Gartner Places Positive Technologies as the Most Visionary in Visionaries Quadrant

London And Boston (ots/PRNewswire) -

Positive Technologies, a leading provider of security solutions,
today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the
"Visionaries" quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Web
Application Firewalls. Positive Technologies is placed the furthest
to the right in the Visionaries quadrant based on its completeness of
vision.

"We are one of the smaller vendors in this Magic Quadrant but we
believe what has really helped us achieve our position here is that
we are very focused on innovation and growing rapidly," reveals
Elaine Mullan, International Marketing Manager, "We are a visionary
with unique leading-edge security features. We have a strong
capability to protect business applications including SAP."

"We consider Gartner's positioning of Positive Technologies in the
Visionaries quadrant as recognition of our ongoing commitment to keep
our research and development approach as unconventional as possible,"
explains Dan Tara, VP Business Development, "The threat landscape has
developed in complexity. The market recognizes traditional
firewalls, load balancers with application security features are no
longer sufficient. High security solutions focused on application
security itself are now essential to ensure organizations are
protected. PT Application Firewall(TM) offers our customers a radical
solution to manage the effects of this changing cyber security
landscape. For a truly revolutionary application security solution
our customers use our source code security testing solution PT
Application Inspector(TM) in tandem with PT Application Firewall(TM).

Every organization globally is exposed to cyber security risk with
application security central to reducing the risk being felt by
business which can include: reputational risk, downtime, data breach
and financial losses and fines. The pressure on business has moved
up the line from security departments to the CIO with the recognition
that cyber security is a board room issue and without a robust
security policy and solution the risk increases to a critical level
and potentially very damaging to the organization.
