Microsoft AD RMS Enabler

THE CHALLENGE

Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) is an excellent and prevalent data protection engine. However, the solution is rarely exploited to the fullest on an enterprise level, owing to poor usability, a steep learning curve, constrained native coverage (MS-Office only), and complex integration for use with line-of-business applications. Moreover, the system doesn’t enable effective external collaboration, doesn’t support a centralized security policy, and offers only basic auditing capabilities for compliance and forensics.

THE SECURE ISLANDS SOLUTION

Secure Islands enhances your ongoing AD RMS implementation, by providing automatic protection based on “hands-free” classification, multi file format support, centrally managed classification and protection policy, managed processes for protected content collaboration and more. Solutions from Secure Islands leverage native RMS capabilities, while adding a simple but powerful management layer based on sophisticated, real-time classification of data from any enterprise source.

• Automates RMS protection driven by classification on endpoints, repositories and ECM systems.
• Enables ongoing data-centric risk assessment and reporting, auditing and forensics.
• Instantly broadens AD RMS coverage to include any file, mail, web page, or application field based on a central policy.
• Enables “white listing” of trusted applications to access AD RMS protected data for smooth operation.
