In Brief


It’s about securing the data and intellectual property of the enterprise. Growth in demand for mobility, online real-time social networking and collaborative web sites creates a new threat level in data and intellectual property protection.

Improved security over collaborative websites has become a business imperative. In a federated digital world where customers and partners expect the ability to access and share data, no longer is it possible for organizations to protect the containers of data or the outer boundary of the enterprise. IT and data security professionals now agree the solution is to robustly govern user and group access, data governance and security, data transmission and systems, and the intellectual property and personally-identifiable information of the enterprise.

Modern enterprise portal security and governance architectures have the potential to govern and monitor the inter-relationships between users, web portals, applications and the data points they access down to item level.
