New Channel to Address Both Enterprise and Small-to-Medium Business in
North America and Beyond
WASHINGTON, GARTNER IT SECURITY SUMMIT, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Vontu,
Inc., the leader in Data Loss Prevention solutions, today announced the
introduction of its value-added reseller (VAR) program to expand adoption
of its data loss prevention solutions to a wide range of companies and new
markets throughout North America and abroad. With this new channel launch,
Vontu is expanding its partner network to qualified VARs that will reach
both large enterprise and small to medium-sized organizations seeking to
reduce risk by proactively preventing the loss of sensitive data. VAR
partners will also help Vontu establish a presence in new regional markets,
beginning with the United Kingdom, as well as further penetrate specific
vertical markets.
"Vontu has established itself as a market leader for the Fortune 500
through direct sales and service," said Steve Roop, vice president of
marketing at Vontu. "This program represents the next level of growth for
our business. By working closely with industry-leading VARs experienced in
delivering security solutions, we are expanding our business model to serve
a broader market including small and medium-sized business."
The Vontu VAR program allows the company to scale the distribution of
its products to meet the needs of one of the security industry's fastest
growing markets. Highly publicized data breaches, consumer data protection
legislation and an increasing awareness of the insider threat to
confidential data are driving rapid adoption of data loss prevention
solutions. According to IDC, the market for detection and prevention of
outbound content that violates corporate policies and government
regulations will swell to $1.9 billion by 2009. The introduction of the
Vontu VAR program is designed to help VARs address this growing market with
new services and support for the company's latest solution suite, Vontu
6.0.
The Vontu 6.0 suite enables business and government organizations to
safeguard customer data, company information, intellectual property and
sensitive or classified information, whether it is located on servers and
desktops or exiting the network via email, web mail or other Internet
protocols.
Under the new program, large organizations that have long-standing
relationships with Vontu VARs will be able to acquire Vontu solutions
through a trusted partner. In addition, small and medium-sized
organizations can now get access to data loss prevention solutions from the
market leader.
Charter members of the Vontu VAR program include BEW Global, Nebulas
Security and Group Captiva. Other VARs serving select industries and
regional market segments will soon follow. All Vontu VARs receive access to
training and certification programs, as well as sales, marketing and
technical support services. For more information on the Vontu VAR program,
