Of the countless security conferences held across the globe, only one combines craft beer and malware analysis in the National Security Agency’s backyard. Every year, federal contractors and analysts at Beltway cybersecurity companies gather for a day at Jailbreak Brewery’s Laurel, Maryland, headquarters to trade specialized knowledge in digital forensics. “The training is really good; the beers are even better,” said a Department of Justice employee sipping a Lemon Meringue Berliner Weisse. The DOJ employee, who declined to speak on the record, has been coming since the summit’s inception in 2015. “I learn something new every year,” he said, before descending from the bar and taking a seat in front of the presentation stage. That is the comfort zone that Kasey Turner, a former NSA employee, sought to create when he opened the brewery in 2014 with cybersecurity contractor-turned-entrepreneur Justin Bonner. “We wanted this to be everybody’s own jailbreak,” Turner told CyberScoop.

Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of VMware, says the security industry has “failed its customers” and that security must become more intrinsic if enterprises are ever going to keep up with the threats they face on a daily basis. “Every year we are asking [enterprises] for more money from their security budgets and every year there’s an increasing number and cost of breaches,” Gelsinger said at VMware’s Security Through Innovation Summit produced by FedScoop and StateScoop. “This is a failure.” He compared the state of the industry to lawyers who make a living chasing after car accident victims in the hopes of scoring a personal injury settlement. “We show up after the car accident and then we say ‘Here, you need to buy more tools for forensics to tell you what happened in the car accident,’” Gelsinger said. “We are showing up after the fact. We need to have a better […]

Enterprise software giant VMware on Thursday said it would acquire endpoint security company Carbon Black in a move to bolster its security offerings and ability to detect advance cyberthreats. The all-cash transaction will be for $21 a share for a total enterprise value of $2.1 billion. VMware, a roughly 24,000-person company based in Palo Alto, California, sells hypervisors and other virtualizing technologies to corporations and to federal agencies. Carbon Black, which went public last year, uses cloud computing to analyze and defend against threats to endpoints like mobile devices. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger called the acquisition a “huge step forward in security” that will allow his firm to deliver “an enterprise-grade platform to administer and protect workloads.” “The current cybersecurity industry is simply broken and ineffective,” Gelsinger asserted in an investor call touting the acquisition. He made the case that the acquisition of Waltham, Massachusetts-based Carbon Black would give VMware greater visibility […]
