From my Gartner Blog - The EDR Comparison Paper is Out!
This is old news, but the paper was published right before the maelstrom of the Gartner Security Summit. The paper compares the EDR solutions from 10 vendors (those more visible to Gartner based on number of inquiry calls specifically about EDR):
Carbon Black Enterprise Response
Cisco Advanced Malware Protection for Endpoints
Confer
CounterTack
CrowdStrike Falcon
Cybereason
FireEye Endpoint Security (HX Series)
Guidance Software’s EnCase Endpoint Security
RSA, The Security Division of EMC, Enterprise Compromise Assessment Tool (ECAT)
Tanium
The paper includes two major comparisons, a view of EDR tools capabilities based on our previous paper on the subject, and another one about how well each of those tools support the 5 EDR use cases (also identified in the previous paper):
Incident data search and investigation
Suspicious activity detection
Alert triage or suspicious activity validation
Threat hunting or data exploration
Stopping malicious activity
The details of the criteria used for that comparison, as well as the results can be found in the paper (Gartner GTP subscription required). However, I can highlight a few of the key findings from our research:
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) vendors are often competing for the same budget used for endpoint protection platforms (EPPs) and other endpoint security tools, as well as for advanced threat and IR budgets, if available.
EDR is not a replacement for other endpoint security tools; it is often a detection and visibility complement to other tools providing endpoint security capabilities.
At end-user devices, Mac OS support is becoming more common, but some EDR solutions still don’t support it. Support for mobile devices is even more complicated and almost nonexistent.
