Abstract

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of modern endpoint security for enterprises through the IDC MarketScape model.

"Modern endpoint security products have evolved from point solutions to multifunction security platforms," according to Michael Suby, research vice president, Security and Trust at IDC. "The principal reason for this evolution is time. Threat actors are finding and exploiting vulnerabilities and weakness in security defenses at a faster pace. Conversely, enterprise security professionals have zero spare time. They must operate faster and more efficiently across a broader IT estate if they ever hope to change circumstances from primarily reacting to threats to getting ahead of threats. The trajectory of modern endpoint security products is reassuring. First by integrating endpoint protection and endpoint detection and response together, vendors are weaving in additional security and IT hygiene functionality into a cohesive risk reduction and breach avoidance platform."
