Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute


CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitglass, the Total Data Protection company, has been named the only Visionary in Gartner’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs).

Bitglass’ Next-Gen agentless architecture uniquely combines rapid deployment with real-time data and threat protection for any application on any device.

“Enterprises choose Bitglass for its unique Next-Gen agentless architecture that combines ease of deployment with real-time data and threat protection for any app on any device,” said Rich Campagna, CEO, Bitglass. “Our product vision coupled with a rapidly expanding global team and partner network fuel the company’s momentum.”

According to Gartner, “by 2020, 60 percent of large enterprises will use a CASB to govern cloud services, up from less than 10 percent today.”* Bitglass believes its recognition validates its innovative data protection functionality, rapid deployability, straightforward policy management, and integrated mobile data protection.
