Palo Alto Networks®, the next-generation security company, today announced that its Traps™ advanced endpoint protection offering was recognised by Forrester® Research as a strong performer among endpoint security suite providers.
In the report, “The Forrester Wave™: Endpoint Security Suites, Q4 2016,” Forrester noted, “Palo Alto Networks offers strong malware-prevention and exploit-blocking capabilities.” According to Forrester, “As traditional approaches to endpoint security become outdated and less effective, improved threat detection accuracy and automatic containment measures will dictate which providers lead the pack.”1
The Forrester Endpoint Security Suite Wave analysed Traps version 3.3 alongside technologies from 14 other vendors using 25 different criteria. In August 2016, Palo Alto Networks released Traps version 3.4 with enhancements, including static analysis via machine learning, trusted publisher identification, quarantine of malicious executables, and grayware classification.
