Gartner Magic Quadrant 2008
The Data Security Company, today announced that Gartner has
positioned the company in the Leaders Quadrant of the Mobile Data
Protection 2008 Magic Quadrant.
"We are very ecited about our inclusion in Gartner's Leader
Quadrant. This placement confirms that our comprehensive product
suite, road map and mission are in lockstep with customers'
requirements," said Martin Wuelfert, chief executive officer,
Utimaco. "Our financial results continue to be very strong and we
partner with some of the world's largest and best-known technology
brands to deliver true customer value."
According to Gartner, "Leaders have products that work well for
Gartner clients in small and large deployments. They have long-term
road maps that follow and/or influence Gartner's vision of the
developing needs of buyers in the market. Leaders make their
competitors' sales staffs nervous and force competitors' technical
staffs to follow their lead. Their MDP products are well-known to
clients, and they encounter little resistance in selling their
products."
Utimaco brings tremendous value to enterprise customers through
key management systems that ensure its flagship product, SafeGuard
Enterprise, is highly interoperable with other systems and easy to
use. Utimaco also boasts partnerships with top vendors including
Microsoft, Seagate, Intel and Lenovo to make it easy for enterprise
customers to ensure end point systems are highly secure while
reducing the total cost of ownership associated with supporting
multiple end point agents.
Holding FIPS (140-2 Levels 1-4) and CC Certifications (EAL4)
means that Utimaco has the critical security certifications
necessary for organizations that need a vendor who can prove their
solutions are of the highest caliber. Utimaco also supports
multiple platforms including Linux, Palm OS, Symbian, Windows
Mobile, Windows XP and Vista.
