Broadcom Contributes VM API Open Source Project to Cloud Native Computing Foundation

(NASDAQ: AVGO) Broadcom Inc. announced that the VM API project has been accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox, enabling virtual machines to be provisioned and managed through Kubernetes APIs across multiple heterogeneous infrastructure providers. Broadcom is co-chairing the newly formed Workload Conformance Working Group within the Kubernetes community, aiming to establish a shared standard for how workloads run on Kubernetes. More than 20 new partner solutions have been validated for VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS), expanding customer choice and flexibility. Dilpreet Bindra, senior director of engineering, VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, stated that Broadcom is a top five long-term contributor to CNCF projects and is committed to making Kubernetes easier to run. The 2026 Virtual Machines Report from the Linux Foundation found that VMs account for 53% of production applications across 492 practitioners surveyed, with most organizations expecting that share to remain steady. The report also found that 34% of organizations expanding their VM footprint cite AI and agentic workloads as a contributing factor. VM API allows VMs to participate in the same declarative infrastructure model used for containerized workloads, and its move into CNCF stewardship is intended to foster a community-driven API and operating model for VMs. Broadcom's support of the Workload Conformance Working Group is intended to help establish a shared, objective standard for how workloads run on Kubernetes, benefiting both customers and ISVs by enabling consistent deployment across multi-vendor environments. VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) is a CNCF-certified Kubernetes runtime built into VMware Cloud Foundation, allowing VMs, containers, and AI workloads to share the same clusters and control plane. Validated partner solutions for VKS include Datadog, Grafana Labs, New Relic, Splunk by Cisco (observability); CrowdStrike Falcon, Sysdig, Tigera Lynx (security and compliance); Canonical Apache Spark, H2O AI Cloud (data and AI workloads); Akuity Platform, Coherent Spark, KubeDB by AppsCode, Siemens Mendix (application delivery and databases); Traefik Labs, Dell PowerProtect Data Manager, and Scality RING (networking and storage). Alexander Hopfgartner, Chief Technology Officer of Notruf Niederösterreich, highlighted the flexibility and scalability of VKS in critical emergency response operations. Broadcom provides a comprehensive, flexible stack with an open ecosystem of partner-validated solutions for VKS to accelerate customer success. The 2026 Virtual Machines Report was based on a survey of 492 practitioners conducted in September 2026.

New Broadcom Enhancements to TrueSource Spring Enterprise with Hub and App Advisor Help Customers Assess their Open Source Security Posture, Prioritize Fixes, and Automate Patching

(NASDAQ: AVGO) Broadcom Inc. announced it has shipped fixes for 89 novel vulnerabilities in TrueSource Spring Enterprise to its critical infrastructure customers and others who qualify for early access, ahead of public disclosure. This brings the total number of vulnerabilities fixed across TrueSource offerings to 408. The company emphasized that patches only secure an environment once deployed, and to address this, Spring Enterprise now includes TrueSource Hub, which helps enterprises assess application exposure, prioritize critical fixes, and track status. Build plugins for Application Advisor automate patching within existing Maven or Gradle workflows, generating update pull requests to streamline merging approved fixes. Broadcom has made a sustained investment in open source security, using Frontier AI scanning and advanced research to find and fix vulnerabilities, and delivers simultaneous fixes across all supported versions, including legacy releases. In 2026, Broadcom engineers fixed 406 new vulnerabilities, delivered over 1,090 fixes (including 798 backports), reviewed 2,600+ reports, and filtered out 3,000+ false alarms. Key high/critical fixes earlier in the year included a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-41855, CVSS 8.1) in Spring, a DNS redirection vulnerability (CVE-2026-47691, CVSS 10.0) in Netty Dependency, and a credential forgery vulnerability (CVE-2026-67404, CVSS 9.2) in RabbitMQ, all fixed across four supported lines simultaneously. Purnima Padmanabhan, general manager of the Tanzu Division at Broadcom, stated that security is an ongoing commitment and highlighted the company's pledge to identify and resolve Spring vulnerabilities faster than ever. TrueSource Spring Enterprise offers four integrated capabilities: assessing every repository via TrueSource Hub, prioritizing fixes that matter, applying patches in the build with Application Advisor plugins and JFrog Zero-Touch Remediation, and proving patch application through pipeline audits. The TrueSource portfolio includes Spring Enterprise, Trusted Artifacts for verified open source libraries and secure container images, and Data Services for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, and RabbitMQ with enterprise support. TrueSource Spring Enterprise, featuring TrueSource Hub and build plugins, is generally available today, with its 87 fixes accessible immediately to early-access and critical infrastructure customers, and public CVE release to follow. TrueSource offerings are provided via tiered site licensing.

Broadcom Launches Arcot Scam Defense to Block Social Engineering Fraud

(NASDAQ:AVGO) Broadcom Inc. announced the launch of Arcot Scam Defense, a new feature of Arcot by Broadcom, designed to block social engineering fraud during card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Matt Cooke, vice president and general manager of the Payment Security Division at Broadcom, stated that financial institutions are experiencing broad increases in fraud attempts driven by sophisticated, AI-enhanced social engineering attacks. Arcot Scam Defense operates as a real-time second layer of defense, leveraging advanced intelligence during authentication to flag suspected fraud even after a successful challenge. The solution analyzes a broad range of signals, including transaction information, device intelligence, historical behavior, and challenge interaction, to identify patterns indicative of social engineering. It can also integrate with third-party solutions to determine if the authenticating device is on an active phone call, which is a prime indicator of social engineering. Even if a cardholder falls for a scam and hands over their credentials, Arcot Scam Defense can help identify the behavioral shift and block the transaction in real time. Nearly half a billion dollars in fraud was reported over the last 12 months on successfully authenticated challenges. In pilot testing validated on a full month of live data, Arcot Scam Defense demonstrated exceptional performance. For one major pilot issuer, reviewing just the top 1% of successful challenges would have protected an estimated $4 million in fraud in just a month, at a cost of only 0.38 points off their authentication success rate. Broadcom expects to expand Arcot Scam Defense’s capabilities by adding new signals, including cardholder and device attributes, and a dedicated challenge history profiling engine to learn each cardholder's past challenge behavior. Arcot by Broadcom is exclusively focused on 3-D Secure payment authentication.
