A North American electronics manufacturer relied on a perimeter security solution to gate the entry to documents hosted on their extranet, which included design reviews, price lists, patent applications and more. The company learned how just ineffective their document protection strategy was when a former partner leaked design documents for a new product to a competitor. To prevent this type of breach again, the company began researching DRM tools that would enable them to revoke access to documents even outside their extranet, as well as watermark any printouts with user-identifying data. After reviewing several DRM solutions, the company chose FileOpen RightServer™ as a first line of defense for their documents.
