Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

R ADICATI M ARKET Q UADRANTS E XPLAINED

Radicati Market Quadrants are designed to illustrate how individual vendors fit within specific technology markets at any given point in time. All Radicati Market Quadrants are composed of four sections, as shown in the example quadrant (Figure 1).

Top Players – These are the current market leaders with products that offer, both breadth and depth of functionality, as well as possess a solid vision for the future. Top

Players shape the market with their technology and strategic vision. Vendors don’t become Top Players overnight. Most of the companies in this quadrant were first

Specialists or Trail Blazers (some were both). As companies reach this stage, they must fight complacency and continue to innovate.

Trail Blazers – These vendors offer advanced, best of breed technology, in some areas of their solutions, but don’t necessarily have all the features and functionality that would position them as Top Players. Trail Blazers, however, have the potential for “disrupting” the market with new technology or new delivery models. In time, these vendors are most likely to grow into Top Players.

Specialists – This group is made up of two types of companies: a.

Emerging players that are new to the industry and still have to develop some aspects of their solutions. These companies are still developing their strategy and technology. b.

Established vendors that offer very good solutions for their customer base, and have a loyal customer base that is totally satisfied with the functionality they are deploying.

Mature Players – These vendors are large, established vendors that may offer strong features and functionality, but have slowed down innovation and are no longer considered “movers and shakers” in this market as they once were. a.

In some cases, this is by design. If a vendor has made a strategic decision to move in a new direction, they may choose to slow development on existing products.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020 b.

In other cases, a vendor may simply have become complacent and be outdeveloped by hungrier, more innovative Trail Blazers or Top Players. c.

Companies in this stage will either find new life, reviving their R&D efforts and move back into the Top Players segment, or else they slowly fade away as legacy technology.

Figure 1, below, shows a sample Radicati Market Quadrant. As a vendor continues to develop its product solutions adding features and functionality, it will move vertically along the “y” functionality axis.

The horizontal “x” strategic vision axis reflects a vendor’s understanding of the market and their strategic direction plans. It is common for vendors to move in the quadrant, as their products evolve and market needs change.

I NCLUSION C RITERIA

We include vendors based on the number of customer inquiries we receive throughout the year.

We normally try to cap the number of vendors we include to about 10-12 vendors. Sometimes, however, in highly crowded markets we need to include a larger number of vendors.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

M ARKET S EGMENTATION – E NDPOINT S ECURITY

This edition of Radicati Market Quadrants SM covers the “ Endpoint Security ” segment of the

Security Market, which is defined as follows:

• Endpoint Security – are appliances, software, cloud services, and hybrid solutions that help to secure and manage endpoints for business organizations of all sizes. Endpoint security solutions must be able to prevent, detect, block and remediate all threats to the endpoint. Often these solutions also combine deep forensic capabilities, and managed services for threat hunting and neutralization. Leading vendors in this market, include:

Bitdefender, BlackBerry, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Cybereason, ESET, F-Secure, Kaspersky,

McAfee, Microsoft, Panda, SentinelOne, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro, VMware

Carbon Black, and Webroot .

• Vendors in this market often target both consumer and business customers. However, this report deals only with solutions aimed at businesses, ranging from SMBs to very large organizations. Government organizations are considered “business/corporate organizations” for the purposes of this report.

• The line between traditional and next generation endpoint solutions no longer exists as nearly all vendors offer behavior-oriented solutions which include endpoint detection and response

(EDR) or extended detection and response (XDR), sandboxing, advanced persistent threat

(APT) protection, managed detection and response (MDR), and more.

• Organizations no longer view endpoint security as an isolated discipline affecting only the endpoint but as an integral part of an organization-wide defense posture, where endpoint security shares threat intelligence feeds and policy controls with all other major security components, including firewalls, secure web gateways, secure email gateways, data loss prevention (DLP), and more.

• The endpoint security market continues to experience very strong growth as organizations of all sizes deploy increasingly sophisticated and feature-rich solutions to help protect against all threats and malicious attacks. The Endpoint Security market is expected to surpass $8.2 billion in 2020, and grow to over $15.6 billion by 2024. Figure 1, shows the projected revenue growth from 2020 to 2024.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

E VALUATION C RITERIA

Vendors are positioned in the quadrant according to two criteria: Functionality and Strategic

Vision .

Functionality is assessed based on the breadth and depth of features of each vendor’s solution.

