In a field of more than 50 global participants in the endpoint security industry, Frost & Sullivan independently plotted the top 16 companies in this Frost Radar™ analysis. Parameters assessed in the analysis included: • Innovation Scalability • Research and Development • Product Portfolio • Mega Trends Leverage • Customer Alignment • Revenue Growth • Market Share Growth • Growth Pipeline • Vision and Strategy Endpoint security includes host-based software products that secure computing devices such as laptops, desktops, tablets, servers, and smartphones from malware, cyberattacks, unwanted applications, and physical loss or theft. Internet of Things (IoT) devices also are endpoints that must be secured. Endpoint security includes both an endpoint protection platform and endpoint detection and response (EDR). Mobile threat defense technology is designed to protect organizations and individual users from security threats on mobile platforms. Mobile devices are being used as a gateway to stealing users’ identities. The need to secure these devices is increasing with BYOD replacing corporate device management. Cybercriminals are looking to infiltrate an organization by compromising user identity via mobile devices. In the last few years the complexity and volume of threats have increased significantly. The threat landscape is constantly changing. There is the continued prevalence of advanced and targeted threats along with the growth of malware. Attacks targeting endpoints are increasing. EDR solutions must function flawlessly to mitigate risk and help identify unprotected assets in order to give quick and actionable information and secure outcomes. With the vast majority of business-critical data being stored on cloud-based applications rather than on the endpoint, organizations must ensure the security of cloud-based collaboration applications. Organizations continue to adopt cloud applications and storage and run more of their workloads from the cloud. It is imperative to respond sophisticatedly and rapidly to the increasing number of cyberthreats present to these applications. The Frost Radar™ reveals the market positioning of companies in an industry using their Growth and Innovation scores as highlighted in the Frost Radar™ methodology. The document presents competitive profiles on each of the companies in the Frost Radar™ based on their strengths, opportunities, and a small discussion on their positioning. Frost & Sullivan analyzes numerous companies in an industry and benchmarks them across 10 criteria on the Frost Radar™, where the leading companies in the industry are then positioned.
