"We believe that McAfee's position in the Leader's quadrant validates we're innovating at the pace and scale that meets the most stringent needs of our enterprise customers," said Shishir Singh, Chief Product Officer, McAfee. "McAfee is at the forefront of innovation when it comes to endpoint security platforms-MVISION XDR provides proactive and actionable context across key vectors to simplify, accelerate and automate threat validation and response across the enterprise thereby making the most of SOC resources and mitigating potential disruption to the business." Gartner defines an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) as, "Endpoint protection platforms provide the facility to deploy agents or sensors to managed endpoints including PCs, servers and other devices. These are designed to prevent a range of known and unknown malware and threats and to provide protection from such threats; in addition, they provide the ability to investigate and remediate any incidents that evade protection controls." Gartner says, "Leaders demonstrate balance and consistent progress and effort in all execution and vision categories. They have broad capabilities in advanced malware protection, and proven management capabilities for large enterprise accounts. Increasingly, Leaders provide holistic XDR platforms that allow customers to consolidate their other tools and adopt a single-vendor solution. However, a leading vendor isn't a defalt choice for every buyer, and clients should not assume that they must buy only from vendors in the Leaders quadrant. Some clients believe that Leaders are not a match for best-of-breed solutions and aren't pursuing clients' individual and particular needs. Leaders may be less able to quickly react to the market when Visionaries challenge the status quo." McAfee's EPP incorporates MVISION Insights and integrates multiple and proven new innovations to help deliver the following key customer outcomes:
