Increasingly, an organization’s most valuable asset, next to its employees, is the digital information it collects, stores, and analyzes. That digital content, whether in unstructured form such as documents, images, spreadsheets, reports, files, and records, or in structured form such as information in a database or application, needs to be protected in order to meet security, privacy, and compliance requirements.

In order to effectively protect its content, an organization must define, enforce, and audit the access policies to its digital information – specifically, it is critical to control who can see the content, who can create it, who can change it, who can publish it, and who can delete it. Many organizations have begun to adopt content management solutions to store and manage digital information, which is typically shared through presentation technologies such as enterprise portals. Since the content, however, is distributed and heterogeneous, and also exposed via other channels such as file shares, databases, and applications, it is critical to consistently apply fine-grained access policies across these systems using an Entitlement Management platform.

Securent’s Entitlement Management Solution enables organizations to centrally configure, control, view, and audit fine-grained access policies for enterprise content across all repositories and access channels. Securent integrates with these systems by externalizing authorization from the core portal and content management infrastructure including applications, content management systems, and databases, using agents that intercept traffic flowing through these channels. Policies can be centrally configured to allow or deny access based on the identity and presence attributes of the users, the attributes of the content, other environmental variables (e.g. time of day), and segregation of duty requirements.

Securent supports the leading enterprise portal and content management products, including:

• Microsoft SharePoint New
• IBM WebSphere Portal
• BEA WebLogic Portal
• JBoss Portal
• Documentum
