Bit9 + Carbon Black, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, specialises in endpoint security and threat detection. The company merged with Carbon Black in 2014 to combine Bit9's application whitelisting and device control capabilities with Carbon Black's advanced threat detection and response expertise, creating an integrated platform for endpoint protection.
The merged entity developed a comprehensive endpoint security platform that combines threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities. The platform leverages cloud-based threat intelligence and behavioral analysis to monitor endpoint activity in real-time, identify advanced persistent threats, and enable rapid incident response. Key capabilities include application whitelisting, device control, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and incident response automation.
Bit9 + Carbon Black served government agencies, Fortune 1000 enterprises, and organisations across various industries requiring robust cybersecurity protections. In 2019, VMware acquired Carbon Black, and the combined solutions were rebranded as VMware Carbon Black, continuing to offer the endpoint security solutions originally developed through the Bit9 and Carbon Black merger.
