According to Gartner, “To face emerging endpoint security challenges, security and risk management leaders must combine functionality from endpoint protection platforms, endpoint detection and response, and mobile threat defense in a unified endpoint security approach.” Download Gartner Research: Innovation Insight for Unified Endpoint Security, 2020 for more guidance.
In much the same way that endpoint management tools converged to a single unified endpoint management (UEM) solution, security tools are following a path from point solutions of endpoint protection platforms (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and mobile threat defense (MTD) to a converged UES framework.
