intelligent DATA SECURITY |
Although they know that they need to collaborate , organisations are rightfully worried that sensitive intellectual property and customer information that is shared with third parties may end up in the wrong hands . add a host of access rights and usage controls that stay with a document as it is shared with third parties . This ‘ data -centric ’ approach , where controls are applied to the files themselves and remain
|
active even while the file is being utilised , liberates data from any weaknesses in the underlying ICT infrastructure and data management policies .
With modern EDRM solutions , the range of usage controls that you can apply to a document is comprehensive . The owner of the data has the ability to manage and remotely modify who can view , edit , copy , screen capture , print and re-distribute files . Users can specify from which devices or locations a document can be viewed and even for how long .
EDRM solutions can also be integrated seamlessly into existing enterprise solutions , including identity and access management , content management , data loss prevention , ERP and email , electronic file sharing systems . This way , the application of usage controls happens automatically as files are downloaded , detected and shared . Because EDRM is highly adaptive ,
|
controls can be applied as standard to every shared document and specific restrictions can be set on individual files .
The emergence of data-centric solutions recognises that data is no longer contained exclusively within corporate networks . It also allows data to remain secure wherever it travels during collaboration or when the underlying infrastructure has been comprised . With an EDRM solution in place , organisations can collaborate with confidence .
