PALO ALTO, Calif. -- VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today announced it has been positioned as a leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SD-WAN Infrastructure 2021 Vendor Assessment (November 2021, IDC #US47279821). The solution, VMware SD-WAN, is a cloud-delivered solution that optimizes application performance over any WAN link, simplifies WAN management, and enables security from branches to data centers and cloud locations.

The inaugural assessment that evaluated 12 SD-WAN Infrastructure providers states, “VMware SD-WAN is a strong offering in the market and is also a good fit for customers that already use any number of VMware's popular IT management tools. Furthermore, many communications SPs already work with VMware, so customers that are looking for integrated connectivity and SD-WAN could look to VMware SD-WAN.”

VMware is taking SD-WAN to the next level with secure access service edge (SASE). VMware SASE brings together the network performance benefits of SD-WAN, integrated security services delivered from the cloud, and the ability to support modern distributed applications. In doing so, it allows enterprises to build a platform that provides branch, home, and remote users more secure, optimized, and reliable access to modern applications deployed in public and private clouds, SaaS, or at the enterprise edge. These capabilities are delivered as a service from a global network of over 150 points of presence (PoPs).

“VMware, through its acquisition of VeloCloud, has a strong heritage in the SD-WAN space. We believe recognition from reports like the IDC MarketScape validate VMware as a leader for businesses of all sizes,” said Abe Ankumah, vice president of product management, SASE, VMware. “But what got us here won’t get us there. Customers want their security services delivered as seamless as their networking services. That’s why we continue to bolster our VMware SASE offering featuring our SD-WAN capabilities.”

Today, Security Operations Center (SOC) teams are understaffed and overwhelmed by cyberattacks that are increasing in both volume and sophistication. Amid the rapidly evolving threat landscape, security teams are spending too much time monitoring and validating alerts instead of gaining visibility and an understanding of the threats in their environment. A new VMware Carbon Black Cloud capability helps fill the gaps of understaffed security teams by providing 24/7/365 monitoring, alert triage, and threat analyst guidance on policy changes as well as assistance with threat containment in the event of an incident.

Introducing Managed Detection and Response for Endpoints and Workloads

VMware Carbon Black Cloud Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for endpoints and workloads provides critical insight into attacks along with recommendations for policy changes customers can take to remediate the threat. VMware Carbon Black Cloud MDR, supported by a world-class team of security experts, helps enterprises respond more quickly to cyberattacks. Our analysts monitor and analyze the data for our MDR customers in the VMware Carbon Black Cloud using advanced machine learning and algorithmic tool sets.

“As the threat surface expands and cyberattacks become increasingly destructive, our customers require a strong security posture that can be realized at speed,” said Kal De, vice president and general manager of VMware’s Security Business Unit. “VMware’s mission is to enable our customers to have the security required for the threats of today and tomorrow. Our MDR offering provides customers with the threat intelligence and the guidance required to help reduce the overall risk of security incidents.”

core/pullquote

The new offering will provide security and IT teams with increased visibility and faster incident response, helping to reduce SOC staffing pressures and freeing up time for the security team to proactively hunt threats to better protect their organizations.

Threat Analyst Support to Stay One Step Ahead of Attackers

VMware analysts monitor MDR customer environments around the clock to protect the organization and provide critical threat intelligence. They can notify customer IT and security teams via email of threats and provide specific policy changes to address the threat via the VMware Carbon Black Cloud. In addition, analysts are available to provide customers with incident remediation guidance and assist with threat containment during an incident.

core/image

“We have over a million licensed endpoints on managed detection today and are exposed to different attacks across every vector, whereas an analyst sitting in a single SOC for an enterprise may not come across the same breadth and depth of threats,” said Taree Reardon, manager of MDR at VMware. “We’re able to give customers increased visibility into their environment because we can layer on that threat expertise which allows our analysts to identify and contain threats more quickly. By handling the first level of triage, this helps to reduce staffing pressures.”

As organizations defend against increasingly sophisticated and destructive attacks, VMware Carbon Black Cloud MDR will help bolster threat intelligence, expand incident response support, and provide expert alert triage and containment to reduce the time spent on an investigation. An example of the real-time analysis that supports VMware’s MDR offering is demonstrated in the dissection of the <a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/security/2019/11/wild-blue-yonder-vmware-carbon-black-threatsight-dissects-bluekeep-windows-exploit.html">BlueKeep Windows exploit</a> by VMware security experts. Providing this level of critical insight through VMware’s MDR offering opens up resources for SOC teams to focus on strategic initiatives and proactive threat hunting to better defend against cyberattacks.

VMware Carbon Black Cloud MDR will be available as of December 1, 2021. For more information, please visit our MDR <a href="https://www.vmware.com/products/managed-detection-and-response.html">product page</a>.

TETRA and FNI will collaborate on solutions to bridge the digital divide.

“The path to 6G requires a fundamental rearchitecting of the Internet to an Open Grid – one that can be accessed from everywhere and brings immersive apps to everyone,” said Kit Colbert, CTO, VMware. “This calls for significant advancement of physical and digital systems through broad partnerships and true cross-sector collaboration. Our partnership with Mitacs aims to drive this advancement forward, keeping sustainability and digital equity at the heart of our work.”

Initial applied research projects will focus in the areas of:

John Hepburn, CEO of Mitacs, said, “Connecting rural, remote, and Indigenous communities is critical to driving innovation in every part of Canada. Mitacs is thrilled to be collaborating with VMware as part of the Digital Equity Grid Innovation initiative. This initiative will improve connectivity; enable local, national, and international research collaboration; and support the development of an innovation ecosystem that leverages local strengths. We look forward to seeing where this partnership can take us.”

VMware, Mitacs and IEEE FNI also plan to establish a R&I center in Montreal where researchers will develop Open Grid infrastructure that bridges technologies from the satellite, wireless, networks and cloud industries. This infrastructure platform will serve as the application development platform for IEEE Future Networks Initiative’s <a href="https://ctu.ieee.org/">Connecting the Unconnected Challenge</a>, which seeks novel solutions for universal and affordable internet access. In addition, researchers will be able to test solutions in real-world environments via <a href="http://www.opengridalliance.org">Open Grid Alliance</a> Innovation Zones and IEEE FNI testbeds.

“Nearly half of the world’s population is still not connected to the Internet, but the Internet is a critical access point to education, economic opportunity, and health information and services. IEEE is excited to leverage our Connecting the Unconnected Challenge program to provide an innovation and a broad talent pipeline to the TETRA pilot project. This partnership provides the perfect framework to focus the expertise of our global member network on this critical humanitarian issue,” said Mary Ward-Callan, Managing Director, Technical Activities, IEEE.

The Honorable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry of Canada, said, “Canada is home to some of the best and brightest minds in emerging areas of technology like automated intelligence, machine learning and spatial computing. Thanks to VMware’s confidence in Canada, this investment will support our great talent and help solve some important challenges facing our society in the decades to come.”
