ExtraHop Ranked Third for 2019 Market Share in Network Intelligence and Threat Analytics

ExtraHop Also Named a “Vendor Who Shaped the Year” by Leading Analyst Organization

ExtraHop, the leader in cloud-native network detection and response, announced that it was ranked third for 2019 market share by IDC as part of its recently released report “Worldwide Network Intelligence and Threat Analytics Market Shares, 2019: How the Network Is Used to Unmask the Adversary.” The research assessed the Network Intelligence and Threat Analytics (NITA) Market, which the authors state “roughly tracks to a more common industry acronym: network detection and response (NDR).”

Thirty-three vendors are included in the research, with IDC estimating that the category has now reached over $1.3 billion in annual revenue, growing 24 percent year-over-year. The top three vendors in the report by revenue, including ExtraHop, account for over a third of that total revenue. The growth experienced by ExtraHop outpaced the category overall, with 42 percent year-over-year growth.

“What seems like a natural extension of the network is that the mobility of data, the actions of users, and performance-related criteria could be turned on its head to be used to find indicators of compromise (IoCs), and chart the path of the adversary,” says Chris Kissel, research director, Security and Trust Products at IDC. “What has been somewhat surprising is that by way of extending the network to include work-from-home employees, network intelligence and threat analytics (NITA) vendors have been a large part of the cybersecurity stack in 2020.”
