Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Endpoint Security, 2022

This Hype Cycle illustrates the most relevant innovations in the endpoint security space for security leaders to adopt and put in place to address challenges. With evolving techniques and technologies, two trends emerge: an increase in the complexity and number of endpoint attacks; and a continuation of remote working becoming mainstream.

Ransomware is still top of mind, while fileless and phishing attacks emerge as favorite attack vectors. For a second time, XDR emerges in the Hype Cycle with signs of becoming mainstream. The more recent concept of unified endpoint security (UES) is advancing in the Hype Cycle; it combines elements of endpoint detection and response (EDR), endpoint protection platforms (EPP) and mobile threat defense (MTD). With remote work morphing into hybrid, practices and technologies enable and secure the remote and hybrid workforce. Find out which new capabilities have reached their full maturity and adoption becoming mainstream.
