OutProtect Named "Cool Vendor" By Leading Analyst Firm
Vendors selected for the "Cool Vendor" report are innovative, impactful and intriguing.
St. Louis, MO. (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- OutProtect, the first company to offer comprehensive security for on-demand application data, today announced it has been selected as one the "Cool Vendors" in the latest Gartner report "Cool Vendors in Security Services, 2008" (Ray Wagner, Avivah Litan, Jay Heiser - April 2008). As companies search for cutting-edge solutions to address the increasing threat from unprotected data on corporate endpoints, Gartner, Inc. has highlighted OutProtect..
According to Gartner "(e)nterprise decision makers with a stake in security, privacy and risk issues should be prepared to consider innovative new security-related service offerings." In addition, "Enterprises are increasingly interested in service-based security offerings -- including software as a service (SaaS) -- as a way of reducing costs and increasing agility." OutProtect believes it meets those needs with a SaaS security solution that provides endpoint data leakage protection solutions for on-demand applications. OutProtect secures on-demand data from loss and theft by authorized users, both while the data is accessed and after it's downloaded.
"We're proud and excited to be named one of Gartner's Cool Vendors of 2008. We think our selection confirms the viability of OutProtect's mission to make data from on-demand (SaaS) applications as safe as its on-premise counterparts," said Chris Elbring, founder and CEO of OutProtect. OutProtect prevents employee theft of downloaded on-demand application data, beginning with the Downloaded Data Guard product for users of salesforce.com. This comprehensive solution blocks the removal of files without the company's knowledge or authorization by controlling, monitoring and managing the use of files download on user's PCs or laptops. In addition, downloaded data is easily deleted should an employee leave the company or if a PC/laptop is lost or stolen. With integrated alerts, logs and reports, OutProtect gives companies functionality they need to support their regulatory compliance efforts and their internal control requirements. Because the solution is offered as an on-demand service, OutProtect installs instantly with no infrastructure requirements and requires minimal on-going administration.
