The Carbon Black Cloud platform spans Endpoint Standard, Enterprise EDR, Audit and Remediation, and Workload/Container protection, alongside the on-premises Carbon Black EDR and App Control products. Its developer network at developer.carbonblack.com publishes REST APIs, a Python SDK, and integration guides for security operations, threat intelligence, and automated remediation.
