Case Study: Evernote achieves enhanced endpoint visibility and lightweight, non-disruptive protection with Carbon Black Cb Defense

Evernote Replaces Traditional AV with Cb Defense

Evernote, the cloud-based workspace used by millions and with roughly 320 employees worldwide, needed stronger endpoint protection and better visibility for a dispersed developer-heavy workforce and remote offices. After testing several products, Evernote selected Carbon Black’s Cb Defense to address gaps in traditional antivirus, Mac compatibility, and scalable protection for remote users.

Carbon Black deployed Cb Defense’s cloud-based endpoint detection, prevention and incident-response platform, providing lightweight sensors (<1% CPU) that log executables and give host-level context without disrupting developers. The Carbon Black solution let Evernote streamline triage (alerts viewable on a phone), reduce AV maintenance, cut false positives, and gain the auditing visibility required to monitor analyst access — delivering greater fidelity and non‑disruptive protection across the environment.
