2012 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection

Information you need to choose the right encryption product

The 2012 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection is the definitive tool for evaluating the best vendors in the encryption marketplace.

Your data is always in motion—encryption keeps it safe when it leaves your network.

According to Gartner:

Mobile data protection products secure data on storage systems in notebooks and removable media, but also work on desktops and servers. Buyers want common protection policies across multiple platforms, minimal support costs and proof that data is protected.

We believe we’re a leader because we’re addressing the increasing needs of a global market that demands more than just encryption. Data protection is a core component of our complete security value proposition, the full security layer for corporate IT.

Earlier this year we introduced the latest versions of Sophos SafeGuard Enterprise and Sophos Mobile Control. With the industry’s first enterprise cloud encryption capabilities, Sophos SafeGuard protects critical data in public, private and hybrid cloud environments.

What is a Magic Quadrant Leader?

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 are frequently found on RFP shortlists.
