Today Gartner released the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms and we’re excited to announce Invincea was named a “Visionary.” The placement in the Magic Quadrant is an incredible honor for our company, and our flagship next-gen antivirus product, X by Invincea. We believe this was based on our incredible rate of adoption, customer reviews, and strong third party validation. This year the Magic Quadrant shows the tectonic shifts the endpoint protection marketplace is under-going, one not seen in this segment in decades.
This market shift in the antivirus space is being driven by two main factors. First, traditional AV vendors that have failed to innovate as threats evolve, and are losing ground not only against attackers, but also in the market. Second, disruption is coming from a small group of “next-generation” antivirus vendors that are remaking the industry with a new core set of machine learning technology. Invincea is one of five next-generation antivirus companies highlighted in the Magic Quadrant report; all of us sit in the Visionaries quadrant. So what makes Invincea unique?
Invincea Key Differentiators:
Superior Technology: The machine learning component of X by Invincea was created by the data scientists at Invincea Labs. Using deep learning, an advanced form of machine learning, it stops unknown and known malware with the highest detection rates and lowest false positives in the industry.
“Invincea Labs provides a unique research, testing and development platform that benefits its corporate entity through the productization of mature ideas, such as X”*
Unparalleled Performance: X by Invincea’s performance-first approach has received some of the highest performance scores ever seen in third party testing, detecting and stopping threats within 20 milliseconds. X by Invincea’s detection rate of over 99% with less than 1% false positives makes it the #1 performing antivirus on the market. In fact, AV-TEST CTO Mike Morgenstern stated “Invincea had one of the best performance scores we have ever seen in our tests”
“Invincea X was one of two next-generation anti-malware solutions selected for inclusion in the VirusTotal scanning engine.”*
Stops the Widest Range of Threats: X by Invincea utilizes multiple advanced techniques, including deep learning, behavioral monitoring, and isolation all within a single lightweight agent. X stops known and unknown malware without signatures, detects and kills file-less attacks, and prevents spear phishing attacks from succeeding.
“Invincea provides a unique hybrid solution consisting of a next-generation machine learning and behavioral monitoring anti-malware solution with optional virtual container/application isolation”*
Open, Transparent, & Easy to Do Business with: Invincea openly collaborates with industry organizations including VirusTotal and AMTSO™, and is tested and rated at the top by independent third party testing institutions with the highest detection rates and lowest false positives. The company has an established practice of developing valuable partnerships with organizations to not only win the fight against malware, but also build long-term strategic relationships with customers.
“Invincea’s innovative “test drive” program provides a fully configured test environment for prospects to try the solution on their own, with supplied malware and bring-your-own-malware support.”*
We believe Invincea being named as a Visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms is a huge testament and validation to our approach to using machine learning to protect against previously unknown attacks. Don’t just take Gartner’s word for it, get your hands on X by Invincea and take it for a test drive. We welcome everyone to test X by Invincea against any other solution on the market to show you why we are the #1 performing next-generation antivirus.
