GARTNER RESEARCH ENDPOINT MALWARE

Gartner Research Endpoint: MAKE SENSE OF ENDPOINT MALWARE TECHNOLOGY – A NEW GARTNER RESEARCH REPORT

Gartner Research Report Abstract: The goal of endpoint malware protection is a solution that offers low administrative overhead, low end-user impact and the best available protection. Security and risk management leaders can make educated trade-offs within endpoint protection to achieve two of these three aims. Analysis in this report and document includes:

• Signature Technology in a Layered Protection and Detection Strategy
• Machine Learning to Reduce the Reliance on the Distribution of Signature Updates
• EDR or EPP Tools
• Application Control/Whitelisting
• Application Isolation
• Reduce the Attack Surface With Technologies That Look for Signs of a Malicious Outcome
• Behavioral Analysis
• Exploit Technique Mitigation
• Security Postures:
  • Default Allow (with Machine Learning and A.I. Scan)
  • Default Deny
  • Default Deny with Auto-Containment
