As email and web applications dominate enterprise infrastructure, more companies are wondering how to ensure appropriate use and reduce the risk of malicious content. Two new reports issued by Forrester Research, Inc., discuss the market trends, client demands, and the strong offering and market strategy that distinguish McAfee products for web and email filtering. The McAfee acquisition of Secure Computing coincided with these evaluations.
The twin reports examined the performance of the McAfee products (acquired through Secure
Computing) against ten other vendors and extensive criteria that reflected customer interviews and end-user inquiries. These detailed evaluations concluded that McAfee is a market leader in both web and email filtering, ranking ahead of the field in critical areas such as filtering functionality, reputation research, customer satisfaction, and go-to-market partnerships.

Beyond examining the products as they exist today, the reports bring valuable market perspective on the features and characteristics that will matter going forward, as Web 2.0, compliance, cost-cutting, and mobile workforces require IT organizations to
optimize their security infrastructure. These are critical considerations as IT struggles to reduce costs while addressing the demands of the business.