All features and functionality do not necessarily have to be the vendor’s own original technology, but they should be integrated and available for deployment when the solution is purchased.

Strategic Vision refers to the vendor’s strategic direction, which comprises: a thorough understanding of customer needs, ability to deliver through attractive pricing and channel models, solid customer support, and strong on-going innovation.

Vendors in the Endpoint Security space are evaluated according to the following key features and capabilities:

• Deployment Options – availability of the solution in different form factors, such as onpremises, appliance and/or virtual appliance, cloud-based services, or hybrid.

• Platform Support – the range of computing platforms supported, e.g. Windows, macOS,

Linux, iOS, Android, and others.

• Malware detection – is usually based on signature files, reputation filtering (proactive blocking of malware based on its behavior, and a subsequent assigned reputation score), and proprietary heuristics. The typical set up usually includes multiple filters, one or more bestof-breed signature-based engines as well as the vendor’s own proprietary technology.

Malware engines are typically updated multiple times a day. Malware can include spyware, viruses, worms, rootkits, and much more.

• Antivirus Removal Tools – serve to uninstall previously used security software on a user’s machine. Running multiple security solutions on one device can cause conflicts on the endpoints, which can result in downtime.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

• Directory integration – can be obtained via Active Directory or a variety of other protocols, such as LDAP. By integrating with a corporate directory, organizations can more easily manage and enforce user policies.

• Firewall – functionality typically comes with most endpoint security solutions, and offers a more granular approach to network protection, such as blocking a unique IP address.

Intrusion prevention systems are also commonly included as a feature in firewalls. Intrusion detection and prevention systems protect against incoming attacks on a network.

• URL Filtering – enables organizations to manage and control the websites their employees are allowed to visit. Solutions can block particular websites, or define categories of websites

(e.g. gambling) to block, as well as integrate with sandboxing and or threat intelligence feeds to detect and stop malicious URLs.

• Third Party Patch Assessment – is a common feature included in many endpoint security solutions. It serves to inventory software on protected endpoints to determine if any of the software on the endpoint is out-of-date. It is meant to alert administrators about important software updates that have not yet been deployed.

• Third Party Patch remediation – lets administrators deploy a missing software update discovered during the patch assessment phase. It should be possible for administrators to deploy software updates directly from the management console.

• Reporting – lets administrators view activity that happens on the network. Endpoint Security solutions should offer real-time interactive reports on user activity. Summary views to give an overall view of the state of the network should also be available. Most solutions allow organizations to run reports for events that occurred over the past 12 months, as well as to archive event logs for longer-term access.

• Web and Email Security – features enable organizations to block malware that originates from web browsing or emails with malicious intent. These features are compatible with applications for web and email, such as browsers, email clients, and others. These features also help block blended attacks that often arrive via email or web browsing.

• Device control – allows control on the use of devices on endpoints, such as USB drives,

CD/DVDS, and more. Some solutions provide only basic binary control policies (i.e.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020 allow/disallow), while others allow more granular controls, e.g. blocking a device by user, or group of users, and more.

• Encryption – support for full-disk encryption (FDE) to lock an entire drive, or file-based encryption to lock specific files.

• Network access control (NAC) – lets administrators block network access to certain endpoints for various reasons. It is commonly used to bar new endpoints from joining the network that have yet to deploy the organization’s security policies.

• Mobile device protection – many endpoint security vendors integrate some form of mobile protection into their endpoint solutions. Some endpoint security vendors offer mobile protection through separate add-ons for Mobile Device Management (MDM) or Enterprise

Mobility Management (EMM).

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP) – allows organizations to define policies to prevent loss of sensitive electronic information. There is a range of DLP capabilities that vendors offer in their solutions, ranging from simple keyword based detection to more sophisticated Content-

Aware DLP functionality.

• Administration – should provide easy, single pane-of-glass management across all users and resources. Many vendors still offer separate management interfaces for their on-premises and cloud deployments. As more organizations choose a hybrid deployment model, an integrated management experience that functions across on-premises and cloud is required.

• Sandboxing – does the solution include sandboxing capabilities, or integrate with a third party sandboxing solution for pre- or post-execution malware detection.

• Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) – endpoint protection solutions should integrate with

APT solutions for real-time threat correlation across the entire customer environment.

• EDR/XDR – endpoint protection solutions should include Endpoint Detection and Response

(EDR) or Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions, or integrate with third party

EDR/XDR solutions.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

• Managed Detection and Response (MDR) – managed services which allow organizations to outsource their security services for 24/7 threat detection, response and remediation.

