Many organizations are turning to OpenPGP (Pretty Good Privacy) as a means to persistently protect their mission-critical enterprise documents because of its universality.
Unfortunately, today's options for deploying OpenPGP-enabled enterprise applications are anything but pretty - requiring the development of scripted programs using custom API's. On top of tedious and repetitive OpenPGP implementations, organizations are then charged exorbitant and recurring license fees.
Business Imperatives Driving Content Security
1. PREVENT: As more information moves between applications that are not in the immediate control of the originator, it becomes essential to guarantee that only the intended recipients are given appropriate access privileges to the information- wherever it resides. This means a document that is sent across to a trading partner needs to be sealed until the time of processing.
2. GUARD: Collaborative applications using peer-to-peer, store-and-forward or grid networks expose business data to a new and extended group of users- in real-time and across corporate boundaries. Strict enforcement of document accessibility goes beyond access control and must include confidentiality across boundaries, auditing and accountability.
3. COMPLY: Sweeping regulations (corporate and government) to protect the privacy of end-user and client information require enterprises to take ownership of information security across its lifecycle. All of the industry-specific regulations are focused on content security and policies that enforce information security across time and space.
4. PROTECT: Mobility through laptops and wireless devices can quickly lead to highly sensitive information lying unprotected on hard disks and data stores.
