Case Study: Hologic achieves cloud-based, customizable endpoint protection and seamless AV replacement with Carbon Black

Hologic Easily Replaces Legacy Antivirus

Hologic, a healthcare company with 5,000+ employees, needed to replace traditional antivirus and find an endpoint security solution that would work across a diverse developer environment and support many remote employees. After testing vendors, Hologic selected Carbon Black and deployed CB Defense to avoid the performance issues they experienced with the alternative and to gain policy customization and cloud-based coverage.

Carbon Black implemented a CB Defense proof-of-concept that Hologic kept in production, delivering customizable policies, cloud management for remote endpoints, and no observable performance degradation. Hologic also leverages Carbon Black’s User Exchange for quick support, shared threat intelligence, and community-driven product ideas, enabling proactive blocking of threats and stronger peer collaboration—benefits Hologic cites as clear operational improvements even if they did not publish specific numerical metrics.
