SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jun 05, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
McAfee
today announced that leading research firm Gartner, Inc. has positioned
the company in the leaders quadrant in its "Magic Quadrant for Security
Information and Event Management" as published on May 7, 2013*.
Gartner's research examined leading vendors who offer solutions in the
security information and event management (SIEM) marketplace.
According to the report, "The SIEM Leaders quadrant is composed of
vendors that provide products that are a good functional match to
general market requirements, have been the most successful in building
an installed base and revenue stream within the SIEM market, and have a
relatively high viability rating (due to SIEM revenue or SIEM revenue in
combination with revenue from other sources). In addition to providing
technology that is a good match to current customer requirements.
Leaders also show evidence of superior vision and execution for
anticipated requirements. They typically have relatively high market
share and/or strong revenue growth, and have demonstrated positive
customer feedback for effective SIEM capabilities and related service
and support."
The key criteria used to evaluate vendors were the customers' need to
analyze security event data in real-time for internal and external
threat management, and to collect, store, analyze, and report on log
data for regulatory compliance and forensics.
"Seconds mean the difference between a successful attack and a blocked
one," said Ken Levine, general manager of the security management
business unit at McAfee. "Organizations need actionable intelligence in
real-time so intelligent actions can be taken quickly. We believe
McAfee's position in the leaders quadrant demonstrates the ability of
our SIEM solution to offer the critical combination of intelligence and
speed while lowering operational costs. While we maintain our focus of
being the strongest stand-alone SIEM solution, we are also dedicated to
continually delivering added value through meaningful integrations with
other leading McAfee solutions."
