McAfee has announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., a premier research and advisory firm, in the Leaders Quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Mobile Data Protection” report published on September 7, 2011, written by: John Girard and Eric Ouellet.  

This report evaluates 14 vendors who offer Mobile Data Protection products to secure data on movable storage systems in notebooks, smartphones, tablets, and removable media. 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. In 2011, the companies that execute strongly enough to differentiate themselves as Leaders are EPP vendors that all made MDP acquisitions.”
