Vontu Endpoint Prevent in action

A financial services company uses Vontu Endpoint Prevent to prevent confidential customer information, such as social security and credit card numbers, from being copied to USB storage devices or CD/DVDs. Their initial deployment was very simple and quick: within 48 hours the customer had self-deployed the agents across the entire enterprise covering thousands of endpoints, and all the agents were managed via a single Vontu server.
