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.
