Gartner believes a mesh approach is especially useful for cybersecurity. “All cybersecurity technologies are under pressure to accommodate countless forms of digital transformation, including the use of public cloud computing and reliance on personal mobile devices. This additional report continues to show Gartner’s focus on mobile as a critical area of the EPP, EDR, XDR, and Zero Trust landscape for organizations looking to adapt to modern, distributed workforces. Not included in the Gartner MQ report but linked to at the end, the Top Security and Risk Management Trends of 2021 focuses heavily on the BYOD environments many enterprises have adopted. “EPP solutions may also add mobile threat defense and integration with unified endpoint management to reduce the overall administration burden and allow further consolidation of security operations and IT operations tools.” – Gartner Gartner’s position on the adoption and integrations of MTD to support endpoint protection platforms (EPP) is a supporting focus in this year’s report, especially as enterprises need to cover all the endpoints within the infrastructure for their growing distributed workforce. But this relevant data point provides a brief glimpse into the mindset of Gartner’s analysts as they categorize mobile threat defense as a “common feature.” Gone are the days of passive approaches to corporate-owned and BYOD security, replaced by the need for comprehensive security stacks covering all the endpoints. On the flip side, only one vendor was cited for the lack of a mobile solution. Spread across the full Gartner MQ, BlackBerry, Check Point, Crowdstrike, Cybereason, Fortinet, Microsoft, Panda, Sophos, and Symantec were all recognized by Gartner for their mobile offerings. Within the Magic Quadrant (MQ), there is no pattern to those organizations that have adopted MTD into their security offerings, but the numbers speak for themselves. ![]() The analyst firm did recently cover the need for mobile threat defense in-depth with their Gartner 2021 Market Guide for Mobile Threat Defense. And while Gartner’s recognition of this critical security layer does not go into detail over the mobile solution’s effectiveness, the inclusion of the detail in such a substantial report continues to drive home the importance of mobile device security. ![]() ![]() And organizations like Symantec, Cisco, and VMware held strong as visionaries while Blackberry, Check Point, Fortinet, and Bitdefender represent the strongest of the niche players category (in my opinion).Įven though mobile threat defense (MTD) leaders like Zimperium would not be considered for this report, Zimperium is strongly represented through both OEM and security architecture partnerships with organizations in three of the four categories covered by Gartner. As Microsoft and CrowdStrike continue to show dominance as leaders, SentinelOne and Trend Micro are nipping close on their heels. The 2021 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) by Gartner was recently released covering the full spread of strong EPP vendors in the space.
