Recent market research shows that the majority of cybersecurity professionals (58% according to ESG) claim that their organisation would prefer to buy a comprehensive endpoint security solution from a single vendor rather than cobble together a solution out of assorted endpoint security point tools.

With that said this is the time for those vendors who offer all in one Endpoint security solutions to shine. At Quadsys we offer a vendor agnostic approach to security and will recommend the latest upgrades to existing customers to make sure they are utilising the latest technology their solution has to offer or recommend a different vendor if the current one doesn’t provide these important enhancements.

Gartner's 2016 Magic Quadrant

Research firm Gartner defines the Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) market as one with offerings that "provide a collection of security capabilities to protect PCs, smartphones and tablets," which it said could include anti-malware, personal firewall, port and device control, and more.

The market is a sizable one, Gartner said, with the vendors on this year's Magic Quadrant doing $3.2 billion in revenue in 2014 with their EPP offerings, up 2 percent over the previous year. However Gartner cautioned that while the list of EPP vendors is extensive, many are failing to block malicious threats, with 44 percent of customers using one of the solutions being compromised.

WHO MADE THE LIST?

TREND MICRO: LEADERS
Trend Micro, based in Tokyo, is one of the largest enterprise protection platform vendors on the Gartner list. The company was named a leader for EPP, Gartner said, because of its appeal to a wide variety of buyers, calling its Smart Protection Suite "one of the most complete, integrated packaging of protection technologies in this market." Gartner also praised Trend Micro's investment in application control, vulnerability detection and shielding, malware sandboxing, and endpoint detection and response.

CYLANCE: Visionary
One of the youngest companies on the Gartner Magic Quadrant list, Cylance has been blasting into the market with its next-generation endpoint solution, landing $42 million in Series C funding in July and naming a massive partnership with Dell in November. Gartner said Cylance is the "fastest-growing EPP startup in the last 10 years." The Irvine, Calif.-based company has done away with signatures for its technology, relying instead on a machine-learning algorithm.

SentinelOne: Visionary
Another startup to make the "visionary" ranking on this year's Magic Quadrant, SentinelOne has made a name for itself in the EPP space with its behavioral-based detection technology. The company is a "rapidly growing startup developed to reinvent endpoint protection," Gartner said, and is a good fit for companies looking for a "fresh approach" and an integrated solution.
