LAS VEGAS - Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), a prominent player in the Semiconductors industry with a market capitalization of $1.39 trillion and impressive gross profit margins of 77%, announced new cybersecurity and compliance capabilities for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) at VMware Explore 2025 on Tuesday, targeting organizations in regulated industries seeking to strengthen their private cloud security posture. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains strong financial health with consistent growth metrics.
The company introduced VCF Advanced Cyber Compliance, a new service that provides automated compliance management, cyber recovery capabilities, and enhanced platform security. The offering aims to address challenges faced by enterprises operating in highly-regulated environments that require continuous compliance monitoring and remediation. With revenue growth of nearly 34% in the last twelve months, Broadcom continues to expand its security solutions portfolio.
According to Paul Turner, vice president of products for VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, "A cyber-resilient private cloud based on VMware Cloud Foundation and Advanced Services provides a unified approach to infrastructure hardening, threat prevention, compliance, and cyber recovery."
Broadcom also unveiled updates to VMware vDefend, including a technology preview for securing AI workloads with Zero Trust lateral security controls, automated workflows to accelerate segmentation implementation, and enhanced threat detection capabilities targeting fileless malware.
The company’s VMware Avi Load Balancer received upgrades including post-quantum cryptography support, mutual authentication for TLS in Kubernetes environments, and a built-in Web Application Firewall assessment tool.
