Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms
Vendors or products added in this year’s report may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
No vendors were added in this report.
Vendors or products dropped from one year to the next may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
Note: Due to a pause in coverage of all Russian vendors by Gartner, there may be vendors that met the inclusion criteria described but were not evaluated. These vendors are not included in this research. On 19 July 2024, CrowdStrike's content update for Falcon client caused an outage affecting millions of Windows systems in various businesses around the world. Gartner considered this incident in the CrowdStrike evaluation. On 12 January 2024, the Microsoft security team detected an attack on its corporate systems. Microsoft responded promptly by activating its internal response procedures and mitigating the impact of the incident.
A: We review and adjust our inclusion criteria for Magic Quadrants as markets change. As a result of these adjustments, the mix of vendors in any Magic Quadrant may change over time. A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate that we have changed our opinion of that vendor. It may be a reflection of a change in the market and, therefore, changed evaluation criteria, or of a change of focus by that vendor.
