Broadcom

Overview

Carbon Black is now a Broadcom product line; the former carbonblack.com domain redirects to Broadcom’s product page^[21]. The current line comprises Carbon Black Cloud EDR and Threat Intelligence, Carbon Black App Control, and Carbon Black Cloud Workload, positioned around threat prevention with detailed policy customisation and threat detection and response using endpoint, network and workload data^[21]. App Control, an allow-listing product, remains a common choice for fixed-function systems such as point-of-sale or industrial workstations. Broadcom sells Carbon Black through partners and distributors and publishes no prices^[21]. The product page cites a Forrester Total Economic Impact study commissioned for the product reporting a 427% three-year return on investment^[21]. The page gives little technical detail, so buyers will need partner briefings or documentation to compare it with rivals.
