Vontu Leads the Content Compliance Market in Deployments

SAN FRANCISCO — February 8, 2007 — Vontu, Inc., the leader in Data Loss Prevention solutions, and TheInfoPro (TIP) today announced the results of a study showing that Vontu continues to have the largest number of deployments and planned deployments in the Outbound and Inbound Content Compliance (OICC) market. Based on interviews with 200 information security professionals at Fortune 1000 and midsize enterprises, the TheInfoPro's Wave 8 Information Security Study shows that Vontu leads the OICC category with more than double the deployments of its nearest competitor. In addition, Vontu is rated second behind Cisco as one of the most "exciting" information security products in use today.

TIP Information Security Study Wave 8 also found the following:

  • Vontu is the second most "considered" security infrastructure company cited in the study, behind EMC.
  • OICC was rated the second highest category on TheInfoPro's proprietary Information Security Infrastructure Technology Heat Index™ — a measurement of end users' reported spending and implementation plans.
  • OICC is at the top of the list of near-term deployments of security infrastructure technology, and it is one of the top 10 currently in pilot, as well as in long-term plans.

"In TIP's Information Security Wave 8 Study, Vontu continues to lead the Outbound and Inbound Content Compliance market based on the in-depth interviews TIP conducts with hundreds of information security professionals in the TIPNetwork," said Bill Trussell, TheInfoPro's managing director for Information Security. "The OICC category rates high on our Heat Index, which shows there is a lot of opportunity for the market's growth."

"In the past six months, the TIP study shows that Data Loss Prevention has moved to the top of the list of near-term deployment priorities, and that security professionals report Vontu deployments now hold a significant lead over other vendors," said Steve Roop, vice president of marketing and products at Vontu. "With the recent announcement of Vontu 7, which expands our data-at-rest and data-in-motion product line to also protect data on the endpoint, we expect our market leadership to continue to accelerate."
