Infonetics Research Validates McAfee IntruShield's Momentum, Again Declaring It the Leader in the IPS Industry.
McAfee today announced it is again the worldwide in-line network intrusion prevention revenue market share leader for the third consecutive quarter. According to data from a recently published Infonetics Research report, titled "Intrusion Detection and Prevention Products Quarterly Worldwide Market Share & Forecasts," McAfee IntruShield leads the market with 32 percent market share in the second quarter of 2004.
"McAfee's focus on helping customers proactively prevent malicious threats from penetrating the corporate network, while maximizing performance, has been a key factor in the company's continued success," said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "As a leader in this category for the third consecutive quarter, it is evident that McAfee delivers comprehensive network and host based IPS solutions."
This report represents the latest in an ongoing series of third-party endorsements and competitive tests won by the McAfee IntruShield product family. Since its introduction in 2002, McAfee IntruShield has been positioned as the leader in the intrusion prevention market by well-respected analyst firms Gartner and Frost & Sullivan for its next-generation technology and ability to offer customers unmatched proactive protection against malicious security threats and vulnerabilities. IntruShield has also been a consistent recipient of third-party product awards from publications such as Network Computing, Network Magazine, SC Magazine and Network World, as well as testing organizations including Neohapsis, NSS, and Miercom.
"Through its pioneering technology, clear vision, superior execution and increasing rate of customer adoption, McAfee IntruShield has proven itself as the IPS market leader," said Vimal Solanki, director of product marketing for IPS solutions at McAfee, Inc. "Infonetics is just one of many well-respected, third-party organizations that has validated the McAfee strategy and identified IntruShield as a leader in the intrusion prevention market."
McAfee provides customers with the most comprehensive IPS solution in the industry, which includes a complete line of both host and network intrusion prevention products. Delivering on its leadership and innovative commitment, McAfee also recently made available the industry's first ever anti-virus solution with intrusion prevention capabilities - McAfee VirusScan 8.0i. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i incorporates best-of-breed McAfee anti-virus, host intrusion prevention and system firewall technology for advanced end- point protection.
As security threats continue to become increasingly difficult to detect, and the sophistication of the deployment of malicious code escalates, customers require leading-edge technology to address these issues. Through its best-of-breed network and host intrusion prevention solutions, McAfee Entercept and McAfee IntruShield provide customers the most comprehensive solutions to proactively protect their desktops, servers, wireless devices and enterprise-wide network infrastructure.
