How does Safeguard PDF Security differ from file encryption products?
Whilst file encryption products protect information whilst it 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 be forwarded, copied and 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 document expiry. Safeguard PDF Security dynamically protects PDF documents inside and outside the network, 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.
