The
Forrester Wave is a guide for businesses that are considering their
purchase options in a technology marketplace. By evaluating vendors and
their products against a clear set of criteria, Forrester objectively
ranks technology solutions to demonstrate the performance of their
offering, strategy and market presence. Prospective customers can then
compare different vendors independently, across a variety of metrics.
According
to the Forrester report, ‘Kaspersky offers a versatile and
technologically competent CWS solution. The solution provides
comprehensive user management capabilities, has strong guest OS level
support and has an effective remediation policy set against hardening
standards'. The report also noted that the solution provides ‘one of the
strongest memory protection and file integrity monitoring capabilities
across vendors in this Wave'.
"We are delighted to be named as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave CWS evaluation," comments Sergey Martsynkyan, head of B2B product marketing, Kaspersky. "Receiving
this recognition validates that our efforts are going in the right
direction. Forrester Wave also recognized Kaspersky's plans to develop
API control for IaaS and PaaS with the highest possible score, which
aligns with our priority to continue product development to meet the
needs of our customers and partners. For instance, in the next product
update, we plan to expand protection functions for Linux, as well as
bring more management capabilities for data centers and managed service
providers."
