Accelerating VMware's Vision for Intrinsic Security
By now you will have seen the announcement of our intent to acquire Carbon Black. This is a major milestone for VMware and for the security industry at large. It is also the culmination of several years of work executing on our vision and strategy for security.
Carbon Black is a pioneer of next generation endpoint security. With over 5,600 customers, and over 500 partners, they are a leader in endpoint detection and response. They have built a smart lightweight agent for a broad set of devices and workload endpoints with big data security analytics that's built on scalable multi-tenant, cloud-native architecture.
The Current State of Security
VMware believes that security is in dire need of transformation.
It needs to shift from a bolted-on model with thousands of point products, agents and appliances, all focused on different points of infrastructure — to a built-in model where the technology is embedded into the cloud and mobile fabric, and security becomes a distributed service rather than point tools.
Cybersecurity needs to shift from a reactive model that focuses on reverse engineering the attacks of yesterday, to a proactive approach that focuses on your applications, and looking at the behavior of everything that touches or composes your applications; workloads, networks, devices and users.
And it needs to shift from a siloed model, where different teams (InfoSec, vAdmins , End User services teams, networking) each have their own tools, policies, data/telemetry and each have their own isolated view of the world — to an aligned model that brings these worlds together. Security is a team sport. And teams need a single version of the truth.
VMware's overarching strategy is to be the digital foundation for any cloud, any app and any device. We are, in a very real sense, the fabric or operating system of the modern cloud and mobile world. Our security strategy has been to leverage this unique position to enable visibility and context into the applications we are trying to protect, analytics to make sense of that data and understand the behavior of the application on a workload, network, device and from a user perspective then provide flexible enforcement points to lock them down – creating least privilege/zero trust environments.
With technologies like VMware NSX , VMware AppDefense , VMware Secure State and VMware Workspace ONE we have made huge progress executing against that vision. But with Carbon Black we raise the bar to a completely different level.
VMware and Carbon Black
Our journey with Carbon Black is not new. In fact, it started over 2.5 years ago with a deep partnership with our AppDefense team. It was clear from the onset that we held the same beliefs about the problem, we held the same vision for the future, and have the same culture of deep technical innovation. It was also clear that we each solved complementary parts of this puzzle. VMware has the intrinsic position to see all the data, behaviors in context. Carbon Black has the big data security analytics to make sense of all that data. And VMware has the built-in control points to enforce and react. Simply put; We can see it. They can understand it. Together we can act on it.
Carbon Black will be the heart of our intrinsic security platform. It will provide world class solutions for securing user devices, workloads in private and public clouds, and their security cloud will be the heart of our security analytics. And like everything we do, we will enable our partner ecosystem to benefit from these new intrinsic capabilities.
