McAfee continues to dominate the endpoint security industry with its Total Protection for Enterprise solution. Leading research firm Gartner, Inc. has placed the company in the leader quadrant in its “Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms.”

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms is based on an assessment of a company’s ability to execute and completeness of vision.

• “The stand-alone antivirus market has been replaced with a broader suite of defensive technologies supported by an extensible management platform that can subsume horizontal products, such as data protection and device management capabilities.”
• A modular architecture that enables selective configuration based on security requirements and device location is also critical.”

Gartner gauges a company’s completeness of vision by considering its market understanding, sales and marketing strategy, offering or product strategy, business model, and innovation. Our position in the Magic Quadrant validates our market leadership in security risk management.

When it comes to endpoint security, McAfee has achieved many industry firsts:

• First to deliver a single agent and a single console for endpoint security
• First to manage a broad range of security products—endpoint, network, data, and web and messaging security—all from a single, centralized console
• First to combine security and compliance processes—management and reporting—from one console
• First to unify security and compliance management for physical and virtual environments
• First to deliver an industry standard security software development kit to enable full interoperability and management across McAfee and non-McAfee security products
