Check Point is committed to providing mobile data protection solutions that prevent both accidental data loss and cyber criminals from accessing stolen data,” said Dorit Dor, vice president of products at Check Point Software Technologies. “We believe Check Point-s continued placement in the Leaders Quadrant reinforces the company-s dedication to keeping customers safe through our extensive suite of mobile data protection solutions.”
According to Gartner, vendors named 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.”
