Forrester selected nine top providers in the endpoint protection market based on several criteria: sizable base of enterprise customers (not less than 1,500 enterprise customers); broad endpoint security portfolio (including anti-malware, host-based firewall/IPS, application control, device control, patch management, and integrated management spanning these functions); convergence strategies for endpoint security and management.
Among these nine top providers, Kaspersky Lab was placed among four market's "Leaders". According to Forrester, Kaspersky Endpoint Security"has made significant improvements in its enterprise support features". Highlighting the extensive security strength and attractive pricing of KES, Forrester expects many organisations to consider Kaspersky Lab's endpoint security solution for their short-list.
Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, commented: "Every one of us faces the problem of choice every day. The same goes for company managers too - just in the business area. And since our recent research shows that half of all CEOs and CIOs consider cyber-threats to be the top business risk of all, it's clear that choices made with regard to security software are vital for business. Forrester's Wave ratings help managers make the right decisions when choosing optimal solutions for protecting their businesses against all types of cyber threats. We're always striving to maintain the provision of superior protection for our clients, and we feel that this has been acknowledged by Forrester in this report and we are very pleased that we've been included in the "Leaders" group in this rating."
Kaspersky Lab has a broad range of corporate clients - over 250,000 companies worldwide, ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to large commercial and government organisations. The company's corporate solutions meet all the key demands placed on information security systems for businesses and state organisations.
