Check Point now in Leaders Quadrant for 2007 for mobile data protection

Check Point Software Technologies has announced that it has been positioned by Gartner in the leaders quadrant in the "Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection, 2007" report.

According to Gartner, "Leaders have products that work well for Gartner clients. They have long-term road maps that match Gartner's vision of the developing needs of buyers in the market. They make their competitors' sales staff nervous and force competitors' technical staff to follow their lead. Their mobile data protection products are well-known to clients, andthey encounter little resistance in selling their products."

"We are honored to be positioned in the leaders quadrant by Gartner and consider it to be further validation of our success and commitment to securing sensitive information," said David Ip, Regional Sales Director, North Asia. "With data loss incidents on the rise and regulations tightening, Check Point offers businesses, through our Pointsec products, complete, industry-proven solutions that deploy quickly and easily toprotect all sensitive data."

Laptops and other mobile storage devices such as USB sticks are shrinking in size while expanding in storage capacity, making them increasingly popular for employees on the go. Yet they are also easily lost. As businesses realize that safeguarding sensitive mobile data is critical to keeping proprietary information out of the wrong hands, the market demand for a comprehensive data protection solution is rising dramatically.
