Broadcom has introduced Symantec CBX (Carbon Black XDR), a cloud-based platform that unifies Symantec and Carbon Black technologies into a single extended detection and response solution. The announcement was made March 23 at RSAC 2026 in San Francisco.

The platform targets organizations that face serious threats but don’t have the staffing or budget to run complex, multi-product security stacks. CBX brings together Symantec’s prevention, Adaptive Protection, Data Security, and Cloud Secure Web Gateway with Carbon Black’s endpoint detection and response (EDR) technology, all under one interface.

“This announcement marks a major milestone as we unite the strengths of Symantec and Carbon Black into a single, robust solution,” said Jason Rolleston, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Security Group, Broadcom. “CBX empowers organizations of all sizes with the advanced, yet intuitive capabilities to tackle modern threats with confidence and efficiency through industry-first technologies and intelligent automation.”

The platform uses AI to correlate signals across endpoints, networks, cloud, identity, and data into high-confidence incidents rather than individual low-fidelity alerts. A single interface called Threat Tracer lets analysts trace an attacker’s full path across environments. CBX also includes Incident Prediction, which can forecast an attacker’s next four to five moves, and a SymantecAI Security Assistant trained on threat intelligence to help analysts investigate, classify, and remediate. Broadcom says 85% of incident flags come with AI-powered incident prediction recommendations.

For organizations facing Living-Off-The-Land (LOTL) attacks, CBX includes Symantec Adaptive Protection, which can alert and automatically block anomalous use of legitimate software.

Partner support was also part of the launch. “Combining Leap’s scale and expertise with solutions like Symantec CBX helps us expand access to advanced security capabilities in a way that is practical and approachable for our customers,” said Feris Rifai, President of Leap, a wholly owned subsidiary of TD SYNNEX.

Symantec CBX is expected to be available later this year through Broadcom’s Enterprise Security Group Catalyst Partner Program. Existing Symantec and Carbon Black customers will have a migration path to the new platform.
