Carbon Black is Moving To Google Cloud

• Carbon Black's migration to Google Cloud enhances performance, reduces latency and enables seamless integrations with Symantec's portfolio.
• Google Cloud's infrastructure supports advanced analytics and AI-driven features, ensuring scalability, reliability and low latency for global customers.
• The migration fosters a unified backend for better collaboration, innovation and support across Broadcom's security ecosystem.

When performance, scale and integration align, great things happen. That’s why Carbon Black is uniting with Symantec on Google Cloud; a pivotal step in Broadcom’s long-standing partnership with Google to gear up for future innovations—while delivering immediate benefits for our customers and partners.

In the short term, customers can expect to see enhanced performance, reduced latency and more seamless integrations between Broadcom’s Symantec and Carbon Black portfolios. Over time, this migration will help to develop a unified backend that opens the door to collaboration, innovation and seamless support across our security ecosystem. With Google as our partner in innovation, this journey’s foundation is stronger than ever. Here’s why.

How Google empowers our mission

At its core, Google Cloud’s infrastructure is built for innovation. Optimized for AI, container-based applications, traditional enterprise workloads and high-performance distributed systems, Google Cloud delivers the scalability and reliability needed to support Symantec and Carbon Black’s global customer base. Its distributed data centers also ensure low latency and high availability, helping us to scale services quickly and deliver consistently reliable performance.

But this move isn’t just about today’s demands—it’s about preparing for tomorrow. We’re always looking to what’s on the horizon, so we made sure our cloud platform is just as scalable as our leading solutions are. Google Cloud also supports advanced analytics and threat intelligence at scale, foundational for enabling AI-driven features across integrated security solutions in the future. 

"We recognize that for global organizations to grow and transform, they need a cloud platform that not only delivers the speed, scale, reliability and advanced AI capabilities that customers demand, but is also secure-by-design and by default,” said Brian Roddy, VP of Cloud Security at Google Cloud. “Security is at the center of everything we do, which is why security-focused organizations such as Carbon Black are choosing to build and run their applications on Google Cloud.”

With this powerful infrastructure in place, Google Cloud’s benefits extend directly to you.

4 Reasons why the migration matters to you

1. Enhanced threat protection

Symantec Reputation, already integrated into Carbon Black Cloud with Google Cloud, raises the bar for threat detection. Carbon Black Cloud customers are now benefiting from Symantec’s world-class intelligence, enabling faster cloud reputation lookups and stronger file classification and conviction. This shift from a third-party reputation service is another nod to more seamless integrations across our portfolio.

2. New integration opportunities

Google Cloud’s flexible architecture unlocks the opportunity for tighter integrations between the Symantec and Carbon Black portfolios—meaning powerful new protections for the Carbon Black Cloud. For instance, Carbon Black Cloud customers will soon benefit from:

• Symantec Intrusion Detection Service (IDS), which strengthens data and system security through real-time threat monitoring and detection, and supports Symantec's leading intrusion prevention.
• Symantec Adaptive Protection Engine, which delivers actionable insights by analyzing the behavior of trusted applications, helping to detect attack chains and identify unusual activity.

3. Improved performance and support

Carbon Black Cloud’s new home in Google Cloud also optimizes your day-to-day security operations. With Google’s infrastructure, Broadcom is delivering faster, more reliable performance globally. We’re enhancing the tools you rely on every day, like the Cloud Management Console, which has now moved to the Enterprise Console. The customer portal allows customers to quickly and seamlessly administer their Broadcom Cloud Services from a single login on a user-friendly interface. Meanwhile, our partner support console is poised to offer an improved experience for Broadcom’s Catalyst partners. 

4. Moving toward a unified backend

By aligning on Google Cloud, we’re building a shared foundation that connects tools, intelligence and data seamlessly across the portfolios. This is a step toward a future where Symantec and Carbon Black Cloud operate as one unified ecosystem. Broadcom delivers unrivaled coverage across Information, Network and Endpoint Security through a unified cloud platform—enabling seamless native cross-domain protection.

For customers, a unified backend will improve cross-product collaboration and drive smarter security outcomes. For partners, it means streamlined operations and better integrations across networks. As we’ve already begun our transition, many of you will begin to experience these benefits—and see proof that Symantec and Carbon Black are better together.

What to expect next

The migration process is well underway, with the first phase already behind us. Over the next six months, we will continue to pursue our careful, phased approach to maintain the reliability you expect.

Our move to Google Cloud comes with more than a change in platforms. From seamlessly integrated security solutions to future AI-powered enhancements, Google Cloud is helping us set the stage for innovations that matter. Our partnership with Google is transforming how we deliver security—faster, smarter and more unified than ever.
