Case Study: DraftKings achieves increased endpoint visibility with Carbon Black (CB Defense)

DraftKings Increases Endpoint Visibility with CB Defense

DraftKings, a fantasy sports contest provider, needed better endpoint visibility and a replacement for traditional antivirus that was consuming high CPU and slowing developers and users. After vetting nearly 100 products, DraftKings selected Carbon Black’s CB Defense to gain insight into endpoint behavior while minimizing impact on endpoint performance.

Carbon Black deployed CB Defense with a lightweight agent and advanced analytics, giving DraftKings faster telemetry and clearer visibility into network activity and attacks. The result: improved detection speed, the ability to identify new threats, and no noticeable performance drag on endpoints—users report they “feel like we’re not running any kind of AV” compared with the prior solution.
