Proofpoint Positioned in “Leaders” Quadrant in Gartner’s 2013 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving for Second Consecutive Year
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – November 8, 2013 – Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: PFPT), a leading security-as-a-service provider, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the 2013 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving.1 The new report provides a detailed overview of the Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA) market and evaluates the vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.
“We are excited to be placed in the Leaders quadrant by Gartner for the second consecutive year,” said Gary Steele, CEO of Proofpoint. “We believe our leadership position is a result of Proofpoint Enterprise Archive™ delivering the benefits of the cloud, while providing the performance, security, and data privacy protection required for complex eDiscovery and regulatory compliance. Our success in executing on our information governance vision has also yielded high customer satisfaction recognition, of which we are very proud”.
