    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

replacing PCs at an unprecedented rate, partly fuelled by lower running costs and

          PowerPoint 
        - Engages Mac users in process of preventing data loss
