Vontu's products can prevent sensitive data from being copied to local or removable storage or sent via email or other Internet channels. Other tools help identify the location of confidential information and close off any exposed files.
"As part of our Security 2.0 vision, we have long been pushing a view that security should be driven by policy, focused on information and supported by a managed infrastructure," said Tom Kendra, group president of Symantec's security and data management group.
"Vontu's offerings provide insight into the information itself, the context in which it's being used and the controls needed to prevent its loss."

Symantec officials expect to close the deal by the end of the year. No terms were disclosed.
