Intellectual Property Protection

Would you know if:

  • Source code was stored on a laptop that was lost or stolen?
  • An engineer was encrypting or copying product design documents to a USB drive?
  • Business partners or resellers had unauthorized access to confidential pricing information?
  • A file containing merger and acquisition plans was stored on an unsecured file share?
  • A departing employee was sending a Webmail message containing confidential information in the message body?

"Only 20 percent of respondents said that they feel confident that their companies' intellectual property is being sufficiently safeguarded."

Vontu, now a part of Symantec, secures the critical intellectual property (IP) of leading companies in the high technology, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, energy and utilities, and media and entertainment industries. Our solutions protect these companies from malicious employee behavior, pirating, or accidental leaks that can expose future product plans, proprietary formulas and specifications, scripts, financial models, process documentation, and source code.

Vontu Data Loss Prevention (DLP) enables organizations to discover and protect exposed confidential data on file servers, databases, Microsoft SharePoint®, Lotus Notes®, Documentum®, LiveLink®, web servers, Microsoft Exchange®, and other data repositories, and provides the ability to monitor and prevent data loss on the network including email, IM, Web, Secure Web (HTTP over SSL), FTP, P2P, and generic TCP. Vontu solutions also enable organizations to discover confidential data stored on the endpoint such as desktops and laptops, and prevent this data from being inappropriately used, sent out, or copied to storage devices such as USB drives, CD/DVDs, or iPods. Vontu DLP enables you to quickly create policies and reports that precisely match your unique business requirements and internal processes. Only Vontu DLP provides an integrated Data Loss Prevention suite that combines endpoint and network-based software to prevent the loss of confidential data wherever it is stored or used. Workflow and automation can also be configured to match any remediation process- whether centralized or distributed, while enabling the security team to consistently focus on the issues that present the highest potential threat.
