Digital Rights Management

Overview

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a systematic approach to protecting copyrighted data. It helps prevent unauthorised distribution and restricts users from copying or leaking sensitive content. You can increase security and mitigate leakage risks without compromising on collaboration, flexibility and workflow efficiency.

Challenges

More and more business processes rely on sharing data, not just between employees but also with external partners and customers, making it increasingly difficult to ensure confidential information stays secure.

Data leaks are all too common in today’s digital marketplace, and often result in a loss of productivity, revenue and customer loyalty. It has been shown that security breaches are often attributable to legitimate users and human error. One email sent to the wrong person by mistake can end up costing the company billions.

With so many different systems in use, there are bound to be gaps. You need one solution that is solely focused on protecting actual data and monitoring documents throughout their life cycle, so nothing slips through the gaps.

Solutions

DRM gives you complete control over all sensitive content. You decide who can receive, save, edit, print and send documents. You can even set restrictions on copying, pasting and taking screenshots. This high level of security helps ensure that all confidential information stays that way.

Reduce risk of confidential information falling into the wrong hands with a solution that provides strong, fool proof protection. Now, you can set a lifespan for your confidential files, so they self-destruct in the event of a breach, limiting any potential damage to your organisation.

DRM provides persistent protection – security that stays with the file wherever it goes. By encrypting files locally, file security is kept independent from transport, collaboration and storage mechanisms. With this unique and effective security solution, you can continue to collaborate and share data without risking illegal plagiarism.
