Persistent document security
- Protects access to documents throughout their lifetime — online, offline, and outside the network
|
- Apply persistent security at the document level
- Support intranet and extranet usage
|
On-the-fly, granular policy creation
- Allows flexible creation of policies from the user desktop, with different document usage rights (such as open, modify, or print) assigned to different individuals
- Applies flexible initial access and expiration dates and other availability restrictions to documents
- Provides granular administration of policy creation and visibility
|
- Custom create policies for specific documents or usage situations
- Choose from existing personal or shared corporate policies
- Assign rights to individuals according to their need to interact with the document
- Allow policies to be shared among teams and restricted from general use
|
Dynamic security policy management
- Provides document owners with the ability to change access rights after documents have been distributed
- Authorization software development kit (SDK) allows further dynamic policy controls (such as client IP address restriction or one-time printing)
|
- Automate individual user access rights after documents are distributed
- Minimize the risk of exposure, litigation, or loss of critical sensitive information
- Leverage access rights defined in existing systems (for example, document repository systems)
|
Document access auditing
- All activity (open, modify, print, close) on protected documents can be logged by the server and reviewed by the author of the document
|
- Verify compliance via audits of activity logs
- Provide better compliance through persistent document-level security
|
Offline access enablement
- Provides the ability to grant recipients the right to access documents offline for a specified time; forces recipients to reauthenticate after offline period has expired
|
- Apply persistent document-level security in all situations
- Leverage all online security functionality — such as dynamic policy management and document access auditing — during offline viewing
|
Version control and access revocation
- Revokes access to outdated files and automatically provides a link to a current version as they are published
- Allows immediate revocation of access to distributed documents for individuals or groups in the event of termination or security breach
|
- Ensure that only the latest versions of key engineering drawings, manuals, RFPs, or price lists are used or in circulation
- Revoke access for ex-employees, former business partners, and others to protect critical information
- Stop access to documents immediately in the event of password loss
|
Broad application integration
- Assigns policies to documents created in Word, Excel, or CATIA V5 and to PDF files created from any source
- Provides SDK and application programming interfaces (APIs) to integrate with leading ECM and PDM systems
|
- Apply persistent and dynamic security policies to a variety of file formats beyond PDF
- Work with other Adobe® LiveCycle® solution components to enable more secure automated document workflows across the enterprise
- Work in conjunction with ECM and PDM solutions to provide for dynamic document protection on checkout
- Allow desktop "drag-and-drop" policy application of documents
|
