Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released its revised 2018 <\/span>Critical Capabilities for Endpoint Protection Platforms<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a companion resource to the popular <\/span>Magic Quadrant <\/span><\/i>report. Used in conjunction with the Magic Quadrant, the Critical Capabilities\u00a0Report is an additional resource which can assist buyers of endpoint protection solutions in finding the products that fit best their enterprises\u2019 IT environments.<\/span><\/p>\n Gartner defines Critical Capabilities as \u201cattributes that differentiate products\/services in a class in terms of their quality and performance.\u201d Gartner rates each vendor\u2019s product or service on a five-point (five points being best) scale in terms of how well it delivers each capability. Critical Capabilities reports include comparison graphs for each use case, along with in-depth descriptions of each solution based on the various points of comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n The study highlights the 21 EPP vendors Gartner considers most significant in the endpoint protection platform software sector and evaluates them against 9 critical capabilities and three use cases prevalent in the space, including:<\/span><\/p>\n The editors at Solutions Review have read the report, available <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, and pulled out three key takeaways. <\/span><\/p>\n Gartner noted in the Critical Capabilities Report that EPP is rapidly evolving as a market. Endpoint protection solutions are starting to address security architecture concerns such as hardening and incident detection. Advanced prevention capabilities such as machine learning are becoming core features of endpoint protection platforms in general\u2014they are no longer just for the innovators. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The most clear-cut prediction? By 2021, EPP will provide \u201cautomated, orchestrated incident investigation and breach response\u201d capabilities while standalone EDR becomes the province of managed security services or security operations centers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gartner\u2019s other predictions come in the form of statements of priorities. Enterprises are prioritizing protection and detection capabilities over data loss prevention, encryption, or server controls, as just one example. Another is that Gartner did not consider traditional EDR capabilities as essential critical capabilities. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gartner notes that server protection is separating from EPP and that enterprises should separate their purchasing decisions for server workloads and endpoint protection. <\/span><\/p>\n Read Gartner\u2019s Critical Capabilities to see how all the top providers scored.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Other Resources: <\/b><\/p>\n Comparing the Top Endpoint Security Vendors \u2014 Solutions Review<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n 2018 Gartner EPP Magic Quadrant: What\u2019s In a Vision(ary)?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Answering the Top 4 Enterprise Endpoint Security Questions<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Endpoint Detection and Response: A New Wave in Security?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released its revised 2018 Critical Capabilities for Endpoint Protection Platforms, a companion resource to the popular Magic Quadrant report.
