SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet
“Many endpoints are bloated with security agents from a variety of different vendors. Fortinet envisions that – just like networks – the endpoint agent will converge with a single agent for firewall, VPN, EPP, EDR, SASE, and ZTNA, all part of the Fortinet Security Fabric. We believe this continued innovation is a primary reason Gartner has recognized Fortinet as a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms.”
News Summary
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced that it has been named a Visionary in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms.
Fortinet believes that this recognition is in part due to its ability to seamlessly integrate behavior-based endpoint protection, endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR), which is backed by expert managed detection and response (MDR) and incident response (IR) professional services. Moreover, Fortinet delivers a comprehensive work-from-anywhere solution by offering advanced secure connectivity through ZTNA, SASE, and CASB with our behavior-based endpoint protection, detection, and response capabilities. This unique combination enables a secure path between the user, their devices, and the applications they are using.
By deploying Fortinet’s endpoint security solutions, customers are realizing added benefits, including the ability to:
Third-party testing validates the efficacy of FortiEDR
In addition to this recognition from Gartner, Fortinet’s endpoint security has recently been tested in the Round Four MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK evaluations, which assess the ability of cybersecurity products to detect known adversary behavior, with the 2022 evaluations focusing on ransomware threat actor campaigns. The results demonstrate the ability of FortiEDR to not only detect, but more importantly block, even previously unknown ransomware and other cyber threat campaigns based on behavior, rather than requiring known threat intelligence. For the second year in a row, FortiEDR blocked all attacks in the protection scenario without a dependence on signatures. FortiEDR also received a visibility rating of 97% for detecting nearly all of the sub-techniques in the Windows test scenarios.
Customer recognition of FortiEDR
FortiEDR customers continue praising the solution. As of February 2023, FortiEDR has received an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 on Gartner® Peer Insights™, with 94% of reviewers willing to recommend the solution, based on 90 reviews. Case studies from MYCON, MIZU, and Millard Public Schools further highlight how customers are using FortiEDR to proactively detect and remediate issues.
