LONDON, UK: Voltage Security has announced that Gartner Inc. has positioned the company as a Visionary in its recently published “2013 Magic Quadrant for Data Masking Technology.”1 Voltage Security was also positioned the furthest for ability to execute and completeness of vision in the Visionaries quadrant. Magic Quadrant placements are determined after rigorous evaluation along two primary axes: completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Voltage’s industry leading data masking technology is a key component in its Voltage SecureData™ Enterprise products which provide a comprehensive approach to enterprise data de-identification. Voltage SecureData Enterprise helps enterprises neutralize breach impact through the use of Voltage Format-Preserving Encryption™ and Voltage Secure Stateless Tokenization™ technologies.
“We believe this recognition from Gartner is a major validation of our industry-leading data de-identification technology and reflects the value our global enterprise customers, including some of the world’s largest financial service firms, payment processors and retailers, continue to find in our solutions,” said Mark Bower, vice president of product management, Voltage Security.
In the report Gartner recommends that enterprises “engage key enterprise stakeholders — especially in risk management, privacy, compliance and auditing roles — in the adoption and implementation of data masking processes.”2
“Gartner’s recommendation that enterprises make data masking technologies and best practices an integral part of the enterprise data management process is right on the money, and we feel supports our commitment to providing reliable, technically innovative, cost-effective, data-centric encryption and tokenization solutions,” continued Bower.
In related news, Voltage SecureData Enterprise was recently named the 2013 Readers’ Choice Bronze Award winner in the Best Encryption category by the editors of TechTarget's Information Security Magazine and SearchSecurity.com.
