SubscribeKaspersky Lab announces that it has been positioned in The Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms.
Kaspersky Lab, a leading provider of Internet security software solutions that protect against viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, crimeware, rootkits, phishing, hacker attacks and spam, today announced that it has been positioned in the visionaries quadrant in Gartner's “2007 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP)”[1] report, which focuses on current security technologies for the protection of corprate network end nodes for the SMB and large enterprise market.
Endpoint Protection Platforms
Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms is based on an assessment of a company's ability to execute and completeness of vision. As referenced by Gartner, "Visionaries invest in the leading/"bleeding"-edge features that will be significant in the next generation of products and will give buyers early access to improved security and management." This report also states that, “Point products for antivirus, anti-spyware, personal firewalls and host-based intrusion prevention (HIPS) are rapidly being replaced by suites with a centralised and extensible management framework. The management and reporting capability of endpoint protection platform (EPP) suites is a substantial differentiator, especially in large enterprises.”
“During the past three years, Kaspersky Lab has experienced exponential growth, today protecting more than 250 million users. The rapid global adoption of our products and technologies underscores the strength of our approach to protecting corporations from malicious Internet attacks,” said Eugene Kaspersky, Co-Founder and CEO of Kaspersky Lab. “In my opinion, being recognised in the visionaries quadrant by Gartner is yet another important milestone as we continue our drive to deliver best-of-breed security technologies for businesses both large and small.”
