NEW REALITIES IN CONTENT CONTROL

In today’s enterprise, measures need to be taken to prevent the leakage of confidential or sensitive information from all collaboration workspaces and communication channel contexts. At the same time, organizations must address the creeping infestation of malware through every available collaboration and communications channel.

Collaboration products of all kinds protect shared media such as databases, as well as store and forward media such as email, subscription/syndication, and real time communications. Yet, if emerging communication, collaboration, and content capabilities are to fulfill their potential to enhance the productive friction among distributed transnational/trans-organizational workforces, security concerns must be addressed from the inside out and the outside in.

This Cross-Cutting Concern will address:

• How enterprises must prevent the leakage of confidential or sensitive information from all collaboration and communication channel contexts
• Architectures providing defenses such as content filtering, encryption, rights management and other transforms
• How organizations must address the creeping infestation of malware through every available collaboration and communications channel
• Conflicts between encryption and inspection as well as the distributed management infrastructure required to update policy decision and enforcement
• Sorting through the superplatform collaboration products, communication/collaboration startups, content filtering, rights management and anti-malware vendors
• When to use multi-protocol/product category content control tools instead of tools focused on point problems
