CATEGORIZATION OF CYBERSECURITY VENDORS ON 360QUADRANTS

Cybersecurity software vendors’ evaluation was conducted for over 89 companies, of which the top 20 were categorized and placed in a quadrant under Visionary Leaders, Innovators, Dynamic Differentiators, and Emerging Leaders.

Microsoft, AWS, Palo Alto, IBM, McAfee, Trend Micro, Mandiant (FireEye), Fortinet, and Cisco have been identified as visionary leaders on 360Quadrants. Visionary leaders are the leading market players in terms of new developments such as product launches, innovative technologies, and the adoption of growth strategies. These players have a broad product offering that caters to most of the regions globally. Visionary leaders primarily focus on acquiring the leading market position through their strong financial capabilities and their well-established brand equity.

Alert Logic, Malwarebytes, Avast, OpenText (Webroot), Kaspersky, and eSentire have been identified as innovators on 360Quadrants. Innovators are those vendors that have demonstrated substantial product innovations as compared to their competitors. These companies have focused on enhancing their product portfolios.

Arctic Wolf, Code42, and Havoc Shield have been identified as emerging leaders on 360Quadrants. Emerging companies have niche product and service offerings. Their business strategies are not as strong as that of the established vendors. The emerging vendors include the new entrants in the market (emerging in terms of product portfolio and geographic reach) and require time to gain significant traction in the market.

Qualys, RSA Security, and F5 Networks have been recognized as dynamic differentiators on 360Quadrants. Dynamic differentiators are established players with very strong business strategies. However, they have a weaker product portfolio compared to the visionary leaders. They generally focus only on a specific type of technology related to the product.

360Quadrants Scoring Methodology

These vendors were assessed based on more than 120 specifically selected parameters, which were finalized based on the product and business strategies of the software providers, and the data received from the buyers as well as the industry experts. All these parameters were assigned a specific weightage, post which they were measured as well. This study also helps the analysts calculate the total score based on which cybersecurity software vendors were ranked and positioned on 360Quadrants.
