"Vontu Data Loss Prevention solution helps us identify and actively address potential exposures that would otherwise be difficult to measure."

Vontu Network Protect in action

A major media and entertainment company needed a systematic approach to locate exposed cardholder data to prepare for an upcoming PCI audit. The company used Vontu Network Discover to scan four million files for credit card data. As a result, they found thousands of incidents with magnetic stripe data where the front end credit card processing application inadvertently wrote out full track data. Vontu Network Protect automatically relocated the exposed cardholder data to an encrypted server - leaving markers for users to locate the quarantined files. Using this approach, the company avoided the costs of hiring an external company to help them achieve compliance since they were able to do it themselves. The company was also educated on the risks of credit card processing applications that could potentially expose cardholder data.

"64% of companies surveyed reported never having conducted an inventory of sensitive consumer information. 64% also reported never having inventoried employee data."
