VMware Carbon Black Cloud: Plan and Deploy

This advanced course is delivered directly by VMware.

Please Note:The acquisition of Broadcom has optimized the VMware course portfolio for the revised go-to-market strategy. In future, the focus will be on the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) portfolio. All courses that do not belong to this portfolio will be transferred to "End of Availability" (EOA) status on March 1, 2024. This means that this course will only be available until March.

This two-day hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to achieve competency in planning and deploying VMware Carbon Black Cloud™ in your environment. This course explains the VMware Carbon Black Cloud components, managing users and roles in VMware Carbon Black Cloud, configuring policies to support sensor deployment and management, and presents methods for deploying sensors across endpoints and workloads.
