Document security, or document access security, is the process of safeguarding documents and files from unwanted access or theft. It also refers to procedures carried out to prevent data from being manipulated or reproduced wrongfully.

Row-Level Security, or RLS, refers to the practice of controlling access to data in a database by row, so that users are only able to access the data they are authorized for.

As enterprises embrace various cloud applications, new challenges arise for digital rights management in terms of balancing information sharing and security which can lead to vulnerabilities such as cyber-attacks and data breaches. File-sharing services have some level of native security built into them, but it’s not enough to fully protect your data once it’s been shared.

A Policy Administration Point (PAP) is a component of a policy engine. PAP’s are often used by enterprise administrators to define fine-grained access entitlements for enterprise users who need access to managed software components and provides centralized policy administration, management, and monitoring of access policies through the PAP administration control center.

Many businesses operate in a data access mode known as “default to know,” particularly when they are in hyper-growth mode. The result is that there can be an uncontrolled and overly permissive approach to data access which can lead to hidden costs in terms of security and compliance. Now, it is possible to transition from “default to know” to “need to know” without stifling innovation by using DataSecOps.

A Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) protects an enterprise’s data by enforcing access control as a vital component of the XACML architecture. A PEP works with a Policy Decision Point (PDP) to interpret policies to control the behavior of the network devices in order to satisfy both the users and administrators of network resources.

As more data is shared across enterprise networks, file servers, and cloud environments, organizations need a solution to not only protect data within the enterprise but also when shared. This brings about the question, how do you continuously protect data once the file has been shared? The answer is persistent file protection.

Product designs created by designers and engineers with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tend to be deemed as intellectual property (IP) of the organization. Very often, these valuable assets need to be shared internally with employees and externally, which becomes risky. Digital Rights Management is crucial to mitigate these risks.
