Key Findings
• More than half the respondents (62.98%) have been using an endpoint security solution for some time.
• It is surprising to note that 14.89% are not using any endpoint security solution.
• The rest of the respondents (22.13%) are either in the process of evaluating a solution, implementing
a solution, or conducting pilot trials.
• Almost half the respondents (46.38%) agree that an endpoint security solution offers better or real-
time endpoint and application visibility.
• A quarter of the respondents (25.11%) said there was increased usage of mobile devices and endpoints
in their organizations.
• A fifth (20.85%) agreed there was increased volume and complexity of breaches.

or the other.

• Two-thirds (62.55%) said their endpoint solution included managed endpoint detection services
while a little over one-third (37.45%) said they were not using such services.
• More than half the respondents (52.34%) said the main factor in deciding the type of endpoint solution
they want is the technical capability of the solution.
• A third of the respondents (32.77%) said the biggest challenge is the complexity of deploying,
managing, and using the endpoint solution.
