Broadcom is a semiconductor company that became one of the largest enterprise software owners by acquisition, and its presence in this index is entirely the result of two purchases: Symantec's enterprise security business in 2019, and VMware — which by then owned Carbon Black — in 2023. What it sells here is Symantec Enterprise Cloud, including the Symantec Endpoint Security agent that descends from Symantec Endpoint Protection, alongside the Carbon Black products. The consumer Norton business was never part of the deal; it stayed behind as NortonLifeLock and is now part of Gen Digital, listed separately in this index. Broadcom's approach to acquired software is well documented and worth knowing: it concentrates on the largest customers and simplifies the product range, so buyers evaluating these products should confirm what is still sold and to whom. The technology is long-established and the laboratory record for the Symantec engine is deep, but the vendor relationship is quite different from the one that produced it. Vendor page →
