• Tool sprawl and fragmented defenses are drowning security teams in noise, making it harder to keep up timely detection and response.  
• Limited expertise, busy teams, and a lack of resources only makes it harder for SOCs to juggle disconnected platforms, highlighting the pressing need for single-agent platforms. 
• Symantec CBX, the first XDR combining the power of Symantec and Carbon Black, delivers organizations from the challenges of tools sprawl, replacing complexity and overwhelm with unmatched prevention, detection and response. 

Even the most resource-strapped organizations are now facing enterprise-scale threats. Attackers wield massive AI firepower that far outmatch the lean, resource-strapped teams defending them. In response, SOCs layer on more tools but too often are left with tools that don’t talk to each other very well or sometimes at all—creating more complexity instead of clarity. This tool sprawl quickly becomes its own kind of noise, making it harder for analysts to hear the signals that could make or break their careers. 

These organizations certainly don’t lack the determination or the gumption to be ruthless defenders. What they lack is an advantage against advanced, persistent threats.

Reality behind the dashboards

Security leaders across industries are being asked to defend increasingly complex environments without the staff, budget, or or experience that’s readily available to larger enterprises. As cloud adoption, endpoint sprawl, and SaaS ecosystems expand the attack surface, resource-strapped teams get the short end of the stick.

They’re facing all-too-common challenges like:

• Tool sprawl and fragmentation. Layered security sounds great in theory, until those layers create friction and analysts lose time jumping between consoles.  
• Limited staffing and expertise. Leaner SOCs are often stretched thin, juggling detection, response, compliance and strategy all at the same time. 
• Alert fatigue and signal overload. Disconnected tools and constant alert streams make it hard to respond fast to the events that matter most.
• Expanding attack surfaces. The continuous growth of endpoints and SaaS applications is making securing everything a lot more complex than it used to be. 
• Time-intensive manual correlations. Analysts spend valuable hours manually stitching data together—time that could be better spent responding. 
• Budget constraints. Many enterprise-grade security solutions are usually priced and designed for larger organizations, leaving many teams struggling to access the capabilities they need. 

The future of cybersecurity isn’t a Byzantine stack of haphazardly layered tools. It’s in the single-agent console that brings every signal together and delivers robust security without the complexity. 

The answer you’ve been waiting for 

Designed to address each of these pain points, Symantec CBX, a new cloud-based XDR platform, equips analysts with native telemetry correlation and layers that work better together, for complete visibility and protection across endpoints, networks, and data. No other XDR solution on the market is built so specifically for the teams the industry has largely ignored: smaller SOCs that lack the budgets, resources, and expertise to manage complex security stacks.

Symantec CBX makes all the difference with:

• Signal correlation across the entire attack surface, for comprehensive context of the threats they’re facing and faster, confident remediation. 
• Machine-speed prevention, detection, and response so teams can stop attacks far more quickly than manual processes allow, and keep the business running smoothly. 
• Exclusive AI-powered defenses that predict attackers’ next moves, stop living off the land (LOTL) attacks, intelligently summarize incidents and investigations while supplying response strategies, and dynamically visualize the entire attack chain so even junior analysts and threat hunters can see how the attack progressed. 
• Reduced reliance on expensive and complex SIEMs, while still achieving unparalleled visibility and actionable intelligence needed to eliminate threats.   

Symantec + Carbon Black tip the scales 

Respective security powerhouses Symantec and Carbon Black pioneered many of the core technologies that define cybersecurity today. From endpoint detection and response (EDR) to data loss prevention (DLP), these pioneers came together under one shared mission: to deliver enterprise-grade protection for organizations of all sizes. Why? Because even smaller team and emerging SOCs should be equipped to defend against enterprise-level threats. 

Included in this platform is an unfair advantage they deserve: those AI-powered, top-of-the-line defenses and award-winning capabilities that are exclusive to Symantec and Carbon Black, and that serve as a cost-effective force multiplier for SOCs of any size.

No company is too small to be targeted. But with the right tools, every team can fight back. 

Real-time prevention worthy of a Standing O

As the first platform to integrate the best capabilities from award-winning Symantec and Carbon Black solutions, CBX brings our “better together” promise to life, championing the underdogs by making resilient, unified defenses available to everyone. 

Symantec CBX is purpose-built for organizations who want to level up their security. With out-of-the-box configurations, a single intuitive dashboard, and end-to-end comprehensive visibility across environments, clarity replaces complexity. Because when security tools work as one, teams can amplify what matters most: speed, context, and control—defending against any threat with up to 100% confidence. 

Lose the sprawl and see firsthand how Symantec CBX delivers faster investigations and unparalleled protection, detection, and response. Starting in April, you can do that live.
