Enterprises started showing more interest in data-centric security platforms in the recent past. The growing use of email platforms and enterprise collaboration systems required an encryption-based environment that defines permissions for different users and user groups. Access rights (i.e. view, edit, download, print, copy, and forward) could be controlled with next-generation IRM-enabled collaboration solutions.
The existing systems and platforms have security features, but these features are not adequate to address modern-day security concerns.
What are the security limitations of the existing information management system?
The traditional approach of information management system security is mostly perimeter security. In other words, this approach secures peripherals or the environment, not the data itself. Information will be secured only within the perimeter of a controlled environment. However, the same information can be accessed outside the secured environment by multiple means. We can understand it as email and data in a collaborative system is secure until it gets exposed to outside the system. There are certain limitations of these IMS security capabilities that make information vulnerable to data leakage.
