Gartner Report: 2021 Competitive Landscape for Endpoint Protection Platforms

The endpoint security landscape continues to evolve with buyers pursuing a vendor and agent consolidation strategy and moving away from best-of-breed solutions. Vendors are leveraging buyer sentiment by expanding portfolios and bundling offerings, while adding new offerings in EDR, XDR and MDR.

In order to end modern ransomware campaigns, supply chain attacks, and insider threats, security teams need better visibility, protection and response across their enterprise.

An EPP is a solution deployed on endpoint devices to prevent file-based/fileless malware, malicious scripts and memory-based threats. 

It is also deployed to detect and block malicious activity from trusted and untrusted applications, and to provide the investigation and remediation capabilities needed to dynamically respond to security incidents and alerts.

This report profiles EDR technology providers, as the majority of technology providers in this market now offer combined advanced EPP/EDR security suites:
