GARTNER^®^ MAGIC QUADRANT^™^

# A 4X Leader in EPP

## Built for Endpoints. Ready for Agents.

## A 4X Gartner^®^ Magic Quadrant™ for EPP Leader. Built for the Agentic Era.

Gartner^®^ has named Palo Alto Networks a Leader in Endpoint Protection Platforms for the fourth consecutive year. We believe our repeated recognition is built on a single, uncompromising goal: stopping advanced attacks where others see gaps..

While AI agents are revolutionizing enterprise productivity, they've introduced an entirely new attack surface that legacy EDR simply wasn't built to protect. As the pioneer of XDR, we're defining what's next by securing this new frontier.

Download the 2026 report to see why we're recognized and learn how we're working with this agentic era..

**Our Key Takeaways**

* **Secure agentic AI:** Gain unprecedented visibility, guardrails and control over AI agents and agentic tools before they become a liability.

* **Stop the unseen:** Leverage battle-tested, industry-leading prevention powered by behavioral analytics.

* **Unify your defense:** Consolidate your endpoint and workspace security with a proven, four-time industry Leader.
