Carbon Black VMWare Security

Data centre security is like securing your house at night; ensuring all entry points are secured so that you can sleep soundly knowing that you’ve made it as difficult as possible for intruders to break in. If intruders are determined to get in, they most likely will but if you make it extremely difficult for them, they’re more likely to move on to an easier target. 


With data centre security, the aim is to take every precaution possible to dissuade cyber criminals from attacking your enterprise. That’s where VMware Carbon Black comes in. 


VMware Carbon Black is a premier endpoint security tool that provides ransomware and malware protection while facilitating threat hunting and incident response. It centralises multiple endpoint security capabilities using one agent and console, helping organisations operate faster and more efficiently. 


Are you sufficiently protecting your enterprise endpoints? 


Endpoints act as the gateway to your enterprise network. From here, users interact with your most valuable and sensitive databases, therefore endpoints can serve as an entry point into your larger network and to your digital assets. An attack on a single endpoint can constitute a major breach.  

 
The more endpoints that connect to your network, the larger the attack surface, therefore larger organisations are more vulnerable to attack. 


With the increase in remote working since the global Covid-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to protect your organisation’s endpoints.  


VMware’s Global Threat Report 2020 claims that 91% of security professionals reported an increase in cyberattacks as a result of working from home. Furthermore, the report found that the average organisation has experienced 2.17 breaches.  


Cyberattacks and data breaches unfortunately appear to be a matter of when, not if, so it is essential that you are doing everything possible to protect your endpoints. 


Ensuring a robust security strategy 


Data breaches and ransomware attacks are consistently making the headlines, to avoid your business being the next company to fall victim to a cyberattack, you should ensure you have sufficient security measures in place.  


A successful IT security strategy should consider the following:

  •  External vulnerabilities
  •  Internal network configurations and operations 
  • People and policies 
  • Physical security 


Making a centrally managed and remotely administered endpoint protection solution with cloud native tools an essential part of your IT security strategy will give you peace of mind. 


On average companies deploy 47 different cybersecurity solutions and technologies, causing delays, complexity, and performance issues. An enterprise solution that enables centralised management and deployment of endpoint protection tools can help alleviate these issues. 


The Solution: VMware Carbon Black  


Antivirus is essential to ensure endpoint security. System administrators have the challenge of making sure all endpoints in a network have antivirus protection, the antivirus tool is up to date, and it can monitor for infections.  


Applying patches and updates is a time consuming and tedious task for IT teams. Having a solution like VMware Carbon Black that can quickly deploy and update all endpoints at once is the best way to stay ahead of attacks. 


The VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Protection Suite focuses primarily on internal network configuration and operations and provides enterprises with a number of key modules to make remote management of both corporate owned and BYO devices easy to manage, deploy, report, and diagnose issues. Carbon Black also protects workloads and containers providing complete protection for your environment.
