by Thomas Raschke

with Jonathan Penn, Antonin Shanahan, Alissa Dill

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Forrester evaluated leading data leak prevention (DLP) vendors across approximately 74 criteria and found that Websense and Reconnex came out on top because of their strong go-to-market strategy and automated learning capabilities, respectively. Verdasys is a Leader due to balanced functionality and rich context-based analysis at the desktop. RSA Security stands out for its integrated vision and leading discovery capabilities, while Vericept rounds out the Leader class of 2008 because of its very balanced DLP coverage and strong analysis features. The Strong Performer group is led by Workshare and Orchestria, both providing tight application integration at the desktop and a user-friendly approach to DLP. Code Green Networks is easy to use, cost-effective, and an ideal fit for small and medium-size businesses (SMBs). McAfee now offers strong integration with encryption and its popular ePolicy Orchestrator; Trend Micro has a strong international play featuring leading data-in-use protection. Russia-based InfoWatch is a Contender and offers a straightforward DLP solution for many organizations in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Ultimately, DLP will be a must-have that is integrated with security infrastructure; longer term, it will extend into information management.
