Cybersecurity Solution Providers
Top Cybersecurity Companies
1. Fortinet
Fortinet has been steadily building a reputation as one of the top security companies around. Its revenues are increasing at a fast clip, it comes up repeatedly in eSecurity Planet top vendor lists, has high customer satisfaction ratings and does well in analyst ratings. Gartner gave it top place in unified threat management (UTM), and it was named a Leader in next-gen firewalls (NGFW).
2. KnowBe4
KnowBe4 is on a rocket ride. A startup getting to Unicorn status (valued at a billion or more) on the back of security training is quite a feat. But constant breaches of organizations large and small, and a trail of victims to ransomware and phishing opened a massive opportunity. This company has risen from Niche Player a couple of years back to being number one in security training, according to Gartner.
3. CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike Falcon is popular with analysts and users alike. Falcon is near the top in raw security scores, but when factoring in the product’s advanced features, it wound up with an overall Detection score well above any other vendor on this list. It also scored high in Response, Management, Ease of Use, and Support. Users score it high in capabilities, implementation, cloud-based management, and Linux and technical support, among other areas.
4. Malwarebytes
Among Malwarebytes’ suite of cybersecurity products, their EDR solution has grown significantly in terms of feature offerings. Brute Force Protection focusses on Windows machine weaknesses created by the increasing number of remote employees at most enterprises. Their cloud solution receives positive reviews from users, and the platform works well alongside other security tools.
5. Cisco
Cisco’s roots are in networking but by necessity it has expanded into security and storage. Over the years, it has built up a wide range of security products, including firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), UTM, malware protection and cloud protection.
6. Splunk
Splunk is the darling of the IT Service Management (ITSM) market. But it has expanded from ITSM into security and operations management. The Splunk platform is used by many to perform security analytics and for SIEM.
7. Microsoft
Microsoft has quietly built up a large security portfolio. This includes Active Directory for identity and access management, Windows Defender, Azure cloud security services such as Security Center, Key Vault, Azure DDoS Protection, Azure Information Protection and Application Gateway for protecting Web applications.
8. IBM
IBM offers plenty of cybersecurity solutions, including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), orchestration and incident response platform, cloud security and lots more. It isn’t the fastest in adding updates, and customer ratings aren’t great; but it is well rated by analysts (Gartner Leader in access management and managed security services), graded high by Cybersecurity Ventures and comes up continually in eSecurity Planet top product lists.
9. McAfee
McAfee has been a major player in security for a long time. It doesn’t seem to dominate any particular slice of the market, but it offers a lot of products that do consistently well in diverse areas. This includes antivirus, identity protection, SIEM (where Gartner names it a Leader), endpoint protection (graded a Visionary by Gartner) and secure web gateways (Gartner Challenger).
