Webroot Recognized as Trailblazer in 2019 Radicati Endpoint Security Quadrant

BROOMFIELD - November 19, 2019

Webroot, a Carbonite (NASDAQ: CARB) company, has been recognized as a “Trail Blazer” in The Radicati Group’s Endpoint Security Market Quadrant for 2019. This is the eighth year in a row that Webroot has received this placement.

The report evaluates key vendors in the endpoint security space on functionality and strategic vision. According to Radicati, a Trail Blazer is a vendor who offers advanced, best-of-breed technology and has the potential to disrupt a market. In particular, Radicati cites several key strengths of Webroot® Business Endpoint Protection, including its ease of management, the small installation footprint, light system performance, the ability to work with any browser and coexist in environments with other endpoint security platforms. Additionally, Radicati lauds Webroot for its Dwell Time reporting, which informs IT staff at which point in time an endpoint was infected and how long it took Webroot protection to detect and remediate the threat—effectively enabling better post-breach forensics and analysis.
