Platform Players Getting Into The Game

Campbell said that in an ideal world a single platform could solve all the customer needs around endpoint security, including from both EPP and EDR solutions. He predicted that by this time next year there would start to be more companies offering both sides of the equation, a push this industry is already starting to see from incumbent vendors, as well as standa-lone endpoint security vendors such as Carbon Black. It remains to be seen which vendors will emerge as the leading platform players, he said, with mergers and acquisitions likely playing a large role in which company pulls ahead.
