Adobe Delivers Rights Management for Documents with Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server
Adobe Systems Incorporated announced the immediate availability of Adobe® LiveCycleT Policy Server. Tightly integrated with Adobe Acrobat® 7.0 and Adobe Reader® 7.0 (see separate release), LiveCycle Policy Server enables organizations to apply policies to electronic documents for added assurances of persistent confidentiality, privacy and accountability inside and outside the firewall.
Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server enables organizations to manage document policies by determining who can view a PDF document, and whether the recipient can modify, copy, print or forward the document. Through integration with standard LDAP-based authentication and identity management infrastructures for centralized document control, the software provides assurances that only intended recipients can open a protected document. The permissions on these documents also can be changed or revoked, regardless of how many copies were distributed or where the documents reside.
"Privacy and security are high priorities in today's business environment, yet companies often don't take into account the fact that their most sensitive information resides in and is shared via electronic documents. Without proper protection of these documents, organizations face serious risks to their financial performance, intellectual property, customer privacy, and more," said Ivan Koon, senior vice president, Intelligent Documents business unit at Adobe. "From bank statements to product plans, access and use must be precisely controlled and monitored. LiveCycle Policy Server helps ensure this information is shared in a more safe and secure manner."
Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server is a part of Adobe's Intelligent Document Platform for generating, collaborating, processing and securing intelligent documents in the enterprise. Together with Adobe LiveCycle Document Security software, LiveCycle Reader Extensions software and Acrobat, they enable more secure communications via electronic documents, ultimately allowing organizations to improve operational efficiencies and deliver enhanced customer service, while mitigating risks.
