Symantec has been included on Gartner‘s “Magic Quadrant for Cloud Access Security Brokers” that details the performance of vendors, leaders, challengers, visionaries and niche players in the CASB market.
The company said Monday it made the leaders quadrant for its CloudSOC platform designed to help organizations secure data and applications in a cloud environment.
Gartner evaluated Symantec and 10 other vendors based on criteria such as completeness of vision and capacity to execute strategies.
