Last week I had the honor of speaking to an international group of standards organizations at the Standards Publishing Advisory Board (SPAB) annual meeting, hosted by our partner. Standards Developing Organizations, or SDOs, are responsible for disseminating the documents that describe their industrys or their countrys standards for building, manufacturing, military equipment, and so on (in the U.S., you may have heard of, and standards). Thanks to standards, we have consistency and interoperability in the products and systems we use every day. The Web browser you are reading this article on is a small wonder of engineering.

Fileopen Plug-in Update Available For Mac Pro

Its origins can be traced back almost a quarter of a century, and is now one of 100+ available browsers serving over. With those statistics one can only imagine the rate of change when it comes to browser development. Most of the time browser development improves user experience; making it faster, safer or more secure to surf the Web. However, sometimes those advancements cause users to change their workflow or expectations on how a browser should behave. In this post we are going to take a look at recent developments that affect users opening FileOpen-protected PDFs in a Web browser and how FileOpen is adapting to this change. Today we are very much digital citizens with the worlds information at our fingertips; we are always on, operating in real-time. The amount of data we produce is staggering.

Every time we share, copy to the cloud, re-name, edit and redistribute a file, we are scattering data. Often times this choice is made out of convenience rather than security or future data management work-load. To put this into context, I logged into my personal Google Drive this morning. I found sensitive and proprietary information in documents shared with me from former co-workers, bankers, lawyers and agencies that was no longer of great importance to me, but could cause significant damage if stolen, given to a competitor or otherwise abused. While my example may not make big headlines, there is ample cause for concern.

As of this morning, there are 39,100 PDF files indexed by Google that have not for public release in the title. How many times per day do you have to remember your username and password to access an application or Web page?

According, consumers have an average of 23 online accounts, and more avid Internet users have a much higher number. In my own experience, as of noon today, Ive already logged into 9 different applications - all of which have required username and password authentication.

To make matters worse, I had to reset a password to a website I hadnt used in a while. That said, we at FileOpen know just how frustrating it is to manage what seems is a never ending list of credentials in your head. So todays post will cover how you can protect your high-value documents without some of the inherent pain points and security issues associated with username and password authentication. Document security is one of the most important challenges faced by businesses today. Your documents contain your companys proprietary, confidential or regulated data and are likely the most valuable things on your computer or network. FileOpen document security and rights management software not only allows businesses to set up strict access and usage controls to documents, it also provides additional layers of security to prevent or deter the unauthorized redistribution of the data in your documents. At FileOpen we understand that building out your security infrastructure can be a daunting task.

Every document security and DRM vendor claims their solution is bigger, better and faster than the others. It is vital to evaluate these claims and potential issues before a solution is purchased. We advise our potential customers to create a checklist encompassing their core requirements and desired results. A checklist may start small and grow as you assess each solution.