In addition, for all vendors we consider the following aspects:

• Pricing – what is the pricing model for their solution, is it easy to understand and allows customers to budget properly for the solution, as well as is it in line with the level of functionality being offered, and does it represent a “good value”.

• Customer Support – is customer support adequate and in line with customer needs and response requirements.

• Professional Services – does the vendor provide the right level of professional services for planning, design and deployment, either through their own internal teams, or through partners.

Note : On occasion, we may place a vendor in the Top Player or Trail Blazer category even if they are missing one or more features listed above, if we feel that some other aspect(s) of their solution is particularly unique and innovative.

C ISCO

170 West Tasman Dr.

San Jose, CA 95134 www.cisco.com

Cisco is a leading vendor of Internet communication and security technology. Cisco’s security solutions are powered by the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group (Talos), made up of leading threat researchers. Cisco is publicly traded.

OLUTIONS

Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints) is a cloudbased endpoint security solution designed to detect, prevent, and remediate advanced threats. It provides a holistic view of servers and endpoints running Windows, Mac, Android, Apple iOS,

Linux (Oracle Enterprise CentOS and RedHat), as well as virtual systems. It is available through a public or on-premise private cloud deployment.

Secure Endpoint comprises the following key capabilities: o Malware Prevention – is provided through a set of technologies including file reputation, traditional anti-virus, cloud-based sandboxing, file-less in-memory exploit prevention, system process protection, ransomware protection and dynamic behavior-based protection.

Cisco Secure Endpoint can automatically detect and block known and emerging threats

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020 through real time technologies that include: behavior analysis, big data analytics, machinelearning, signatures and fuzzy fingerprinting. Malicious verdicts from the detonation of unknown files in the sandbox are automatically added to the file reputation in the AMP’s collective threat intelligence cloud and can close attack pathways across the AMP Ecosystem of security control points. File analysis reports provide detailed behavioral indicators of compromise with mappings to applicable to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Cisco Talos further augments this threat intelligence dynamically through the cloud or content updates to the various engines. o Malware Detection – Secure Endpoint provides continuous monitoring and detection of files already on endpoints to help identify malicious behavior and decrease time to detection.

Cloud-based machine learning and cross layer static analysis are also used to scale malware detection. For instance, if malicious file behavior is detected, the file is automatically blocked across all endpoints and the AMP Ecosystem of security control points, and security teams are provided with a recorded history of the malware’s behavior and trajectory. SecureX threat hunting provides enhanced detection and response by having Cisco threat hunting experts perform systematic threat hunts across customer assets based on emerging threat intelligence, anomalies, adversary tactics, techniques and procedures. SecureX, built-in to Secure

Endpoint, accelerates incident investigations through automatic context enrichment and allows customers to leverage Cisco incident management playbooks, or create their own automated playbooks. o Malware Response – Secure Endpoint provides a suite of response capabilities to contain and eliminate threats across all endpoints. Administrators can search across endpoints using a simple, web-browser based management console using OpenIOC queries for known indicators of compromise and/or more advanced live searches of endpoint telemetry built on top of osquery. A Cisco-curated catalog of queries mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK TTP detection is provided, including the ability to query for an endpoint forensic snapshot. If a threat is detected, Secure Endpoint automatically contains and remediates across all endpoints including PCs, Macs, Linux, and mobile devices (Android and iOS). In addition,

SecureX extends response capabilities by automating response actions across the security infrastructure. o Email and Web security – all file disposition and dynamic analysis information is shared across the AMP Ecosystem via collective intelligence. If a file is determined to be malicious via Cisco Secure Email or Cisco Web Appliance that information is shared across all AMP

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020 platforms. Native integration between Secure Endpoint and the AMP Ecosystem provides global outbreak control, threat context enrichment and global trajectory view of malware ingress across key attack vectors. Secure Endpoint also inspects web proxy logs, and allows administrators to uncover file-less or memory-only malware, see infections that live only in a web browser, stop malware before it compromises the OS-level, and get visibility into devices that don’t have the Secure Endpoint connector installed. o Firewall – Secure Endpoint integrates with AMP for Networks. All detection information is sent to the Cisco Firewall management platform and can be used to correlate against other network threat activity. Cisco Firewall and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) can be tightly integrated, which allows Secure Endpoint events to trigger policy responses and enforcement in ISE. o Patch Assessment – Secure Endpoint uses a feature called Vulnerable Software that identifies if the installed software is up to date according to the vendor, or if the installed version has an exploitable vulnerability. Additionally, the advanced live search in Secure Endpoint built on top of osquery provides cataloged queries to identify Windows hotfixes and/or patch levels of the endpoint. o Reporting – Secure Endpoint offers static, dynamic, and historical reports. Threat Hunting

