Positioned the Highest for Ability to
Execute
McAfee, part of Intel Security, today announced that leading
analyst firm Gartner has once again positioned Intel Security
(McAfee) as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data
Protection and positioned the highest for ability to execute as
published on September 8, 20141. This achievement marks seven
consecutive years of Intel Security (McAfee) as a Leader of the
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection. Intel Security’s
(McAfee) primary goal is to deliver data protection to its
customers and assist them in meeting compliance requirements,
protecting against loss, theft, unauthorized access and helping to
secure transfer of confidential information.
Data breaches can be very costly, with the economic impact of
cybercrime at $445 billion2. The cause of a breach can come from
many sources, both internal and external. These risks can be easily
mitigated by encrypting data on all endpoints and removable media,
without affecting end user productivity. According to the latest
2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, which Intel
Security (McAfee) was a contributor to, physical theft and loss is
a key area where risk can be minimized, “considering the high
frequency of lost assets, encryption is as close to a no-brainer
solution as it gets for this incident pattern.3”
“Our data protection solutions provide customers with a
comprehensive set of tools to protect their critical data and help
meet compliance requirements,” said Candace Worley, senior vice
president and general manager of endpoint protection at McAfee,
part of Intel Security. “We believe our position as a leader in the
Magic Quadrant once again affirms that our data protection products
continue to advance and provide our customers with robust, highly
integrated solutions and automated workflow tools to make data
protection easy to use, manage, and own.”
Intel Security’s data protection solutions help a wide range of
customers protect their data including those in health, education,
finance and local, state and federal governments worldwide.
Customers use Intel Security (McAfee) data protection solutions to
secure laptops, desktops, shared files, CDs, DVDs and removable
media, as well as securing data on smartphones and tablets.
“Congratulations to Intel Security (McAfee) on this
achievement,” stated Pavel Balašov, head of identity and security
services at Swedbank. “We’ve had Intel Security as our security
solutions provider for over 15 years. The Security Connected
strategy and central management capabilities are very beneficial
our organization because we’re able to gain full visibility into
our security posture at any time. Intel Security’s continuous
commitment to its customers has motivated us to use their security
solutions and keep our data safe and secure.”
