Exception Based Enterprise Rights Management : Towards a Paradigm Shift in Information Security and Policy Management

Authors:
Jean-Henry Morin

Keywords: DRM, Exception Management, Monitoring

Abstract:
Enterprise DRM is still dominated by vendor driven proprietary approaches fundamentally lacking interoperability features and essentially relying on strong cryptography lacking the flexibility to accommodate unanticipated work situations requiring exceptional actions. Consequently users increasingly circumvent corporate security policies just to get their work done and such incidents simply go unnoticed. From a management and security point of view this represents a risk in an increasingly compliance driven and networked economy. This paper explores the opportunity to apply an exception-based model for Enterprise DRM building on the proposition that monitoring security policies could be as effective as strong enforcement and provide more accurate information to manage and tune corporate digital policies.
