Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss Prevention
Designation Based on RSA(R) Data Loss Prevention Suite's "Completeness of
Vision" and "Ability to Execute"

BEDFORD, Mass., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA, The Security Division of EMC
(NYSE: EMC), today announced that it is positioned in the Leaders quadrant
within Gartner's 2008 Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and
Data Loss Prevention. This designation was based on the RSA(R) Data Loss
Prevention (DLP) Suite's completeness of vision and ability to execute, and
appears in the June 2008 report by Eric Ouellet and Paul Proctor entitled
"Magic Quadrant for Content Monitoring and Filtering and Data Loss
Prevention."
Gartner defines Data Loss Prevention tools as those "used to prevent
inadvertent or accidental loss or exposure of sensitive enterprise information
using content inspection technologies." The report also states, "We have long
believed that integrated network, endpoint and discovery capabilities -- with
a centralized management console capable of distributing a consistent set of
policies and providing usable back-end workflow for alerting on and
remediating violations -- [is] the ultimate goal and destination of this
market."
"We believe that our position in the leaders' quadrant of the Data Loss
Prevention Magic Quadrant reflects the completeness of our vision and
validates that we are positioned to provide solutions that address the overall
process of helping to secure data in a holistic manner," said Dennis Hoffman,
Vice President and General Manager, Data Security Group, and Chief Strategy
Officer at RSA, The Security Division of EMC. "We continue to be vigilant in
enhancing our DLP offerings, bringing significant enhancements to market with
our 6.0 release which was announced last month, starting integration on all
our data security products, and collaborating with industry leaders like Cisco
so that customers can discover, monitor, and enforce the use of sensitive data
directly into the infrastructure -- no matter where it moves, how it moves or
where it is."
The RSA DLP Suite is engineered to provide unified, seamless data policy
orchestration across the enterprise, allowing customers to discover and
monitor sensitive data and apply the appropriate enforcement mechanisms to
secure sensitive data across the IT stack. The DLP Suite includes RSA DLP
Endpoint, RSA DLP Network, and RSA DLP Datacenter, with overall management of
the Suite provided by the RSA DLP Enterprise Manager.
Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant positions "vendors in a particular market
segment based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.
According to the report, "Leaders" in the DLP market have demonstrated a good
understanding of client needs and offer comprehensive capabilities in network,
discovery and endpoint."
