VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard and Enterprise EDR for Indeed

Indeed Stays a Step Ahead of Advanced Threats As a major employment search engine for job listings worldwide, Indeed puts an added focus on having the strongest possible security posture. For Senior Security Engineer Robert Bogart, gaining insight into Indeed’s environment was a top priority. After deploying VMware Carbon Black, Indeed was able to not only get complete visibility but also proactively stop attacks.
Gaining visibility Prior to VMware Carbon Black, Indeed didn’t have clear insight into their corporate infrastructure and the company’s large macOS environment. Without that visibility, they didn’t know exactly what was happening on their endpoints. After evaluating and testing a number of solutions, Bogart chose to deploy both VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard and VMware Black® Hosted EDR.
“I think VMware Carbon Black is a forerunner and they sort of lead the pack,” said Bogart. “We have tested other industry-leading endpoint detection and response (EDR) software vendors and we really like the feature set that VMware Carbon Black gives us.”
Prevention and threat hunting
Product capabilities are truly what drove Indeed to purchase VMware Carbon Black. The ability to gain visibility into when processes are starting or stopping, or when network connections are being made gave Bogart and the team the additional context they needed.
“The main benefit we get out of Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard is the peace of mind of knowing that there’s proactive next-generation antivirus,” said Bogart. “We really like that Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard is our first line of defense. For Carbon Black Hosted EDR, we really like the threat hunting capabilities.”
Since deployment, Indeed has been able to achieve a new level of security. While Bogart and the team have put great processes in place, they continue to look for ways to enhance their security posture further, especially with the release of the new VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR™ solution.
“I really found the new Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR product that’s coming out very valuable for us,” said Bogart. “We want to go in and find threats before they become larger problems. Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR is definitely a good piece of news to hear.”
