As the enterprise is increasingly becoming connected to the outside world via technologies such as email and web services, securing sensitive information is quickly showing up on CIOs’ priority lists. A key component to fulfilling an organization’s security mandate is to ensure that critical content remains under tight control of the enterprise, whether that content is distributed internally or externally.
Implementation of an Information Rights Management solution helps companies gain confidence that content is secure, no matter where it resides

FILE SECURE™ (IRM)

Attempts to solve this problem by securing the content, not just the resources that house the content like file servers or web sites. With FILE SECURE™, enterprises can mark selected content as protected and authorize select users or groups of users to perform specific actions on the content, including copying, printing, and emailing.

Principals

FILE SECURE™, defines Principals as those entities that are authorized to perform given actions on content. Typically, a Principal is a user on the network.

Policies

Policies define what actions are acceptable for a given piece of content and a particular Principal or set of Principals.

Encryption

Content that is considered “protected” under IRM generally has strong encryption applied to it. This encryption prevents unauthorized users from making any sense of the data.
