"Carbon Black is the leading incident response tool on the market," said Michael McCartney, DIGITS LLC's President/CEO "Our team and, as a result, our customers will see immediate benefits from this partnership."
Tom Barsi, vice president of business development for Bit9 + Carbon Black, said: "Incident response in today's world of advanced threats is about making sure that when a breach occurs that data is protected from falling into the wrong hands. The combination of DIGITS LLC's specialists and Carbon Black's innovative ability to detect and respond to threats in real time will provide companies with a unique defense against cyber attacks."
