Data protection is a major concern for organizations in every industry. Currently most data protection efforts are restricted to full disk encryption, meaning that only content on the hard drive is protected. For collaborative enterprise organizations, this leaves all content that is shared and consumed in the environment unsecure. To achieve maximum data protection and effectively protect all valuable company information, organizations must implement security tools that also protect unstructured data that often resides in multiple locations, travels between various users, is contained in email attachments, saved onto storage devices or any other location beyond the reach of the organization’s security measures.
Liquid Machines, a leading Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) solutions provider, is dedicated to advancing the protection of critical business content and audit usage while enabling collaboration. They have developed Document Control and Email Control solutions which allow organizations in highly regulated industries to securely share information within any application, wherever it goes, and throughout its entire lifecycle. Their software solutions leverage a unique combination of rights management, encryption and next-generation monitoring technologies for compliance in a single solution that secures all and every vital content. This is accomplished through the combination of centrally-defined data access and information usage with Liquid Machine’s trademarked Policy Droplet control interface to simultaneously promote a collaborative environment and protect sensitive information without effecting the way users work.
Liquid Machines ERM solutions take information protection beyond full disk encryption by ensuring that policy protection is disseminated during standard information use. Their solutions provide effective security measures at the information-level for shared data. For files accessed by authorized users, standard functions such as copy, paste, save as and convert to PDF remain available; however, any new resulting information maintains the original security settings. Additionally, content remains safe in the case that it is copied and pasted from a protected document into an unprotected one, even across different applications.
To further protect data leakage, all methods of content distribution, i.e. copy/paste, email, network transfer, files, printing, etc., are logged and controlled. Liquid Machines’ solutions also provide robust audit trails and reporting capabilities in order to provide authorized users with all details regarding exactly who accessed what regulated information and when.
