Evaluation based on Completeness of Vision and
Ability to Execute
Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC), the world’s leading cyber
security company, today announced it has been positioned by
Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders” quadrant of the “Endpoint Protection
Platforms Magic Quadrant Report.”2
Symantec has appeared in the Leaders quadrant in every Magic
Quadrant published since 2002. In the report, Gartner wrote that
“the endpoint protection platform provides security capabilities to
protect workstations, smartphones and tablets.” The report
evaluated 22 different vendors on 15 criteria and placed Symantec
in the Leaders quadrant.
“Customers benefit directly from a solution with more integrated
features. Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) leverages a
breadth of proprietary technologies, and with the release of SEP 14
late last year, we delivered on the next evolution of endpoint
protection,” said Mike Fey, president and chief operating officer
at Symantec. “It is an honor to be recognized in the ‘Leaders’
Quadrant once again. We believe this recognition from Gartner
demonstrates our commitment to innovation, and the benefits our
integrated, multi-layered defense approach brings to customers as
they work to combat advanced threats.”
The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a graphical portrayal of vendor
performance in a market segment, including categories for leaders,
challengers, visionaries and niche players. Criteria by which the
vendors are measured include a company's completeness of vision and
ability to execute.
