There has never been a more crucial time for security professionals to have the right tools to defend against bad actors in the rapidly evolving threat landscape. Arming our customers with enterprise solutions that protect their businesses from cyber threats is our singular purpose.

VMware Carbon Black is sponsoring Black Hat 2023 to solidify our commitment to protecting your business by innovating our security portfolio. With Black Hat’s history as a gathering place for the industry’s brightest, we can’t think of a better place to demonstrate our passion for helping our customers operate confidently and securely. And it’s the best place to show how VMware continues to invest in preserving and expanding our presence as a cybersecurity industry leader.

At Black Hat, we’re underscoring how vital it is for infosec professionals to rely on a single source of truth to make the decisions that keep them a step ahead of the next emerging threat. By sharing the core beliefs that drive our product and business strategy, we also hope to share how we’re showing up every day for customers–and why this work is so important.

What We Believe

We believe the details matter. That context matters. That you can’t hope to drop a bunch of data into a big pile and expect magic to occur. Because not all anomalies are attacks, and not all attacks are anomalies.

We believe modern cybersecurity requires more visibility and fewer black boxes. No matter how smart the machine is or how fancy the tool gets, ultimately, a human must be in the loop. And that human is under attack and has to win every time when the attackers only have to get through once. That even when that human has the insight and skills required, they need help. So we believe that people matter. They matter a great deal.

We believe no tool or organization can remove all the threats to your organization. Yet the tools you do use must enable your organization to solve and defend itself against threats unique to you. We believe the analyst, with their expertise and hard-fought wisdom, should be able to make the tool better than it was when it came out of the box. And we believe the right tools should return the favor by making you better, not irrelevant.

For your business, we know the fight against cyber threats is important, even existential. Yet we believe this is a fight you can win. And we know we can help tilt the scales in your favor. We’d love the opportunity to show you how.

Our Customer Commitment

Our company portfolio arms customers to navigate the threat landscape confidently. We recently delivered and rolled out our XDR approach, combining network, endpoint expertise, and capabilities to secure container-based applications and VMware workloads in multi-cloud environments.

We have one of the simplest, most scalable endpoint security platforms, 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 with widespread protection, 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.

Marketing Leadership & Strategy

As we evolve our products, we’re also evolving how we operate. We realize that Carbon Black’s business is different from VMware’s. 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’re giving the team leeway to operate differently.
