Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway
Premier research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc. has placed McAfee in the Leaders Quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway.”
According to Gartner, “Leaders are high-momentum vendors (based on sales and ‘mind share’ growth) with established track records in web gateway security, as well as business investments that indicate they are well-positioned for the future. Leaders do not necessarily offer the best products and services for every customer project. However, they provide solutions that offer relatively lower risk.”
In the report, Gartner notes, “Anti-malware capabilities should be the most heavily weighted criterion when evaluating secure web gateways (SWGs). Bidirectional protection (blocking inbound malware and analyzing outbound traffic to detect compromised endpoints) is critical.”
McAfee offers a complete portfolio of web gateway security solutions that address these issues and more. "We consider McAfee's position as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway confirmation of our ability to provide the most advanced preemptive technologies running flexibly across appliances, virtual appliances and cloud-based offerings, delivering customers a high return on their investment." said Marc Olesen, senior vice president and general manager, Content and Cloud Security at McAfee.
