Accudata Systems Inks VAR Agreement with Data Loss Prevention Leader Vontu, Inc.
HOUSTON, TX, JULY 12, 2007 -- Accudata Systems announced today that it has signed a value-added reseller agreement with Vontu, Inc. of San Francisco to consult, sell, and deploy the Vontu product line. Vontu is the leading provider of Data Loss Prevention solutions that protect data anywhere - at rest, in motion or at the endpoint. This agreement strengthens Accudata Systems' ability to provide comprehensive data protection to its clients and help them meet various regulatory compliance requirements such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry (PCI), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and more than 35 state privacy laws.
Vontu offers proven solutions for top-priority data security initiatives that combine process, people, and technology to protect companies' confidential data. Vontu's expertise comes from partnering with industry leaders across verticals to build solutions for compliance, intellectual property protection, and risk management. Vontu is the data security choice of market leaders such as American National Insurance, CIGNA, Equifax, E-LOAN, Experian, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Physician's Mutual, Pitney Bowes, Prudential, Sharp Healthcare, United States Enrichment Company (USEC), and University of California San Diego Medical Center.
The Vontu product suite is composed of three product lines. The Data at Rest products discover and protect data exposed on centralized and decentralized file servers, SQL and Lotus Notes databases, desktops and laptops. The Data in Motion products monitor and prevent data loss on the network including e-mail, instant messaging, web, secure web (HTTP over SSL), FTP, P2P, and generic TCP. The Data at the Endpoint products provide insight and control over data downloaded to desktops or copied to USB drives and other removable storage devices.
"Vontu can accurately detect the leakage of confidential data, whether structured or unstructured. Combined with its industry leading remediation workflow, this allows you to quickly and efficiently protect critical data throughout your infrastructure," said Brian DiPaolo, Assessment & Compliance Practice Manager for Accudata Systems. "Up until now, security solutions such as firewalls and intrusion prevention have focused on protecting the network at a system or device level - the Vontu solution focuses on protecting the actual confidential data residing on these systems by inspecting and flagging it before it has a chance to leave the company. Vontu's automatic policy enforcement and incident response workflow enables organizations to block, encrypt or quarantine policy violations then alert the appropriate resources to investigate the event."
"We look forward to presenting Vontu's data loss prevention solutions to our customers precisely because they are so comprehensive," said Patrick Vardeman, Vice President of Business Development for Accudata Systems. Vontu's three product lines focus on identifying where the confidential data is exposed, where and how it is being moved, and how to automate data loss enforcement. Companies and institutions of all types and sizes that are worried about protecting confidential data owe it to themselves to investigate the Vontu solution."
