Description

Carbon Black empowers top security teams to close the Risk Gap they face today. Specific directed attacks are now the cybercrime norm, and no business is exempt. There’s increasing cyber-insurance scrutiny, and government regulations continue to get stricter. In this context, security teams can no longer rely on general security platforms alone. Rather, teams must be empowered with deeper visibility and more control in order to tailor response to their unique environment. With Carbon Black, security teams have unprecedented ability to see directed attacks, contain potential impact, change policies with no user interruption, prevent repeat incidents, and measure what they stopped.

We implemented CB a year ago and since then we have almost entirely eliminated the need for re-imaging machines due to malware.

What do you like best about Carbon Black Cloud?

We recently converted our AV over to Carbon Black Defense and have been nothing short of impressed. Cloud analytics along with the ability to stay on top of zero day attacks take this product the next level. They've really thought this one through as they've implemented a good/better/best approach for their policies within CBD. We worked our way through each of those levels until we were at the best level and I can say that I do feel like it helps tremendously. There are some times you have to go in and whitelist something but I'd rather have it that way than the potential alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black Cloud?

Occasionally you can see some latency when monitoring the service due to it being in the cloud. We've had some issues rolling this product out into our Citrix Xenapp environment. It appears we are the first xenapp customer for them so they've been working with us to get through some of the initial slowness during logins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black Cloud:

We utilized the installation team and that helped tremendously as they worked with us for 8 weeks while setting up and implementing into our environment. We tightened down the settings gradually. I would seriously consider their guidance for implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are tightening down our controls and environment by integrating a product such as defense into our infrastructure. I've already noticed how many more situations have been prevented than that of our previous AV provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Carbon Black App Control?

This is, hands down, my favorite application whitelisting I've ever used. It can approve by the file's hash value (SHA-256), the publisher/certificate, or a number of other custom options. High customizable across the environment, and even enabled me to completely eradicate bloatware (such as ASK Toolbar) within two weeks of full implementation.

If your installation is on a server that can access the internet, it can also use VirusTotal and CB's own reputation service to auto-approve some programs based on collective input from other customers (reducing management time).

Other providers tried to get me to switch because CB Protection uses a lot of man-hours to manage (which is true), but they cannot reliably block some"benign but unwanted" programs without using a blacklisting approach. CB Protection means I can block unwanted programs from the get-go, even if they are basically harmless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black App Control?

This is a highly involved implementation and management. Expect six (6) months or more to call the project done - anything else means that you may very well shut down some critical applications and/or let things through that should not be. Trust me; take the time, plan your policies, and be cautious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black App Control:

Plan your implementation, and work closely with your Professional Services person. They can really help you. And pay for the training for each administrator (at the time of this review, each purchase comes with two training slots for your company). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black App Control solving and how is that benefiting you?

(A form of) Antimalware and version control are the two biggest items. Also, in my current environment, we're using it in an offline scenario - no internet access. All other whitelisting and antimalware solutions REQUIRED internet to function - a big NO-NO for SCADA environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
