Endpoint security getting a boost from AI and machine learning

Endpoint security is being enhanced with the help of AI and machine learning. Attackers target vulnerable endpoints and use social engineering to gain unauthorized access. Forrester evaluated several endpoint security providers and found that they have evolved to incorporate behavioral analysis, prevention, vulnerability management, and advanced threat prevention. AI and ML can assist in identifying attacker's intent and detecting breaches. Trends in the endpoint security market include a focus on prevention, consolidation, and transitioning to EDR or XDR platforms. CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, Bitdefender, and Microsoft are among the leaders in the market.
