Inc. has placed the company in the leaders quadrant in its “Magic
Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention,” as published on June

“Our customers and their business-sensitive data need monitoring and
protection as the threat landscape continues to evolve. McAfee delivers
cost-effective, intuitive data discovery and features that not only

According to Gartner, vendors who appear in the leader’s quadrant “have
demonstrated good understanding of client needs and offer comprehensive
capabilities in all three functional areas — network, discovery and
endpoint — directly or through well-established partnerships and tight
integration. They offer aggressive road maps, and they will need to
execute on those road maps, fully incorporate enhanced features
currently in development and address evolving market needs to remain in
the Leaders quadrant.”

protection as the threat landscape continues to evolve. McAfee delivers
cost-effective, intuitive data discovery and features that not only
protect the business, but enable it,” said Marc Olesen, senior vice
president & general manager of Content Security at McAfee. “Cost and
complexity have always been, and will continue to be, a major concern

data loss protection technology into and across corporate security
infrastructure, including agents, web, mail, and cloud offerings to
simultaneously drive simplicity while increasing capability and scale
