VMware Carbon Black: It’s Time to Simplify, Unify and Strengthen the Security Stack

Offer your clients security that is unified, built-in and context-centric to cover every endpoint

 
 

91% of organisations have experienced an increase in cyberattacks¹

At a time when our workforce is more remote and distributed than ever before, endpoints have become the new perimeter. But cybercriminals are taking advantage, not only attempting more attacks, but targeting legitimate tools to inflict catastrophic damage.

80% of security professionals say attacks have become more sophisticated¹. Many of the usual opportunistic methods, like phishing, are being rejected in favour of more complex, stealth attacks, like island hopping.
