Carbon Black Cloud Workload Essentials
Cost-effective workload protection for the modern data centre
In a growing threat landscape, protecting your cloud-hosted workloads is critical.
Take the fight to the cybercriminals by adopting a proactive approach to security with Workload Essentials on vSphere.
What is Workload Essentials?
Workload Essentials is a cloud-native solution that combines vSphere Enterprise Plus with Carbon Black Cloud Workload security technology. It provides foundational workload hardening and vulnerability management with VMware’s award-winning prevention, detection, and response capabilities.
Conveniently integrated into your vSphere console, it analyses over 1 trillion security events every day to proactively uncover attackers’ behaviour patterns and detect and stop emerging attacks. It’s a seamless and cost-effective way to deploy, manage, and secure your growing number of workloads running in virtualised, private, and hybrid cloud environments.

Why Workload Essentials Now?
The past few years have shown us that it’s not just the big organisations that are at risk from cyberattacks. VMware’s Global Threat Report found that 94% of organisations worldwide have suffered a data breach and that, however fast global businesses may be adapting to the intensifying environment; the cyberthreat landscape is evolving faster.
To stay one step ahead of cybercriminals, businesses need to reduce their attack surface with workload hardening, compliance reporting, and vulnerability prioritisation to shut down attacks before they escalate to a data breach.
