Furthermore, integrating SafeGuard with the Sophos product line will bring the benefits and protection of encryption to a much boarder user base.
- Sophos Endpoint Security and Control will be enhanced with the SafeGuard encryption technology to give you the option of adding comprehensive data protection at the endpoint. Choosing this option will enable you to benefit from integrated proactive protection from data loss, viruses, unauthorized applications, and unmanaged computers.
- Sophos NAC's endpoint assessment and control capabilities will be extended to include data security checks allowing customers to significantly reduce the burden of complying with today’s security regulations.
Gartner Magic Quadrants
Gartner places both Sophos and Utimaco in its leaders quadrant.
Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms 2007
The management and reporting capability of EPP (Endpoint Protection Platforms) suites is a substantial differentiator especially in large enterprise
Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection 2008
Buyers want products that work equivalently across multiple platforms, need minimal support, provide for common policies and extend protections to removable media
To be seen as a leader by Gartner, an organization must demonstrate ability to execute and a completeness of vision. Its solutions must raise the competitive bar for all products in the market and have the potential to change the course of the industry.
