These use-cases might relate to certain geographic areas or delivery methods. However, in these use-cases Niche Players can outperform other vendors. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are these use-cases?

Gartner considers EDR one of the most important considerations for their vendor selections; they devoted a large section to the capability in their report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, some of Gartner\u2019s language suggests the heavy focus on EDR stems as much from customer satisfaction issues. Gartner states in the EDR section: \u201cEven the most damaging and high-profile attacks in 2017&#8230;could have been mitigated or the impact reduced by better IT operations, and by better education and communication from security vendors to their customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe most visionary and leading of vendors in 2018 and 2019 will be those that use the data collected from their EDR capabilities to deliver actionable guidance and advice that is tailored to their clients.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We believe the Niche Players, like the other Endpoint Protection Platforms, will continue to innovate and refine their EDR. However, we also predict serious investment in customer service and improving the user experience of their products. In a cybersecurity paradigm shifting to threat detection and remediation, this might be a critical consideration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can download the full 2018 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms provided by Carbon Black here.
