Gartner Positions Digital Guardian in the “Leaders” Quadrant of the 2016 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Data Loss Prevention

Waltham, Mass. - January 28, 2016 – Digital Guardian, a next generation data protection platform purpose built to stop data theft, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the “Leaders” Quadrant of the January 2016 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP). This is the fourth consecutive time Digital Guardian has been named to the Leaders Quadrant for Data Loss Prevention.

Since its introduction 12 years ago, Digital Guardian has been a leader in preventing data loss, either accidental or from malicious insiders. In February 2015 the Digital Guardian 7.0 Data Protection Platform (DG Platform) became the first solution to combine traditional DLP functionality with advanced threat detection capabilities using the same endpoint agent and the same management console. Combining Data Loss Prevention, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and secure application whitelisting, the DG Platform offers unique data visibility, management and control. It is the first solution in the market that protects intellectual property and customers’ critical data from threats originating both inside and outside the organization. Through its acquisition of Code Green Networks (CGN) in October 2015, Digital Guardian has significantly increased its capabilities by adding network DLP, cloud protection and data discovery.

“We are quite pleased to be named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Data Loss Prevention for the fourth straight time,” said Connie Stack, chief marketing officer, Digital Guardian. “Through intensive product development and innovation, combined with strategic acquisitions, we’ve been able to meet corporate data protection demands in today’s dynamic and complex IT environments without slowing the pace of our customers’ business.”
