SECUDE Closes Another Security Gap in Response to Evolution of Microsoft Rights Management ServicesCapitalizing on radical changes to 2013 Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS), SECUDE establishes its pioneering “Middleware” approach between SAP and Microsoft environments.
By: SECUDE “We are seeing an increased demand from our customers for security solutions that go beyond the traditional perimeter,” said Dr. Heiner Kromer, SECUDE’s CEO. “The traditional perimeter and its boundaries are quickly eroding. They don’t provide companies with comprehensive protection any longer, leaving gaps in their security. Industry trends, such as the rise of mobile computing, dispersed data storage, and increased collaboration between business partners, dictate the need for continuous information protection. Today, continuous data protection of data-at-rest and data-in-use is the new boundary that companies will have to deploy to remain secure.” Microsoft AD RMS, an information protection technology that safeguards sensitive data from unauthorized access, is undergoing key changes in 2013. It uses permissions and authorization to help prevent sensitive information from being printed, forwarded, or copied by unauthorized people. In its previous versions, the technology had certain limitations that restrained its full potential and widespread deployment in the business world. Now, information protection is supported on all main platforms, including Windows, iOS, Mac, Android, open source SDK for websites, Linux, and others. All file types are protected, from Microsoft Office and PDF files to images and text files. Most importantly, customers are able to collaborate and share securely across all boundaries within their own company as well as with their partners. SecureDocument intercepts data downloads from SAP to the end-user’s computer by leveraging AD RMS, thus protecting data even before it has left the secure boundaries of SAP. Downloaded data such as financial figures, HR data, customer and sales information is just as sensitive as the data in SAP systems, but chances are, it resides on users’ computers, shared via e-mail, or carried around on USB sticks, without any protection at all. SecureDocument acts as a “Middleware” “Layered over Microsoft AD RMS, SecureDocument presents an extraordinary solution,” said Michael Kummer, President of SECUDE Americas. “At SECUDE, we are always a step ahead of the game, creating solutions that are at the forefront of the latest trends. The new technology will allow SECUDE to deliver solutions to customers that push the traditional boundaries and provide continuous protection of information in a flexible way.” About SECUDE SECUDE is an innovative global provider of IT data protection solutions.
