Enterprises started showing more interest in data-centric security platforms in the recent past. The growing use of email platforms and enterprise collaboration systems required an encryption-based environment that defines permissions for different users and user groups. Access rights (i.e. view, edit, download, print, copy, and forward) could be controlled with next-generation IRM-enabled collaboration solutions.
The existing systems and platforms have security features, but these features are not adequate to address modern-day security concerns.
The traditional approach of information management system security is mostly perimeter security. In other words, this approach secures peripherals or the environment, not the data itself. Information will be secured only within the perimeter of a controlled environment. However, the same information can be accessed outside the secured environment by multiple means. We can understand it as email and data in a collaborative system is secure until it gets exposed to outside the system. There are certain limitations of these IMS security capabilities that make information vulnerable to data leakage.
Due to these limitations of perimeter security, organizations require a more advanced system that enables protection at the data level and protects it throughout the entire data lifecycle.
Enterprises need an IRM-enabled enterprise collaboration system that could have the following features.
It will enable enterprises to protect commercially sensitive data, personal information, and business reports & documents secured until they get archived or deleted. The document lifecycle must be protected by shrinking the perimeter security with IRM (Information Rights Management) especially when file exchanging with third parties are the daily routine of team members.
Knovos Rooms is an enterprise collaboration solution for document management and knowledge sharing. It is a highly secure solution for commercially sensitive information transactions and file sharing. It has been developed to fill the security capabilities gap for information rights and compliance for enterprises.
Built on the ‘information-centric security’ feature, Knovos Rooms’ IRM enables enterprises to secure information on-premise and off-premise data from unauthorized access. It means that information and its control can now be separately created, viewed, edited, and distributed.
An adequate IRM system is typically used to protect the information in a business-to-business model, such as financial documents, M & A documents, and commercially sensitive personal details, etc. It empowered information owners to centrally audit and report any authorized as well as unauthorized access attempts. The information and documents are more secure than ever while sharing with external parties, partners, advisers, and other users.
