*UKHotViewsExtra* Carbon Black forms spine of new VMware Security Business

With regulators having approved VMware’s offer for cloud native endpoint security specialist Carbon Black, the US$2.1bn acquisition is set to close in January next year in time for the end of the buyer’s financial year.

So we thought it was worth taking a more detailed look at what VMware intends to do with Carbon Black in terms of integrating their respective portfolios, embarking on joint product/service innovation and devising a fresh go to market strategy, both here in the UK and elsewhere.
