How leading endpoint security providers compare on enterprise performance
Summary
A skilled attacker can scan and find unprotected endpoints on an enterprise network in seconds, taking just one hour and 24 minutes to move from the initial point of compromise to other systems. Ivanti’s State of Security Preparedness 2023 Report reflects enterprises’ urgent need to upscale their tech stacks, consolidating applications to improve performance while reducing costs. Critical targets for these technologies are identifying unprotected, weak endpoints in milliseconds, inventing new ways to evade detection so malware can be installed on enterprise servers, and automating phishing attacks, while also performing ongoing network reconnaissance. Because all organizations have unique requirements, we profiled additional vendors delivering highly differentiated capabilities to the market.” Bitdefender, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, SentinelOne, Sophos and Trellix are proven enterprise-grade endpoint security platforms that contribute to zero-trust initiatives today. Instead, it seeks to reduce an organization’s attack surface by using what it calls Moving Target Defense (MTD), which is one way of delivering the proactive security that Omdia has been highlighting as a growing trend in the market over recent months.
