How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Carbon Black Next-Generation Antivirus and Behavioral EDR safeguard your organization and customer data by leveraging a cloud-native endpoint protection platform (EPP). Our platform combines prevention and automated detection to defend against advanced cyberattacks. With multiple layers of protection, including file reputation, heuristics, machine learning, and behavioral models, we stop all types of attacks before they compromise critical systems. Our flexible behavioral prevention policies allow you to customize protection according to your organization's unique requirements.

In addition to shielding against both known and unknown attacks, our solution provides clear alerts and prioritizes potential threats. It also streamlines the investigation of security incidents, resulting in faster mean time to resolution (MTTR). With no infrastructure requirements, our solution reduces overhead while enabling you to manage all your prevention needs through a single product and console.

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.
