June 27, 2023 05:05 pmVMware’s powerful combination of Carbon Black Cloud EDR and NSX NDR provide the broadest and deepest context-rich data as a solid security foundation. This high-fidelity telemetry that extends beyond the endpoint uncovers even the most sophisticated adversaries as they attempt to hop among various endpoints and networks looking for ways to disguise themselves in the noise. This visibility drastically reduces the detection and correlation burden which has been all too often heaped upon SIEMs today and restores the detection responsibility to VMware’s best-of-breed EDR and NDR.

June 28, 2023 01:00 amVMware’s powerful combination of Carbon Black Cloud EDR and NSX NDR provide the broadest and deepest context-rich data as a solid security foundation. This high-fidelity telemetry that extends beyond the endpoint uncovers even the most sophisticated adversaries as they attempt to hop among various endpoints and networks looking for ways to disguise themselves in the noise. This visibility drastically reduces the detection and correlation burden which has been all too often heaped upon SIEMs today and restores the detection responsibility to VMware’s best-of-breed EDR and NDR.
