CHENNAI: McAfee Inc. today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in the September 2006 report, "Forrester Wave: Client Security Suites: Q3 '06," for its comprehensive functionality set and robust management capabilities.

According to the report, McAfee received top scores for its current offering, strategy, administration and management. On a scale of 0 to 5 (strong), McAfee earned a “5” for its host intrusion detection system.
