“Mobile Data Protection for notebooks and smaller handheld devices (PDAs and smartphones) is a growing market with two primary purposes: first and foremost, to protect data by encryption; and second, to provide evidence that the protection is working,” notes the report. “Interest in data protection is fueled by liability and privacy concerns. Across the U.S., legislation is increasing to require public disclosure in the event of the real or suspected mishandling of personally identifiable information….Even if information is not misused, negative public reaction is expensive and embarrassing, and it damages buyer and investor confidence.”

Organizations in sectors ranging from financial services and healthcare to aerospace/defense and government select GuardianEdge because of the company’s focus on delivering solutions based on accepted industry standards for enterprise software deployment and management. This provides strong endpoint data protection capabilities with no learning curve or intensive investment in new IT infrastructure. As evidenced by the company’s more than 1,000 percent sales growth over the last three years, and recent inclusion in the prominent Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing private companies, customers have acknowledged that the standards-based GuardianEdge approach is both technically and financially beneficial.

“In my opinion, being named as a leader in the Gartner Mobile Data Protection Magic Quadrant serves as further validation of the strength of our company as an independent provider of endpoint data protection solutions,” said Ralph Clark, President and CEO of GuardianEdge. “Our simplified approach to securing enterprise endpoints has led thousands of corporations and government agencies to rely on GuardianEdge to ensure that critical company and customer information is secure.”
