VMwareย Carbon Black Workload for AWS delivers comprehensive visibility and security across on-premises and cloud environments for AWS customers
SYDNEY, Australia โ August 5, 2022 โย VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today introducedย VMwareย Carbon Black Workload for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver advanced protection purpose-built for securing both traditional and modern workloads. Using a single unified console that integrates into existing infrastructure, security, and information technology (IT) teams can reduce attack surface and strengthen security postures, while achieving consistent and unified visibility for workloads running on AWS,ย VMwareย Cloud and on-premises.
โSecurity and IT teams lack visibility and control in highly dynamic and distributed environments,โ said Jason Rolleston, vice president of product management and co-general manager forย VMwareโs Security Business Unit. โVMwareย Carbon Black Workload for AWS improves collaboration between these teams via a single consolidated platform for all workloads, regardless of where theyโre running, to help defenders see and stop more threats. This real-time visibility into workloads helps prevent attacks on your most valuable assets and provides AWS customers a finite surface area to protect.โ
By enabling security teams to see workloads that are ephemeral and transient in nature,ย VMwareย Carbon Black Workload for AWS provides authoritative context to help AWS customers better secure modern applications. Automatic gathering and listing of vulnerabilities help identify risk and harden workloads, further shrinking the attack surface, while CI/CD packages for sensor deployment further simplify agent lifecycle management. Additionally, by onboarding their AWS account, AWS customers can achieve more complete, comprehensive, and deeper visibility into the workloads that extend beyond when theย VMwareย Carbon Black Workload sensor was first deployed.
VMwareย Carbon Black Workload for AWS combines foundational vulnerability assessment and workload hardening with next-generation antivirus (NGAV) to analyse attacker behaviour patterns over time and help stop never-seen-before attacks. With enterprise threat hunting for workloads that includes behavioural endpoint detection and response (EDR), AWS customers can turn threat intelligence into a prevention policy to avoid hunting for the same threat twice. This telemetry feeds intoย VMwareย Contexa, a full-fidelity threat intelligence cloud that shrinks the gap between attackers and defenders while enabling greater visibility, control, and anomaly detection for workloads.
