Positive Technologies recognized as a leader in the global XDR market in the SPARK Matrix ranking
1 QKS Group, formerly Quadrant Knowledge Solutions, is a global analyst and advisory firm. The company researches technology markets and helps businesses, vendors, and investors make data-driven decisions. One of the firm's key products is the SPARK Matrix ranking, which compares vendors across industries and technology segments.
MaxPatrol Endpoint Security brings together the capabilities of two products on a single platform: MaxPatrol EPP, which protects endpoints against malware and widespread threats, and MaxPatrol EDR, which detects and helps respond to advanced cyberattacks. One of the key evaluation factors was the solution's ability to integrate with other Positive Technologies products: MaxPatrol SIEM for security event monitoring, MaxPatrol VM for vulnerability management, PT Sandbox for analyzing suspicious files in an isolated environment, PT NAD for detecting advanced and targeted attacks inside the network, and PT ISIM for strengthening the cyber resilience of industrial infrastructure. Together, these tools collect and analyze data from multiple sources, enabling security teams to detect sophisticated targeted attacks, automatically stop malicious processes, isolate infected devices, remove dangerous files, and send suspicious files for further analysis.
"Positive Technologies was named among the leaders in the XDR market thanks to its comprehensive approach to threat detection and response. The company builds on many years of in-house attack research expertise: PT Expert Security Center (PT ESC) regularly updates detection rules and helps organizations identify new attacker techniques. PT NAD and PT ISIM technologies provide additional visibility, enabling threat detection across network and industrial infrastructure. Together with the solution's modular architecture and the vendor's comprehensive support for controlled deployment in the customer's environment, these capabilities demonstrate the company's technological strength, innovation, and impact on the industry".

"International researchers classify comprehensive solutions such as MaxPatrol Endpoint Security as XDR. Positive Technologies is actively expanding its presence in the global endpoint security market. Our leadership in the SPARK Matrix ranking, along with favorable feedback from customers across different countries, demonstrates the positive results of this effort. We will continue to develop this product stack and introduce new technologies to detect attackers as quickly as possible".

The company's strong position in the endpoint security market is also supported by research from the Center for Strategic Research (CSR). According to the report, this product category is one of the largest segments of the Russian cybersecurity market. In 2025, it grew by 14.9% and exceeded RUB 40 billion. The segment is expected to continue its rapid development, driven by long-term growth factors such as increasingly sophisticated threats, the development of MDR-as-a-service and SOC-as-a-service models, regulatory pressure, the expansion of cloud and hybrid infrastructures, and new risks associated with AI adoption. According to CSR experts, Positive Technologies is well positioned to compete for leadership in this segment, especially given the trend toward cybersecurity platformization.
