Symantec Receives Top Score for Current
Offering, Strategy and Market Presence
Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC), the world’s leading cyber
security company, today announced it has been named a “Leader” in
the Forrester Research Inc. report, The Forrester Wave™: Data Loss
Prevention Suites, Q4 2016.
Comprehensive Data Loss Prevention Suite with Robust
Capabilities
The Forrester Wave: Data Loss Prevention Suites, Q4 2016
provides security and risk professionals with evaluations of the
most significant Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions along with an
overview of the current market for DLP. To compile the report,
Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of top DLP suite
vendors. Symantec was given the highest possible score across 23
criteria categories including intellectual property protection,
endpoint visibility and control, productivity, encryption, security
portfolio vision and staffing and related resources.
According to Forrester, “Symantec provides a comprehensive DLP
suite with robust capabilities for intellectual property
protection, information management, incident management, and
encryption support. It also offers a rich set of capabilities to
help firms meet privacy requirements. Symantec has the most
staffing and resources dedicated to DLP compared with other vendors
evaluated in this Forrester Wave. Symantec continues to innovate in
this space and has strong brand recognition in the DLP market….
Large enterprises and firms requiring advanced capabilities for
intellectual property protection should consider Symantec.”
“Symantec has long been recognized as an innovator in Data Loss
Prevention (DLP), and it is my view that being named a ‘Leader’ in
the Forrester Wave report is further testament to our strength in
the market,” said Mike Fey, president and chief operating officer
at Symantec. “For many years, customers have relied on us to
protect data in their traditional environments. Today, we are
helping secure customers as they move to the cloud, enabling them
to control data no matter where it resides. We will continue to
provide the comprehensive protection our customers have come to
expect, as we extend our capabilities for the cloud
generation.”
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud applications and
services, it is critical that they protect data in the cloud, while
also continuing to protect on-premise data. Symantec’s DLP
capability is now extended to the cloud, with full
integration of the company’s cloud access security broker (CASB)
capabilities, providing a unique, integrated solution that gives
customers the confidence that their data is secure—whether it
resides on mobile devices, on-premise or in the cloud. Symantec was
also named a ‘Leader’ in The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Security
Gateways, Q4 2016.
