Integrated Tools for Maximum Data Protection
The Information Protection solution from Microsoft Forefront automatically discovers, protects, and manages confidential information throughout your organization by integrating with your existing platforms and applications. It enables secure access from virtually any location and virtually any device, and protects data wherever it resides, wherever it goes, and wherever it is used—on servers, in e-mail, or on a device.
Protect Everywhere, Access Anywhere
The Information Protection solution helps organizations prevent unauthorized use of information wherever it goes and resides.
- Automatically protect email and attached information according to context sensitive policies using Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS).
- Automatically protect documents stored in SharePoint Document Libraries and Lists by easily enabling AD RMS policies.
- Leverage RSA DLP’s best-in-class, automated discovery and classification to protect sensitive information at rest.
- Protect information based on location, content, and user identity through integration between AD RMS rights policy templates and Windows File Classification Infrastructure.
- Protect information on laptops and portable media using full-volume drive encryption and boot component integrity checks by BitLocker™ and BitLocker To Go, both built into Windows 7.
Integrate and Extend Security across the Enterprise
The Information Protection solution provides consistent, persistent identity and credentials that can flow between organizations and applications for more secure collaboration with business partners.
- Integration with Active Directory Federation Services to facilitate singular, consistent identity and credentials.
Simplify the Security Experience and Manage Compliance
Policy-based automatic discovery, classification, and protection of sensitive information provided by the Information Protection solution can simplify security management, reduce IT overhead, and help organizations meet compliance requirements:
- Avoid accidental compliance errors and integrate information protection with native capabilities built into Microsoft SharePoint Server and AD RMS policies.
- Reduce legal liability through keyword and phrase scanning, file detection, and other mechanisms built into the platform to prevent content such as copyrighted documents or objectionable materials from being stored on corporate systems.
- Enable compliance by allowing administrators to check for BitLocker operation on endpoints.
