Broadcom Inc. (hereinafter "Broadcom")'s designated sales agent, TD SYNNEX K.K. (Head office: Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Shigetaka Kunimochi; hereinafter "TD SYNNEX"), announced that Broadcom has launched "Symantec CBX," a new cloud-based extended detection and response (XDR) platform that integrates Symantec and Carbon Black technologies.
This product is designed based on the concept of "Enterprise-Grade Security For All," allowing companies and organizations without large security operations centers to utilize enterprise-level defense and real-time visibility. It was announced and exhibited at the company's booth at "RSAC Conference 2026," one of the world's largest cybersecurity events, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA, from March 23 to 26, 2026, where visitors experienced the functions of Symantec CBX.
Furthermore, TD SYNNEX is the designated sales agent for all Symantec and Carbon Black branded enterprise security products in the Japanese market.
### Background
With the advancement of digital transformation, the number of devices, cloud services, and networks owned by organizations has rapidly increased, expanding the "attack surface" targeted by attackers. On the other hand, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are overwhelmed by vast amounts of alerts and signals, making it difficult to quickly identify critical attacks. The proliferation of multiple tools and products and the dispersion of data and telemetry lead to "tool sprawl," where analysts analyze the same information multiple times or cannot grasp the overall picture of an attack.
Moreover, teams with limited resources find it challenging to build and maintain their own SOCs, making it difficult to ensure sufficient enterprise-grade defense and real-time visibility. As a result, even if an attack is detected, the response is delayed, increasing the risk of expanded business damage.
To address these common industry challenges, Symantec CBX was developed to integrate and correlate multi-layered telemetry from endpoints, networks, clouds, and data on a single platform, aiming to reduce alert fatigue and enable rapid response. By prioritizing and responding to truly critical alerts based on AI-driven insights, organizations can achieve advanced defense even with limited resources.
### About "Symantec CBX"
Symantec CBX is a cloud-based XDR platform that combines the development capabilities of Symantec and Carbon Black. Its purpose is to provide enterprise-level protection and real-time visibility even to teams without large SOCs. At RSAC Conference 2026, Jason Rolleston, VP and GM of Broadcom's Enterprise Security Group (ESG), officially announced Symantec CBX, stating, "Symantec CBX provides enterprise-level security and real-time insights even to small security teams."
### Key Features
- Enhanced Endpoint Security: Provides powerful endpoint security by combining Symantec's robust defense with Carbon Black's EDR.
- Integrated Telemetry Correlation: Collects and correlates telemetry from endpoint, network, cloud, and data layers with a single agent, providing a comprehensive view of threats.
- Reduced Alert Fatigue and Rapid Response: Eliminates the vast number of alerts and tool sprawl generated by various products, reducing costs and operational burden. AI automatically evaluates threat priority, shortening response times.
- Dynamic Prevention: AI detects abnormal behavior in legitimate software and proactively blocks attacks using unknown methods.
- Incident Prediction and Intuitive Investigation: Visualizes threat progression, predicts attackers' next moves, and proposes defense measures. It also provides intuitive investigation functions to help SOC analysts easily understand the overall picture of an attack.
- Adaptive Protection: Automatically detects and blocks abnormal usage in attacks like Living Off The Land (LOTL), which exploit legitimate tools.
- Threat Tracer: Provides a visual view that allows even junior analysts to trace the entire attack chain for rapid response.