Incident reports highlight critical findings with actionable remediation steps. These include reporting on high-risk computers, overall security health, including vulnerable software and virus definition update status, threat root cause activity tracking, identification of various

APTs, Advanced Malware assessments, and mobile-specific root cause analysis. o Management – Secure Endpoint comes with its own management console and can also integrate with the Cisco Firewall console (for Cisco NGIPS or Cisco Firewall deployments) to deliver tighter management across all deployed Cisco security solutions. o Integrations – Secure Endpoint has an API that allows customers to sync Secure Endpoint with other security tools or SIEMs. Secure Endpoint includes the Secure platform which integrates Cisco security products, as well as third party solutions.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client offers VPN access through Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL), endpoint posture enforcement and integration with Cisco Secure Web Appliance. It assists with the deployment of Secure Endpoint, and expands endpoint threat protection to VPN-

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020 enabled endpoints, as well as other Cisco AnyConnect services.

TRENGTHS

• Cisco offers a broad security portfolio, which encompasses threat intelligence, heuristics, behavioral analysis and sandboxing to prevent threats from entering the endpoint. Cisco has also integrated unified access security and multi-factor authentication capabilities from its

Duo Security acquisition.

• Cisco Secure Endpoint delivers Endpoint Protection and Endpoint Detection and Response capabilities in a single agent.

• Built-in to Cisco Secure Endpoint, the Cisco SecureX platform delivers threat response with automatic threat context enrichment and unified threat response capabilities across the entire security ecosystem, including Endpoints, Network, Email, DNS, and more.

Behavior Detection, Exploit Prevention, Host Intrusion Prevention, Remediation Engine,

Web, Device and BadUSB controls, Mobile Threat Defense, Mobile Device Management

(MDM), and Security Management.

o Advanced – in addition to Select capabilities, adds Application Control for servers,

Adaptive Anomaly Control to capture deviations from user’s behavior baseline and stop execution, Data Protection (i.e. OS encryption management, full disk and file-level encryption), Firewall and OS firewall management, Patch Management, Protection for terminal servers, OS and third party application deployment. o Total – in addition to all Select and Advanced capabilities, protects the enterprise perimeter by preventing the effects of web-based attacks before they reach the endpoint level, by blocking malware, online phishing, reducing access to unsolicited resources and preventing illegitimate data transfers at gateway level.

• Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum (KEDRO) – is an EDR tool which works together with endpoint protection and provides endpoint visibility, root cause analysis and various response options. It adds an automated layer of defense, providing attack spread path visualization, and delivers full information on the incident, the host, suspicious objects, and more.

• Kaspersky Sandbox (KSB) – complements endpoint protection with functionality that can easily detect new, unknown and complex threats. It creates a virtualized environment, where suspicious objects are sent, analyzed with a variety of methods (e.g. simulating user activity, behavior analysis, monitoring outgoing connections, and more), and their reputation recorded. If objects are identified as malicious, the whole infrastructure can be scanned and malicious activity prevented, ensuring an automated response across all endpoints.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

• Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security – protects public datacenters (i.e. Microsoft Azure and

Amazon AWS), physical servers, desktops and private data centers based on native API integrations with VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM and Docker virtual environments. Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security is optimized for integration with public and private discovery and deployment tools, and relies on virtualization to optimize resource use and reduce infrastructure costs.

All endpoint security products are managed by the Kaspersky Security Center console, which delivers security management and control through a single administrative tool. The management console allows organizations to identify all endpoint assets (physical, virtual, mobile), conduct fast vulnerability assessments, achieve a real-time hardware and software inventory, and offer actionable reporting. The console can be used as a SaaS offering, or be deployed on public cloud or on-premises environments and accessed through a web-interface.

In addition, Kaspersky EDR provides IT security/SOC enterprise teams with a tool for in-depth incident investigation and centralized response. It offers advanced threat discovery, deep investigation and threat hunting, as well as incident response.

EAKNESSES

• Despite Microsoft’s strong investments in security, customers still cite Microsoft’s malware detection capabilities as being less accurate than competing security solutions. Most customers deploy Microsoft technologies as a baseline, while also deploying additional security solutions from other vendors for advanced protection.

