DRM continues to prosper with recent developments of solutions for the cloud and mobility
Recently the impact of digital rights management (DRM) in the workplace has made a bigger impact because people use the cloud and mobile devices to retrieve documents for work. The need to secure and protect those files has risen dramatically because of this.

According to Pranabesh Nath, an Asia-Pacific ICT Manager at Frost and Sullivan, internal research showed DRM’s market size at $977.2 million in 2012, and is expected to reach $2.96 billion in 2017. It is important to realize that a one-size-fits-all approach may not work in this rapidly growing market. Those providers with more experience in deploying DRM solutions will be more reliable and be able to meet the varying requirements and business environments of customers.

Protecting confidential files from hackers
In the last month there have been revelations that Chinese hackers infiltrated both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Very recently allegations that a clandestine Chinese military unit conducted sophisticated cyber espionage stealing economic and trade secrets from dozens of US and Canadian companies have come to light. Apple, Facebook and Twitter also faced data breaches through hacking incidents in the last few weeks.

Sophisticated computer hacking makes all of us more vulnerable to data breaches and theft of our intellectual property. No one is immune. Stories about cyber espionage focus on stealing corporate secrets or infiltrating government or infrastructure systems. The Chinese hackers were trying to steal intellectual property. This information is typically sitting in documents on desktops, servers, mobile devices and in the cloud.

Fasoo’s EDRM and new DigitalQuick secure collaboration service can solve this problem by controlling who can access and use intellectual property. Fasoo encrypts files and applies a persistent security policy on each document to prevent unauthorized users from accessing them. You can decide who can view, edit and print the document. If a hacker gets hold of the file, it is useless to them.

Securely Share Files in the Cloud
According to recent research by Gartner, businesses and consumers will buy about 1.2 billion smartphones and tablets in 2013. So many people are on the go that cloud-based personal collaboration services (PCS), such as Box, Dropbox, SugarSync and others have exploded. Many individuals and businesses store and share files through these cloud services. According to Forrester Research, the number of PCS subscribers in North America is expected to reach 167 million by 2016. These numbers are probably low since Dropbox stated in November 2012 that its subscribers hit 100 million.

DRM can limit your liability
46 states in the US have data breach notification laws that address when personally identifiable information (PII) is breached. According to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, since 2005 there have been about 3500 data breaches made public affecting 605 million records – the actual numbers may be higher, since laws differ on when to notify affected customers. Current laws require a business or organization to notify a customer of a data breach when social security numbers, financial information, health data and other unique data that a criminal could use to steal your identity or money is involved. The financial and legal liabilities come from having to notify customers after a data breach, but also come from violating other laws, such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and others.

Strategic Value and Drivers behind Organizational Adoption of Enterprise DRM: The Korean Case
Dr. Jean-Henry Morin and Dr. Anat Hovav, both well-known experts in information security, composed a scientific thesis on Enterprise DRM (EDRM) and its adoption in three large companies in Korea.The study found that Knowledge Management (KM) appears to be a leading driver for organizational adoption of Enterprise DRM in Korea contrary to their initial assumption that compliance is the most important driver. This appears to contradict North American and European trends where many EDRM projects are driven by compliance related to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Basel II, HIPAA, and other regulations.
