Gartner's Endpoint Protection Magic Quadrant offers a market analysis, no matter if you are deploying or evaluating a security solution. Gartner has identified 19 vendors and rated them on the basis of three criteria: Completeness, Ability to Execute and Voice of Customer.
Endpoints provide entry points for attacks. Each endpoint is a unique target, and attackers can reach them through many different paths. For instance, an employee might browse the internet from home, or click on a link that takes them to a malicious website. Security teams must ensure that they have the appropriate tools and processes in order to secure endpoints. Advanced endpoint threat identification, which detects the behavior of attackers and validates alerts, is an example. It also allows security teams to rapidly triage and remediate security events.
Endpoint protection applications are run on machines. They use AI continuously to detect behavioral anomalies. These anomalies indicate malicious activity. A malware-infected device may use deception technology in order to lure an attacker into a honeypot. These agents are placed on every networked endpoint. Once an agent detects an anomaly, it checks a cloud resource for the latest verdicts. The endpoint agent then can respond to threats and block them if necessary.
Sophos Intercept X offers the most comprehensive endpoint protection solution in the market. It is part of Sophos' adaptive cybersecurity ecosystem and offers deep analysis for threat detection. It can also share realtime threat intelligence and other solutions. The system also has a zero percent false negative rate. It is capable of detecting malicious documents and backdoors. Furthermore, it protects against worms as well as ransomware.
Sophos also offers advanced EPP capabilities, such as automated incident response and prevention capabilities. These capabilities are easily deployed across thousands upon thousands of endpoints in just two hours and can reduce damage caused by attacks.
Gartner notes in its report the importance behavioral analysis and optional management abilities. Cloud-data-assisted, cloud-managed EPP solutions are desirable in addition to the core capabilities. They also include the ability to continuously monitor activity data and take remote remediation actions.
Cybereason also scored high in Gartner’s survey. Its EDR solution uses a graph database to store and provide context for real-time and historical data. Security teams can use this graph database to quickly resolve security incidents and triangulate them. It is also useful for security teams in identifying and investigating sophisticated attacks quickly.
Gartner rates SentinelOne as having the highest-rated product within the Endpoint Protection Magic Quadrant. Its Singularity XDR Platform has received the highest overall rating from reviewers. It also scored the highest for critical capabilities in the Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms.
Its sophisticated endpoint threat detection technology and automated response capabilities complement its deception technology. Trellicts Insights features protect against malicious documents, trojans, and backdoors. It is also a member of the Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice program, which recognizes high-rated products.
