Areas of Specialization: Today, insiders represent the single biggest threat to data security. With confidential customer data and intellectual property just a keystroke from the Internet, every organization is at risk. This risk and the cost of brand damage and regulatory requirements have driven the demand for a new class of security software called Data Loss Prevention.
Vontu provides Data Loss Prevention software that helps companies in financial services, insurance, high technology, retail, telecommunications, manufacturing, media, healthcare, and government agencies reduce financial risk, protect customer loyalty and ensure compliance with industry and government regulations.
