Carbon Black has been mismanaged by VMware and others for years
Who are these "others" you refer to?
There is no news here. There is nothing known in the company, or outside.
VMware mismanaged Carbon Black from the very beginning. VMware R&D had no idea how to run a security unit, but they took over all the senior positions. Security took a lower priority than bug fixes. Who cares about the new major security threat as long as we reduce our size in memory?
Carbon Black is Back is being shuffled about, and I've already seen it. Major changes being approved same-day with work beginning immediately, while before it would take committees and weeks of meetings to properly scope to the finest detail.

Carbon Black has been mismanaged by VMware and others for years. It routinely loses virus tests to Microsoft Defender. These proclamations of independence are signs of desperation. "At long last Carbon Black will be free to maybe not be terrible". Same with EUC. But these dreams of prosperity require two things: a good buyer and viable products. Good luck!
Slow news day at CRN?
