Microsoft again ranked number one in modern endpoint security market share

Today’s remote workforce has become the standard. But the security challenges created by remote work continue to be a key point of exploitation by bad actors. In fact, 80% to 90% of all successful ransomware compromises originate through unmanaged devices.1 Because endpoints are a broadly targeted vector and remote work necessitates so many varied endpoints, organizations need to ensure their endpoint security is part of a comprehensive and robust detection and response strategy, to disrupt ransomware and minimize risk.

We are excited to share that Microsoft has again been ranked number one in market share in the IDC Worldwide Modern Endpoint Security Market Shares, 2023: Evolving to Address New Work Modalities (doc #US52341924, June 2024).

And with more than 25.8% of the market share, Microsoft has the endpoint security solution more customers use to defend their multiplatform devices than any other vendor. As depicted in Figure 1, that’s a 40.7% increase in share over the previous year. Thanks to the invaluable partnership with organizations of all sizes around the globe, this distinction comes in addition to Microsoft being recognized as a Leader in the 2024 IDC MarketScape reports for Worldwide Modern Endpoint Security across all three segments—enterprise2, midsize3, and small businesses4—the only vendor positioned in the “Leaders” category in all three reports.
