The recently published Endpoint Protection – Enterprise Data Quadrant Report from Info-Tech Research Group, informed by SoftwareReviews user data, showcases the leading tools that are equipping organizations with advanced security capabilities to effectively safeguard endpoints and mitigate evolving cyber threats.
TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Info-Tech Research Group has published its 2024 Endpoint Protection – Enterprise Data Quadrant report, naming five Gold Medalists for the year. The report findings are based on data from SoftwareReviews, a division of the global research and advisory firm and a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape.
Endpoint protection is crucial for organizations as it secures devices like laptops, mobile phones, and desktops from cyber threats, safeguarding sensitive data from breaches, ransomware, and malware. With remote work becoming the norm, the attack surface has expanded, making endpoint protection even more essential. By using endpoint protection software, organizations benefit from real-time threat detection, compliance with industry regulations, and reduced risk of downtime due to cyber incidents. Without endpoint protection, companies face challenges like data loss, operational disruptions, regulatory fines, and reputational damage. The lack of protection can also lead to longer recovery times and higher costs in mitigating attacks, as well as potential legal repercussions for data breaches.
Data from 1,047 end-user reviews on SoftwareReviews was used to identify the top Endpoint protection software providers in the firm’s 2024 Data Quadrant report for the category. The insights are intended to support organizations that are considering software options to mitigate cyber-attacks and threats.
The 2024 Endpoint Protection- Enterprise Gold Medalists are as follows:
ThreatDown, 9.0 CS, ranked high for ease of implementation.Sophos Intercept X Endpoint, 8.7 CS, ranked high for ease of data integration.Defender for Endpoint, 8.4 CS, ranked high for strategy and rate of improvement.Bitdefender GravityZone EDR, 8.4 CS, ranked high for business value creation.ESET Endpoint Security, 8.4 CS, ranked high for including a breadth of features.

In the current landscape, investing in endpoint security is a proactive step toward long-term operational stability and competitiveness.”
