CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-delivered endpoint protection, announced that it was identified as the fastest-growing endpoint security software vendor not only shaping the endpoint market but nearly doubling its market share within the IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Software Market Shares, 2019: Vendors’ Pivot from Products to Platforms Accelerating (Doc # US46610420, June 2020) report.
“Endpoint security remains a critical element of a multilayered security strategy, as endpoints are frequently the first point of entry for attackers. Moreover, as attackers continuously add and modify their techniques to evade detection, endpoint security vendors must continuously invest in the proficiency of their products.”
Highlighted in the report, CrowdStrike demonstrated a 2018–2019 growth rate of 99% and close to doubled its market share, while the market shares of the top three vendors in the corporate endpoint segment declined from 2018 to 2019. CrowdStrike believes this points to the structural shift that is taking place from on-premises to cloud solutions that is rendering legacy and hybrid vendors handicapped in securing the modern, mobile workforce.
