Reconnex Placed in Visionaries Quadrant in “Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention”;
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
Mountain View, Calif., April 23, 2007 - Reconnex, the leader in data leak prevention appliances, today announced that Gartner, Inc., has positioned Reconnex in the Visionaries quadrant in the “Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention, 2Q07,” report. The report was published on April 13, 2007, by Gartner analysts Paul E. Proctor, Rich Mogull, and Eric Ouellet. Gartner evaluates companies based on their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision for CMF/DLP.
In the Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention, Gartner weighs companies on their ability to execute, weighing heavily towards product capabilities such as performance, manageability and workflow, and core technology. In addition, companies are evaluated on completeness of vision, focusing on strategy for the future and ability to execute on that strategy.
About the marketplace, the report said, “The CMF/DLP market (which Gartner has identified in previous Magic Quadrants as the CMF market) includes vendors of technologies for defining sensitive information, finding and identifying it on enterprise networks and in storage, and controlling its use and distribution. These technologies are emerging as important information security controls.” The report further states, “A stand-alone or “pure-play” CMF/DLP tool, anchored by strong, content-aware networking monitoring capabilities, remains the best solution to the problem of identifying and controlling sensitive enterprise data, because it can monitor multiple channels for specific inbound and outbound content. Gartner predicts the market value will reach $120 million to $150 million in 2007.”
“We think being positioned in the Visionaries quadrant by Gartner confirms that we’ve developed the right product line and have the right strategy,” said John Peters, CEO of Reconnex. “Reconnex’s solutions enable enterprises to discover, monitor, and capture sensitive data and IP wherever it resides in the enterprise and at all enterprise endpoints. Plus, our sophisticated management and forensic capabilities let users analyze all data traversing the network, not just data running over certain ports or that violates certain policies. This historical data helps with remediation and allows us to fine tune policies over time.”
Reconnex has strengthened its market position due to its ability to monitor and capture data before, during, and after it traverses the network. The company recently announced the Reconnex 6.0 Endpoint Agent, which extends full discovery, monitoring, capture, and prevention capabilities to all enterprise endpoints, including mobile devices and removable media. With 6.0, enterprises can provide comprehensive endpoint Intellectual Property (IP) protection to all points of the network.
