By Contributor Wireless and Mobile News on September 29, 2008 12:49 PM

Utimaco announced that Gartner has positioned the company in the Leaders Quadrant of the Mobile Data Protection 2008 Magic Quadrant.

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 they encounter little resistance in selling their products."

Utimaco brings tremendous value to enterprise customers through key management systems that ensure its flagship product, SafeGuard Enterprise, is highly interoperable with other systems and easy to use. Utimaco also boasts partnerships with top vendors including Microsoft, Seagate, Intel and Lenovo to make it easy for enterprise customers to ensure end point systems are highly secure while reducing the total cost of ownership associated with supporting multiple end point agents.

Holding FIPS (140-2 Levels 1-4) and CC Certifications (EAL4) means that Utimaco has the critical security certifications necessary for organizations that need a vendor who can prove their solutions are of the highest caliber. Utimaco also supports multiple platforms including Linux, Palm OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Windows XP and Vista.
