McAfee, Inc. has acquired Onigma Ltd, a privately-held provider of data protection solutions that monitor, report and prevent confidential data from leaving the enterprise.

Headquartered in Israel, with a subsidiary in New-York, Onigma Ltd is driven by a group of security experts and professionals, many of whom are veterans of the Electronics R&D Department of the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Through the acquisition of Onigmas content-based data loss prevention (DLP) product, McAfee is announcing its host-based data loss prevention solution called McAfee Data Loss Prevention. It will help protect enterprises from the risk associated with unauthorised transfer of data from within or outside of the organisation.

McAfee Data Loss Prevention capabilities include:

• universal protection that prevents confidential data loss through the broadest set of communication channels
  
• content-aware data protection protects against the transmission of sensitive data even if it is copied/pasted, screen captured from the original source and/or zipped or encrypted
  
• Protection on the Go prevents the transmission of sensitive data from endpoints and laptops, no matter where the user goes and regardless of network connection status.
