VMware has wrapped up its $2.1 billion buy of cloud-native endpoint-security vendor Carbon Black and in the process created a new security business unit<\/a> that will target cybersecurity and analytics to protect networked enterprise resources.<\/p>\n

When VMware announced the acquisition in August<\/a>, its CEO Pat Gelsinger said he expected Carbon Black technology to be integrated across VMware\u2019s product families such as NSX networking software and vSphere, VMware’s flagship virtualization platform. \u201cSecurity is broken and fundamentally customers want a different answer in the security space. We think this move will be an opportunity for major disruption,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
