McAfee announced its initial foray into the emerging <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2090220,00.asp?kc=EWEWEMNL020507EP31C">data loss prevention</A> software market at the RSA Conference, launching a set of tools to manage the flow of sensitive information across corporate networks and endpoint devices. Built through a combination of internal development and McAfee's October 2006 acquisition of Onigma, the package promises the ability for organizations to oversee and control data distribution via a wide range of desktop applications and storage technologies, including email and instant messaging systems, removable USB devices, CD-ROMs, and even printed documents.
