Boldon James Gives Mac the Full Data Classification Treatment
LONDON, October 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Latest release extends classification across the Microsoft Office for Mac suite of
applications and confirms Boldon James Classifier as the most comprehensive data
classification solution available in the market Â
QinetiQ's data security company Boldon James [http://www.boldonjames.com ], the
leading specialist provider of data classification and secure messaging solutions, today
announced the launch of Mac Classifier - providing user-centric data classification
functionality to organisations using Microsoft Office for Mac. Mac Classifier specifically
extends the user experience of Outlook to incorporate classification and uniquely enhances
Word, Excel and PowerPoint to engage users in document classification. This latest release
positions Classifier as the most comprehensive data classification solution in the market
today, with coverage now provided for Windows and Mac operating systems plus specialist
applications including IBM Notes and CAD applications such as AutoDesk and DraftSight. Mac
Classifier complements the existing extensive Classifier product suite including;
- Office Classifier, uniquely delivering a classification user experience within
Microsoft Visio and Project in addition to Word, Excel and PowerPoint;
- Mobile Classifier, the only product that extends data classification capability to
Android, iOS and Windows Phone;
- Exchange Classifier that is exclusive in applying classification policy to messages
in-transit;

and works seamlessly with Discovery agents and data retention solutions.

The Mac Classifier product meets the enterprise market need to extend classification
coverage to Mac desktop and laptop devices, which are more frequently used by senior
executives where sensitive data protection is paramount, in addition to the traditional
dominance of Mac in the creative and media industries. According to analyst firm IDC, Mac
market share has grown to a record 8% compared to other operating systems, with Mac usage
replacing PCs at an unprecedented rate, partly fuelled by lower running costs and
increased security.
In summary, Mac Classifier delivers the following:
- Covers all key Office for Mac applications, including Outlook, Word, Excel and
PowerPointÂ
- Engages Mac users in process of preventing data loss Â
- Shares a common classification user-experience with all other Classifier productsÂ
- Employs unified administration alongside other Classifier products Â
- Applies metadata classification labels to drive other security and data management
solutionsÂ
Commenting on the launch, Martin Sugden, CEO at Boldon James, said "The launch of Mac
Classifier extends our data classification capabilities to cover the widest range of
productivity applications and operating systems of any vendor. Mac Classifier demonstrates
the ease with which Boldon James can bring classification to new applications, utilising
the underlying strength of the Classifier Platform, which provides a common user
experience, unified administration and full extensibility." Sugden continues "Supported by
our class-leading technology platform and coupled with best-of-breed technology
partnerships in areas such as DLP, Discovery and Encryption, Boldon James continues to be
the partner of choice in delivering innovative, specialist data classification solutions
to provide our customers with competitive advantage. We pride ourselves on the ability to
develop products that meet the evolving needs of our customers and Mac Classifier is the
next step in our classification journey."
