Laptop Theft

Vontu Data Loss Prevention reduces the impact of laptop theft

Research shows that laptop theft accounts for 33% of data breach events and that every 43 seconds another laptop theft is reported. The greatest source of concern in these incidents is the unsecured customer data and intellectual property that is often stored on laptops. A single lost or stolen laptop may result in millions of dollars in customer notification costs, compliance fines, and loss of competitive advantage- as well as damage to brand and customer trust.

To truly reduce the risk the impact of data loss, organizations must proactively secure confidential data and be prepared to respond immediately in the case of a theft. Vontu solutions allow our customers to:

  • Reduce exposure of confidential information on laptops
  • Automatically enforce polices on laptops and desktops to secure confidential information
  • Quickly and accurately determine what data has been compromised whenever a theft or loss does occur so you can take steps to remove, encrypt, or relocate this data.
