 2019 for approximately $2.1 billion and subsequently became part of Broadcom's portfolio following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware in 2023, now operating under the VMware Carbon Black brand.
