OPSWAT Awards Silver Certification to Carbon Black’s CB Defense for Anti-malware

The OPSWAT Certified Security Application Program has awarded Silver certification to Carbon Black’s anti-malware product, CB Defense. Carbon Black’s certification demonstrates the efficacy of CB Defense as an effective, market-leading anti-malware product that is compatible with widely used access control solutions.

Carbon Black is a leading provider of next-generation endpoint security. OPSWAT awarded certification to Carbon Black after determining that their next-generation solution, CB Defense, met a number of strict criteria for compatibility. The OPSWAT compatibility check ensures that a security solution can be detected, classified, and displayed in a network administrator’s management console from 200 million-plus endpoints.

OPSWAT will list CB Defense as a Silver Certified security application on OPSWAT.com. Products that receive OPSWAT Silver certification are strongly compatible with industry-leading NAC and SSL VPN solutions, such as Citrix Access Gateway, Juniper Host Checker, F5 FirePass®, and others. Silver-certified products are able to be detected by these technology solutions, and some remediation and assessment actions are supported.

OPSWAT developed the Certified Security Application Program in 2007 after compiling compatibility requirements from over 50 OPSWAT OEM customers, including industry-leading NAC, CASB, SSO, and SSL-VPN solutions from vendors such as Citrix, Pulse Secure, Cisco, IBM, and Dell. The certification program is meant to help IT administrators find compatible and effective applications for their security stack. The program also helps endpoint security applications vendors who want to certify regularly.

“OPSWAT is proud to award Silver certification to Carbon Black’s CB Defense,” said Cristina Stet, Certification Manager at OPSWAT. “As malware continues to evolve, next-generation anti-malware solutions like CB Defense grow ever more important.”

“CB Defense is keeping organizations around the globe protected from the most advanced cyberattacks,” said Patrick Morley, CEO at Carbon Black. “We are thrilled that CB Defense, Carbon Black’s market-leading next-generation antivirus (NGAV) solution, is now Silver-level certified by OPSWAT.”

OPSWAT and Carbon Black recommend that all security application vendors learn more about the OPSWAT certification program and certify their latest versions before public release. Additionally, IT administrators can use OPSWAT’s list of certified security applicationsas a resource before purchasing a security solution.
