About
Vontu was a pioneering data loss prevention (DLP) software company founded in 2001 in San Francisco by Michael Wolfe and Joseph Ansanelli. The company developed policy-based DLP solutions that protected sensitive data across endpoints, networks, and storage — covering data at rest, in motion, and in use. Vontu served enterprise customers across federal agencies, financial services, healthcare, high-tech, insurance, manufacturing, media, pharmaceutical, retail, and telecommunications sectors. The company raised $35M across four funding rounds from investors including Benchmark, Venrock, and USVP. Vontu was acquired by Symantec in November 2007 for $350 million, where its technology became the foundation of Symantec's DLP product line.
