Vectra AI and VMware Carbon Black: Enhancing endpoint and network defense

Modern attacks require modern defense

Modern attackers move quickly and quietly, often blending into normal activity and evading traditional defenses. While endpoint protection is vital, advanced threats can exploit gaps by moving between endpoints or targeting devices without agents, while network-only monitoring may lack host-level insight. By combining Vectra AI’s real-time, behavior-based detection with VMware Carbon Black Cloud’s endpoint context and lockdown capabilities, security teams gain the visibility and control needed to detect, investigate, and stop attacks faster and more effectively.

Key benefits
‍

• Faster response: Detect threats quickly with enriched endpoint context.

• Smarter investigations: Combine network analytics with detailed host data.

• Streamlined workflows: Investigate and respond from the Vectra AI Platform.

• Stronger defense: Quarantine compromised hosts with Carbon Black lockdown.

• Future-ready: Continuous feature updates expand detection and response.

How it works
‍

‍

When Vectra AI detects suspicious activity, it automatically pulls host details from VMware Carbon Black Cloud EDR to provide critical endpoint context. This enrichment helps analysts quickly assess threats and, if needed, isolate compromised hosts directly from the Vectra AI Platform. By combining real-time detection, host insight, and rapid response, the integration shortens investigation times and strengthens overall security.
