On March 5, VMware announced its suspension of all business operations in Russia and Belarus, and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine, and we commend the bravery of the Ukrainian people. The human toll is devastating and like other global businesses, we are committed to supporting our Ukrainian team members, customers and partners. We are also seeking to support non-Ukraine-based employees with family members located in Ukraine with information to access available resources. We continue to support our employees in Russia, as they are adversely impacted by the consequences of their government’s actions. The suspension of operations includes suspension of all sales, support, and professional services in both countries in line with VMware’s commitment to comply with sanctions and restrictions. We are committed to preparedness and vigilance in this fluid situation and will comply with all applicable restrictions on the export and re-export of our products and services.

We’re working to help protect customers in Ukraine from cyberattacks and loss of continuity. For example, we are working with customers and partners in Ukraine – including large financial entities – to help migrate data center applications and workloads out of the country to other European data centers. We’re providing 90 days of free services to support that effort. 

We are also working with governments and customers across the globe to provide digital infrastructure and cybersecurity assistance. As a founding member of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC) convened by the U.S. Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), VMware is actively aligned with a global network of industry and public sector organizations focused on early warning and rapid response efforts to protect critical infrastructure.

<h1>Building a World-Class Threat Research Organization with Intent to Acquire Lastline</h1>
By Alex Wang, Vice President of Corporate Development, VMware
In today’s highly distributed and hyperconnected world, business is not only conducted just anywhere. It’s conducted everywhere. This is why VMware is passionate about our strategic priorities.

<ul>
<li>We help organizations build the modern apps that delight customers and empower employees.</li>
<li>We enable these apps to be delivered from the cloud that best meets their requirements.</li>
<li>We provide pervasive connectivity and intrinsically secure access to these apps from any device.</li>
</ul>
These are not simply our corporate priorities. These are our customers’ priorities, which guide our actions and drive our M&#038;A strategy. Our track record in M&#038;A speaks for itself. We’re active, yet thoughtful. We go deep because it’s not always about just finding the best technology. It’s also about finding that next-level talent who will fit with our team.
Today, we’re excited to announce our intent to acquire <a href="https://www.lastline.com/">Lastline</a>, a pioneer in anti-malware research and AI-powered network detection and response. To put it simply, Lastline detects and contains sophisticated threats before they disrupt business.
Upon close, Lastline will bring world-class threat research from a renowned group of academic cybersecurity researchers. This acquisition builds on our heritage of partnership with the academic community. We’ve created a culture that makes VMware a place where academics who are building companies can come and thrive, while maintaining their academic roots. As we bring the Lastline team in, we look forward to giving them room and freedom to continue doing meaningful academic research.
Lastline will enable VMware to further increase the capabilities provided by the <a href="https://www.carbonblack.com/why-cb/threat-analysis-unit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VMware Carbon Black Threat Analysis Unit</a> (TAU) with network-centric threat research and behavioral analysis. This will help accelerate our customers’ journeys toward intrinsic security. We’ll add new tools to make security intrinsic across highly distributed, multi-cloud environments connected by a virtual cloud network, enabling any app on any cloud on any device.
