How does Safeguard Enterprise PDF DRM differ from file encryption products?
Whilst file encryption products protect information that is in transit or when stored on disk, they do not provide protection for the entire lifecycle of an electronic document. Once a document reaches the recipient, the protection is lost (the recipient decrypts the document), and the document can then be forwarded, copied, altered or viewed by unauthorized recipients. In addition, encryption does not provide controls over document access rights – what a user can or cannot do with the document (print control, etc.) or when a document expires. Safeguard Enterprise PDF DRM dynamically protects PDF documents inside and outside the enterprise, online and offline, with strong encryption, document expiry and access rights, to provide persistent, end-to-end protection throughout a protected PDF document’s lifecycle.