• In order to benefit from the more advanced security features, customers have to upgrade to

Windows 10.

• In order to obtain Microsoft’s full range of security solutions, including the EDR component,

Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), customers must upgrade to the highend Microsoft 365 E5 enterprise license.

• Microsoft offers a highly complex ecosystem of security solutions involving the operating system and many additional components. However, integrating all these components correctly and maintaining them fully integrated throughout Microsoft’s continuous upgrade cycle can be daunting for many organizations.

• Encryption capabilities are only offered via the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.

• Microsoft System Center does not offer granular device control for removable media,

CD/DVDs, and other common devices.

• Microsoft offers endpoint protection for Mac and Linux platforms, however feature parity is not provided across all platforms and customers should check carefully on the features and capabilities they require.

Founded in 1988, Trend Micro provides security solutions for organizations, service providers, and consumers. Its solutions are powered by the cloud-based Trend Micro Smart Protection

Network, which brings together threat reporting and analysis based on a worldwide threat assessment infrastructure. Trend Micro is publicly traded.

OLUTIONS

Trend Micro Smart Protection Suites offers an integrated defense solution for desktops, laptops, servers and virtualized deployments, with a central management interface. The vendor’s

XGen Endpoint Security functionality, combines machine learning and other techniques, in order to protect against ransomware and advanced attacks.

The endpoint component of Smart Protection Suites is Apex One , Trend Micro’s flagship enterprise product which combines traditional endpoint protection with endpoint detection and response (EDR) and managed detection and response (MDR) capabilities. It replaces OfficeScan which was Trend Micro’s previous solution. Apex One supports a broad range of threat detection techniques including machine learning (both pre-execution and runtime), and IOA behavioral analysis. It also provides virtual patching powered by early threat intelligence from Trend

Micro’s Zero Day Initiative. It delivers actionable insight through a single console which includes an EDR investigative toolset option which enables threat hunting, patient zero identification, and root cause analysis. The EDR investigative capabilities are available for PC and Mac platforms. Apex One is delivered as single agent and is available in a SaaS or onpremises deployment model.

Apex One can integrate with a number of additional components which include:

Vulnerability Protection – delivers virtual patching to prevent zero-day threats.

Application Control – prevents unknown applications from executing on endpoints. It combines policies, whitelisting and blacklisting capabilities, as well as an extensive application catalog.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) – prevents data loss via USB, email, software as a service application, web, mobile devices, and cloud storage.

Endpoint Sensor – provides context-aware investigation and response (EDR/XDR), recording and reporting to allow threat analysts to assess the nature of an attack across email, endpoints and servers.

Endpoint Encryption – encrypts data stored on endpoints including PCs, Macs, DVDs, and USB drives. It is available as a separate agent which provides full-disk encryption, folder and file encryption as well as removable media encryption. Endpoint encryption is only available as an on-premises component and as a separate agent from Apex One single agent.

Trend Micro Apex Central – is a centralized security management console which provides visibility and reporting across multiple components. It extends visibility across on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployment models. It also provides access to actionable threat intelligence from the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network which relies on global threat intelligence to deliver real time security.

Security for Mac – provides a layer of protection specific to Mac clients, and adheres to a Mac

OS look and feel.

Apex One also integrates into Trend Micro’s XDR (Extended detection and response) managed service which offers correlated detection and response across email, endpoints, servers, cloud workloads, and networks. Apex One customers have access to XDR free of charge for up to

10% of their users, this is intended as a stepping stone into Trend Micro’s Managed XDR offering.

TRENGTHS

• Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Suites offer a broad portfolio of solutions that bring together endpoint, server, web, email protection and more, into a cohesive security management framework to meet diverse customer needs.

• Apex One delivers the benefits of traditional endpoint protection, as well as EDR/XDR in a single a single client available for both on-premises and SaaS deployment.

Endpoint Security - Market Quadrant 2020

• Trend Micro prices per user, which is a cost advantage as users typically have multiple devices.

EAKNESSES

• Trend Micro has been slow to innovate its portfolio, particularly as it pertains to the addition of advanced threat detection technologies, such as EDR/XDR.

• Customers report that Trend Micro’s EDR/XDR capabilities are still not as advanced as those of competing solutions.

• Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is available on-premises only and as a separate agent from the Apex One single agent.

• DLP is only available as a separate add-on.

• Mobile Security is a separate add-on.
