Overview According to Gartner, the personal firewall (PFW) market in 2006 is transitioning from best-of-breed products to endpoint security suites that combine PFW with malicious code defenses such as antivirus and antispyware, as well as policy enforcement based on physical device port defense and some form of network access control (NAC). This report summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each of the main players in the PFW market and ranks those companies as Leaders, Visionaries, Challengers, or Niche Players based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.
