McAfee Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Analyst Firm’s Magic Quadrant for Network Intrusion Prevention
December 09 2010 - 1:17PM
Business Wire
McAfee (NYSE: MFE) today announced that leading research firm
Gartner, Inc. has placed the company in the “Leaders” quadrant in
its “Magic Quadrant for Network Intrusion Prevention System
Appliances,” as published on Dec. 6, 2010.1 This is the 5th time in
a row that McAfee has been acknowledged as a leader in Gartner’s
Network Intrusion Prevention Magic Quadrant.
According to Gartner, vendors listed in the Leaders quadrant
“demonstrate balanced progress and effort in all execution and
vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all
products in the market, and they can change the course of the
industry. To remain leaders, vendors must demonstrate a track
record of delivering successfully in enterprise IPS deployments and
in winning competitive assessments. Leaders produce products that
provide high signature quality and low latency, are innovating with
or ahead of customer challenges (such as using endpoint
intelligence to make more-efficient detections) and have a range of
models. Leaders continually win selections and are consistently
visible on enterprise shortlists. However, a leading vendor is not
a default choice for every buyer, and clients should not assume
that they must buy only from vendors in the Leaders quadrant.”
Factors contributing to a company’s ability to execute include
products and services, overall viability, sales and marketing
execution, and customer experience. Gartner evaluates a company’s
completeness of vision by considering its market understanding,
sales and marketing strategy, offering or product strategy,
business model, and innovation.
“Customers and partners turn to the McAfee® Network IPS
solutions because of our comprehensive, integrated and proven
approach to network security,” said Rees Johnson, senior vice
president and general manager for network security at McAfee. “Our
position in the Leader’s quadrant of this highly-regarded network
IPS assessment confirms our relentless commitment to Network IPS
and Network Security. Our approach offers both superior protection
and decreased maintenance costs.”
Since pioneering the IPS industry with the world’s first
purpose-built intrusion detection and prevention appliance, the
McAfee® Network Security Platform has continued to raise the bar
for next-generation IPS technology. Earlier this quarter, McAfee
was recognized in the NSS Labs IPS comparative vendor study, and
had the highest accuracy and throughput of any product tested to
date.
“We believe the NSS comparative study, combined with Gartner’s
independent evaluation of our Network IPS solutions, demonstrates
our undisputed leadership in Network IPS and Network Security,”
said Johnson.
