Broadcom Unveils Comprehensive Security Solution for Under-Resourced Organizations

In a significant development for the cybersecurity landscape, Broadcom has launched Symantec CBX (Carbon Black eXtended Detection and Response), a cutting-edge platform designed to address the pressing concerns of organizations struggling to maintain robust security measures due to resource constraints.

This innovative solution leverages the combined might of Symantec and Carbon Black technologies to provide a unified, cloud-based XDR (Extended Detection and Response) platform, catering to the industry’s most underserved segment: organizations lacking the resources and expertise for complex security implementations.

The current threat landscape is characterized by increasingly sophisticated and targeted attacks from nation-state actors, making it imperative for organizations to adopt advanced security measures. However, many security teams struggle to keep pace with these evolving threats due to limited resources, inadequate training, and the need for cost-effective solutions.

“The security needs of under-resourced organizations are often overlooked, but they are equally vulnerable to cyber threats,” said Radu State, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at Broadcom Software. “Our goal with Symantec CBX was to create a solution that not only addresses the technical requirements but also empowers these organizations to upskill their security teams and stay ahead of emerging threats.”

Symantec CBX boasts several key features:

Advanced protection: The platform provides premium security capabilities such as secure web gateway (SWG) filtering, sensitive data scanning, and comprehensive threat detection, previously inaccessible to budget-constrained organizations.
Speeded-up investigations and response: CBX employs AI to correlate security signals across multiple attack surfaces, eliminating the need for manual analysis and expediting incident response times.
Integrated visibility: The platform offers a single pane of glass for analyzing security data, enabling security teams to visualize attacker workflows and identify vulnerabilities across endpoint, network, and cloud environments.
Living-off-the-land (LOTL) attack prevention: CBX incorporates Symantec Adaptive Protection, which detects and blocks anomalous use of legitimate software used by attackers in LOTL attacks.
AI-powered guidance: The platform includes Incident Prediction capabilities, predicting an attacker’s next four to five moves to enable proactive response and minimize damage.
Upskilling security teams: CBX provides AI-driven insights and automated reporting, empowering junior analysts to contribute effectively to incident response efforts.

By addressing the unique challenges faced by under-resourced security teams, Symantec CBX represents a significant leap forward in cybersecurity innovation, offering a scalable and effective solution for organizations seeking to enhance their security posture without incurring excessive costs or complexity.
