Summary

This paper provides an overview of how an organization can better protect sensitive information by using Microsoft Windows rights management technologies. Specifically, the paper covers the Rights Management Add-on (RMA) for Internet Explorer, the .rmh (RMH) file format, and the rights-managed HTML (RMH) software development kit (SDK).

Information leaks are an increasing risk in today's digital world. Loss of confidential information can cause significant damage to an organization.

With the pervasiveness of the Internet and e-mail as communication tools and the drive to minimize costs by reducing the use of paper, most organizations extensively use and forward digital information. This practice increases the risk of confidential information accidentally or intentionally getting into the wrong hands. The potential loss of revenue, competitive advantage, and customer confidence caused by information leaks can compromise an organization's ability to accomplish its goals.
