Symantec Endpoint Security Named Top Player by Radicati

Latest results once again prove that Symantec technology is the leader in security

The Radicati Group has once again named Symantec, a division of Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), the Top Player in the Radicati Market Quadrant for 2020 for both Endpoint Security and Advanced Threat Protection.  It is an honor bestowed upon Symantec for both products for 6 years running.  Radicati’s approach follows a well-established process and methodology which ensures a consistent level of research across all areas, and their reports are structured in the same manner to understand how trends vary from year to year.  

This differentiation is evaluated based on Functionality and Strategic Vision.  Both areas that Symantec continues to excel, and is recognized as a leader across the Enterprise security market.

Symantec, now an Enterprise division of Broadcom, continues to invest and innovate in Endpoint Security and Advanced Threat Protection which places them as a Top Player in both market segments for the 6th year in a row. - Radicati

Functionality is assessed based on the breadth and depth of features of each vendor’s solution.  Symantec excels with their Endpoint solutions in functionality with their offering of Symantec Endpoint Security Complete (SESC):

  • Protection for all endpoints: laptops, desktops, tablets, mobile devices, and servers 
  • Single agent for attack surface reduction, attack prevention, breach prevention, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) 
  • Flexible deployment: on-premises, cloud managed, and hybrid models 
  • Behavioral Isolation and Application Control capabilities 
  • Targeted Attack Analytics and Threat Hunter combine the best of AI and human experts
  • Global Intelligence Network (GIN), the largest civilian threat intelligence network in the world, delivers real-time threat information, threat analytics, content classification, and comprehensive threat blocking data
  • Integration with third-party applications including Microsoft Graph, Open C2, and other Symantec solutions through Symantec ICDx

Strategic Vision, as defined by Radicati, refers to the vendor’s strategic direction, which comprises a thorough understanding of customer needs. As a customer-driven company, Broadcom invests $4.7 billion in R&D annually and we couldn’t be happier to put that kind of engineering investment muscle to work to continue to stay ahead of threats and the competition, while providing cutting edge solutions to our customers.  With focus on both the present and the future, Symantec continues to provide:

  • Continued focus on reducing complexity for the enterprise with reduced TCO and increased ROI
  • Simplicity and focus on integrations that begin with our Integrated Cyber Defense Platform
  • Protections for all phases of the attack lifecycle

Radicati recognizes excellence and consistency, which is not an easy accomplishment in this environment.  Our customers depend on these solutions every day and will continue to count on us into the future to help them stay secure and one step ahead of the bad guys.
