Microsoft has been recognized as a leader in the cloud and application runtime security market by Frost & Sullivan. The research firm's latest Frost Radar report places Microsoft at the forefront of this rapidly evolving security domain.
The report emphasizes a significant trend in the industry: a move towards reducing risk by understanding context. This approach focuses on how vulnerabilities and exposures can intersect across both cloud infrastructure and application layers to create viable attack paths for threat actors.
Frost & Sullivan attributes Microsoft's leading position to several key factors. These include the company's broad and integrated security ecosystem, the robust capabilities offered by Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and its synergy with Microsoft Defender XDR. The extensive reach of Microsoft's customer base also plays a role in its market standing.
