Webroot today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, has named OpenText to the 20 Coolest Endpoint And Managed Security Companies Of 2022!

OpenText added network detection and response to its Security and Protection Cloud through the acquisition of Bricata, which analyzes network traffic for vulnerabilities. It also acquired email securit y vendor Zix and integrated it with Carbonite and Webroot to create a powerhouse SMB platform.

The CRN Security 100 list has evolved as the lack of a network perimeter in a COVID-19 world accelerated the adoption of secure access service edge, extended detection and response, and zero-trust offerings, all aimed at ensuring remote users are protected. This list examines 100 vendors across five market segments to guide solution providers on where to place their bets in a crowded market.

Endpoint security solutions protect the network and the entry-points that bridge internal data with externally connected devices such as laptops and smartphones. The global endpoint security market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.3 percent over the next several years, going from $13.99 billion in 2021 to $24.58 billion in 2028, according to Fortune Business Insights.
