TriGeo Listed in Visionary Quadrant in Analyst Firm IT Security Management Magic Quadrant
TriGeo Evaluated for Vision and Ability to Execute that Vision
POST FALLS, IDAHO - (July 26, 2004) - TriGeo Network Security (www.trigeo.com), the pioneer and leader of Active Security Event Management™ solutions for securing small and medium-sized enterprise networks, today announced that it was positioned in the Visionaries quadrant in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for IT Security Management for the first half of 2004*. TriGeo focuses on midsize enterprises, provides an IT security management appliance at the lowest price point in the market, and is unique in providing automated attack remediation.
TriGeo was evaluated for its completeness of vision, which Gartner bases on how well a vendor's offering matches current and emerging market requirements, examining key criteria including technology differentiation, features, functionality, innovation, strategy, customer service, as well as market understanding and knowledge.
"We consider TriGeo's inclusion in the Gartner Magic Quadrant as a confirmation of the value that we deliver to an under-served market," said Michelle Dickman, president of TriGeo Network Security. "IT managers are drowning in log data, facing increasing management and/or regulatory pressures, and trying to survive with limited staff and a dwindling budget. Contego, TriGeo's SEM solution, aggregates, normalizes, and correlates real-time event data from dozens of systems, freeing valuable IT resources to move from identifying, and on to solving, problems."
Gartner also featured TriGeo in its March 26 IT Security Management Point Solution Vendors report for the first half of 2004**.
The reports, published by Gartner, Inc., a premier research and advisory firm, evaluate vendors in the IT security management market based on key criteria including driving the market in terms of technical innovation and rapidly growing production installed bases. In rating vendors, Gartner emphasized the demonstrated ability to win competitive evaluations by large organizations.
According to Gartner Visionaries have a clear vision of market direction and are focused on preparing for that, but they can still improve in terms of optimizing service delivery.
