Business Wire
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced that global market
research firm Forrester has named VMware a leader in The Forrester
Wave™: Endpoint Security Software As A Service, Q2 20211.
“We are incredibly proud to be named a leader in The Forrester
Wave™,” said Patrick Morley, senior vice president and general
manager of VMware’s Security Business Unit. “Following the VMware
acquisition of Carbon Black just 18 months ago, we set out to
challenge the status quo of security and further the vision of
creating a world safe from cyberattacks. We believe this
recognition validates both our vision and commitment to our
customers to help ensure security is an essential element of their
business strategy and is at the core of their digital
infrastructure.”
Today, VMware Carbon Black Cloud analyzes more than one trillion
security events per day across millions of global endpoints. VMware
aims to reduce the friction between IT security and operations, as
noted by The Forrester Wave™. In addition to breaking down these
siloes, VMware is focused on setting the industry standard for
context-centric security that is built into cloud and user
infrastructure. This accelerates detection and response of cyber
threats to better empower VMware customers to stop emerging
attacks.
Upon evaluation for The Forrester Wave™, VMware received the
highest possible scores in the criteria of malicious behavior
protection, threat hunting, detection efficacy, secure
configuration management, mobile security, OS support, application
control, enterprise customer base, partner ecosystem, zero-trust
framework alignment, and corporate strategy.
According to The Forrester Wave™ report, “VMware offers a full
portfolio of device security, digital workspace, and virtualization
technologies and services supporting their vision to unify
infrastructure, security, and IT management for their customer’s
environments. Its primary endpoint security offering, Carbon Black
Cloud offers SaaS-delivered threat prevention, device hardening,
secure configuration, automatic attack detection, and threat
hunting. Its integrations between access controls, device
management, device security, network security, and applications
allow for granular, risk-based security policies in support of a
Zero-Trust strategy.”
