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.

What do you like best about Carbon Black App Control?

This product really works. It analyzes everything being installed or executed. Even script files. It will stop anything malicious. There are many filters for events and you can group by many parameters. Create as many policies as you want for "special attention" computers. Get alerts in your mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black App Control?

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the volume of information available. Everybody's environment is different so take you time learning what is normal in yours before you tighten up the policies that block execution. Roll it out slowly so you are not flooded with requests for approval. Have well-thought out processes in place for managing approval requests. Some selections are not "sticky" so going back to previous pages you have to re-filter and that is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black App Control:

This will require significant time to set up and customize for your environment. Be prepared to have an admin spend up to 50% of their time for several months until you have it dialed in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Like everyone, we want to stop zero day attacks. This stops everything... unless it is an "approved" program being used maliciously. If you get Carbon Black you can detect that sort of behavior and you are really covered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
