Microsoft Security—a Leader in 5 Gartner Magic Quadrants

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/microsoft-security-a-leader-in-5-gartner-magic-quadrants.png" width="1282" height="1282" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Gartner has named Microsoft Security a Leader in five Magic Quadrants. This is exciting news that we believe speaks to the breadth and depth of our security offerings. Gartner places vendors as Leaders who demonstrate balanced progress and effort in all execution and vision categories. This means that Leaders not only have the people and capabilities to deliver strong solutions today, they also understand the market and have a strategy for meeting customer needs in the future. Microsoft was identified as a Leader in the following five security areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) solutions<sup>1</sup></li>
<li>Access Management<sup>2</sup></li>
<li>Enterprise Information Archiving<sup>3</sup></li>
<li>Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) tools<sup>4</sup></li>
<li>Endpoint Protection Platforms<sup>5</sup></li>
</ul>
<p>Given this, Microsoft Security doesn’t just deliver strong security products in five crucial security areas only. We provide a comprehensive set of security solutions that are built to work together, from identity and access management to threat protection to information protection and cloud security.</p>
<p>Our products integrate easily and share intelligence from the trillions of signals generated daily on the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph. And they work with non-Microsoft solutions too. You can monitor and safeguard your assets across clouds—whether you use Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Slack, Salesforce, or all the above.</p>
<p>By unifying security tools, you get visibility into your entire environment across on-premises and the cloud, to better protect all your users, data, devices, and applications. Today, we’ll review the five areas where Microsoft is recognized as a Leader in security.</p>
<h3>A Leader in CASB</h3>
<p>Our cloud security solutions provide cross-cloud protection, whether you use Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform—or all three. We also help you safeguard your data in third-party apps like Salesforce and Slack.</p>
<p>Gartner named Microsoft a Leader in CASB based on the ability to execute and completeness of vision. Cloud App Security provides rich visibility into your shadow IT, enables you to identify and remediate cloud native attacks, and allows you to control how your data travels across all your cloud apps—whether they’re from Microsoft or third-party applications.</p>
<p>As Gartner says in the CASB Magic Quadrant, “platforms from leading CASB vendors were born in the cloud and designed for the cloud. They have a deeper understanding of users, devices, applications, transactions, and sensitive data than CASB functions designed to be extensions of traditional network security and SWG security technologies.”</p>
<p>We work closely with customer to improve our products, which is one of the reasons our customer base for Cloud App Security continues to grow.</p>

<h3>A Leader in Access Management</h3>
<p>Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a universal identity and access management platform that provides the right people the right access to the right resources. It safeguards identities and simplifies access for users. Users sign in once with a single identity to access all the apps they need—whether they’re on-premises apps, Microsoft apps, or third-party cloud apps. Microsoft was recognized for high scores in market understanding and customer experience.</p>
<p>Gartner says, “Vendors that have developed Access Management as a service have risen in popularity. Gartner estimates that 90 percent or more of clients based in North America and approximately 65 percent in Europe and the Asia/Pacific region countries are also seeking SaaS-delivered models for new Access Management purchases. This demonstrates a preference for agility, quicker time to new features, elimination of continual software upgrades, reduction of supported infrastructure and other SaaS versus software benefits demonstrated in the market.”</p>

<h3>A Leader in Enterprise Information Archiving</h3>
<p>Enterprise information archiving solutions help organizations archive emails, instant messages, SMS, and social media content. Gartner recognized us as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant based on ability to execute and completeness of vision.</p>
<p>Gartner estimates, “By 2023, 45 percent of enterprise customers will adopt an enterprise information archiving (EIA) solution to meet new requirements driven by data privacy regulations; this is a major increase from five percent in 2019.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/microsoft-security-a-leader-in-5-gartner-magic-quadrants-2.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img class="alignnone wp-image-90256 size-full" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/microsoft-security-a-leader-in-5-gartner-magic-quadrants-2.png" alt="Gartner graph showing Microsoft as a Leader in Enterprise Information Archiving." width="1050" height="1050"></a></p>
<h3>A Leader in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)</h3>
<p>Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions provide a comprehensive solution to manage mobile devices and traditional endpoints, like PCs and Macs. Microsoft’s solution, Microsoft Intune, lets you securely support company-provided devices and bring your own device policies. You can even protect company apps and data on unmanaged devices. We have seen rapid growth in Intune deployments and expect that growth to continue.</p>
<p>Gartner noted that, “Leaders are identified as those vendors with strong execution and vision scores with products that exemplify the suite of functions that assist organizations in managing a diverse field of mobile and traditional endpoints. Leaders provide tools that catalyze the migration of PCs from legacy CMT management tools to modern, UEM-based management.”</p>
<p>Intune is built to work with other Microsoft 365 security solutions, such as <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise-mobility-security/cloud-app-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cloud App Security</a> and <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/active-directory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Azure AD</a> to unify your security approach across all your clouds and devices. As Gartner writes, “Achieving a truly simplified, single-console approach to endpoint management promises many operational benefits.”</p>

<h3>A Leader in Endpoint Protection Platforms</h3>
<p>Our threat protection solutions provide tools to identify, investigate, and respond to threats across all your endpoints. Gartner named Microsoft a Leader for Endpoint Protection Platforms, recognizing our products and our strengths and ability to execute and completeness of vision. Azure Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) detects and investigates advanced attacks on-premises and in the cloud. Windows Defender Antivirus protects PCs against software threats like viruses, malware, and spyware across email, apps, the cloud, and the web.</p>
<p>Gartner says, “A Leader in this category will have broad capabilities in advanced malware protection, and proven management capabilities for large-enterprise accounts.”</p>
