Gartner analysts evaluated CA DLP for this report.

  According to the report, "Gartner defines content-aware DLP technologies as those that -- as a core function -- perform content inspection of data at rest or in motion, and can execute responses -- ranging from simple notification to active blocking -- based on policy settings. To be considered, products must support sophisticated detection techniques that extend beyond simple keyword matching and regular expressions."

  "We consider our positioning in the 'Leaders' quadrant by Gartner confirmation of our strategy and mission to bring content and context into the realm of data protection and identity and access management," said Mike Denning, general manager, Security business at CA Technologies.
