In a recently released publication, Gartner ranked Microsoft #1 in their ability to execute in their Magic Quadrant for E-Mail Security Boundary, 2006*.
“Given its installed base of Exchange e-mail infrastructure users and the acquisitions of Sybari (soon to be called Forefront for Exchange) and Frontbridge (now called Exchange Hosted Services) — in addition to original investments in native anti-spam filtering — Microsoft is poised to become the de facto leader in the e-mail security market. Although its current market share is middling, it will be difficult to compete with the addition of anti-spam and antivirus services as part of both standard and enterprise licenses for Exchange 2007.”
