Technology giant Broadcom on Monday announced the merger of the Carbon Black and Symantec businesses into a new unit tasked with combining network and data telemetry with Endpoint Detection and Response technologies.
Fresh off its $69 billion acquisition of VMware, Broadcom created a new Enterprise Security Group business unit to manage its cybersecurity portfolio and work on fusing the best of Symantec's data and network protection tools with Carbon Black's EDR and application control products.
Broadcom acquired Symantec back in 2019 for $10.7 billion.
Greer said the Symantec and Carbon Black product portfolios will continue to operate in their current states for the immediate future, noting that both brands will be backed by the financial stability of Broadcom.
