Gartner Positions Positive Technologies in "Visionaries" Web Application Firewall Magic Quadrant (MQ)

NEW DELHI, July 22, 2015 /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."

"India has been ahead of the game for some time in the purchasing of application security solutions," explains Rajan Malik, Country Manager for India, "However, the focus and decision making until recently has been around the negotiation skills of professional purchasing teams rather than being led by security experts which can cause a mismatch between organizational security requirements and product functionality.  This situation is changing rapidly with security professionals demanding solutions that are both robust and on the cutting edge of technology to protect their organizations from the rapidly changing threatscape.  PT Application Firewall™ and PT Application Inspector™ combined offer not just incredible security to our customers but their technical pedigree puts them into a new cutting edge category of application security."
