2018 Endpoint Security Priorities:

A Return to Endpoint Protection PlatformsMany organizations are now strengthening their endpoint security posture by leveraging endpoint detection and response controls for greater visibility and machine learning for predictive prevention. However, the use of disparate point tools increases operational complexity, leading to a return to endpoint protection platforms comprised of tightly integrated controls.

While the efficacy of preventing threats is important, the efficiency of doing so is top of mind.

Our security team spends too much time responding to alerts to investigate possible incidents, many of which are false alarms

Operational Challenges Have Made Endpoint Security More Difficult

Confusion around the Applicability of Machine Learning (ML)

Customers Frequently Change Their Antivirus (AV) Vendor

Many are leveraging EDR for proactive defense in depth use cases.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Is an Important Supplementary Control

The need for insights from endpoint detection and response controls and the additional level of prevention from machine learning technologies has created confusion and made endpoint security more difficult. Integrated controls delivered on a platform are designed to allow organizations to efficiently realize the benefits of a full complement of endpoint security technologies.
