VMware Unveils New Cloud Workload Security Solution

VMware on Tuesday announced Carbon Black Cloud Workload, a new security solution designed to help organizations protect workloads running in private, virtualized and hybrid cloud environments.


VMware Carbon Black Cloud Workload, unveiled at the company’s VMworld 2020 conference, aims to address some of the challenges that organizations face when migrating to the cloud.


The solution can be used by infrastructure and security teams to secure new and existing cloud workloads throughout the security lifecycle.


Specifically, VMware Carbon Black Cloud Workload, which integrates with vSphere, helps identify, prioritize and patch vulnerabilities, a capability provided by vulnerability management solutions provider Kenna Security. It also includes next-generation antivirus, workload behavioral monitoring, and EDR capabilities.


VMware also plans on introducing a new module for hardening and securing Kubernetes workloads.


VMware Carbon Black Cloud Workload is expected to become available in November. The module for Kubernetes workloads is expected to become available in December. vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation customers can try the new solution for free for six months.
