Forrester published its Wave on endpoint security solutions. The firm reports that CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, Symantec, Microsoft, Sophos, Kaspersky, and Check Point are Leaders; ESET, McAfee, Carbon Black, Bitdefender, and BlackBerry Cylance are Strong Performers; and Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and FireEye are Contenders.
The firm reports “As legacy technology becomes outdated and less effective, improved behavioral protection will dictate which providers will lead the pack. Vendors that can provide strong behavioral protection across multiple OSes, combined with risk-based security policies, position themselves to successfully deliver a strong frontline of endpoint defense to their customers.”
