Vontu Joins Cyber Security Industry Alliance as Newest Principal Member12 October 2005
Cyber Security Industry Alliance
(CSIA), the only public policy and advocacy group dedicated exclusively to
cyber security, today announced that Vontu, Inc., the leader in data loss
prevention solutions, has joined the Alliance as a Principal member. Vontu
will have a strategic level of participation in CSIA, uniting with other
industry leaders to enhance global cyber security through public policy,
education, awareness and technology. Vontu is already active in addressing
information security issues on a national level. Vontu CEO Joseph Ansanelli
has testified several times before Congress on privacy and security topics and
is currently working with Congressional representatives on bills that address
identity theft.
"Every breach of personal information is another reason for consumers to
lose trust in our information systems. CSIA believes the right approach to
securing sensitive personal data requires a blend of appropriate policies,
technical expertise and security technologies that address both internal and
external threats," said Paul Kurtz, executive director of CSIA. "Mr.
Ansanelli's data loss prevention expertise and prior work with Congress will
be extremely valuable as CSIA continues to work with business leaders and
lawmakers on the development of national policies to reduce identity theft,
protect consumer privacy, and ensure the safekeeping of personally
identifiable information."
"CSIA has a proven track record of having a real and positive impact on
key information security policy issues," said Joseph Ansanelli, CEO and
Chairman of Vontu. "We look forward to adding what we've learned working with
Fortune 500 companies on their data security to the CSIA's efforts. We are
honored that we were invited to join CSIA along with other leading information
security companies."
CSIA's members provide the industry insights, technical expertise, depth
and focus to help government leaders here and abroad better understand the
issues around cyber security policy. To date, CSIA has made a positive impact
on key IT security issues, including the role of information security in
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance; the definition and elimination of spyware; and the
creation of an Assistant Secretary position for Cyber Security and
Telecommunications at the Department of Homeland Security.
Other CSIA membership tiers include Charter membership and Affiliate
membership with different levels for Large Enterprise Partners and Emerging
Security Partners. If you are interested in joining the Cyber Security
