Essential Trends and Dynamics of the Endpoint Security Industry
Essential Trends and Dynamics of the Endpoint Security Industry Lenny Zeltser wrote this paper together with a co-author who chose to remain anonymous. May 2005 This paper examines trends and dynamics of the endpoint security industry, and shows how business strategies of market leaders such as Symantec exemplify these factors. When exploring current developments in the information security marketplace, we stipulate that this sector is beginning to converge with the general IT software industry in response to factors such as the evolution of the industry structure, competitive dynamics, regulatory compliance efforts, and the maturing state of security products.

Q3 Consumer Endpoint Protection Jul-Sep 2020
HOME ANTI- MALWARE PROTECTION JUL - SEP 2020 selabs.uk [email protected] @SELabsUK www.facebook.com/selabsuk blog.selabs.uk SE Labs tested a variety of anti-malware (aka ‘anti-virus’; aka ‘endpoint security’) products from a range of well-known vendors in an effort to judge which were the most effective. Each product was exposed to the same threats, which were a mixture of targeted attacks using well-established techniques and public email and web-based threats that were found to be live on the internet at the time of the test. The results indicate how effectively the products were at detecting and/or protecting against those threats in real time. 2 Home Anti-Malware Protection July - September 2020 MANAGEMENT Chief Executive Officer Simon Edwards CONTENTS Chief Operations Officer Marc Briggs Chief Human Resources Officer Magdalena Jurenko Chief Technical Officer Stefan Dumitrascu Introduction 04 TEstING TEAM Executive Summary 05 Nikki Albesa Zaynab Bawa 1.
