Carbon Black named a Leader in Forrester Research report

Carbon Black, the endpoint security provider, was named a Leader in the Forrester Research report The Forrester Wave: Endpoint Security Suites, Q4 2016, achieving the highest score possible in the detection capabilities criteria and the top score for the prevention capabilities criteria.

"Carbon Black offers a strong balance of prevention, detection, and remediation functions without relying on signature blacklists," according to the Forrester report, authored by Chris Sherman. According to the Forrester report: “antivirus technologies have become less effective at protecting employee endpoints and servers. Numerous competing technology vendors have risen up to take aim at the stagnant antivirus market as a result.”

Said Carbon Black CEO Patrick Morley: “The emerging next-generation endpoint-security market must go beyond prevention to incorporate detection and remediation capabilities, empowering business to get to the root of their security issues. We believe we are the first and only next-generation antivirus (NGAV) company designated as a Leader by Forrester.”

According to the Forrester report: “With its more recent acquisition of Confer in 2016, the company demonstrates its commitment to a more balanced portfolio, with prevention and detection capabilities.”

Carbon Black’s leadership is built on having a complete endpoint-security solution that addresses evolving customer demands to include prevention, detection and remediation.

The Cb Endpoint Security Platform couples behavioural-based prevention techniques with detection and response capabilities, delivering a complete endpoint security platform. Carbon Black’s behavioural-based prevention monitors all processes on an endpoint for attack patterns. When these patterns emerge, Carbon Black immediately prevents the attack and offers visibility into what the attacker tried to do.

Customers can use the Cb Endpoint Security Platform to replace legacy antivirus technology, lock down critical systems, and arm incident-response teams with advanced tools to proactively hunt down threats. The Cb Endpoint Security Platform is available in the cloud or on-prem. Through Carbon Black’s partner programme and integration with IBM’s BigFix, Carbon Black also provides remediation capabilities.

The Cb Endpoint Security Platform is powered by the Cb Collective Defense Cloud, which provides an assessment of what’s safe and what’s not based on advanced-analytic techniques applied to data from millions of endpoints. It continuously records data from more than seven million endpoints protected by Carbon Black products, and constant interactions between the Cb Collective Defense Cloud and Carbon Black’s offerings strengthen the system’s ability to identify malicious activity and become more resilient over time.
