Friendly Breaches? Not with Oracle IRM and URM
I hate doom and gloom selling. I once invited a home security company to my house to go through their pitch. It basically came down to, "if you love your babies and your wife, you'd better buy our service and our little sign for your front yard."
I hated that.
But I still think about it.
Information thievery is much less obtrusive but still potentially devastating. Which is why I find this Interesting...
Quote: "Since January 1st 2007, the single largest contributing cause to electronic breaches is not hacking or insider malice but simply inadvertent exposure. Here are the details. Word documents and spreadsheets mistakenly left on a web server or indexed by a search engine account for 20.6% of the 276 breaches, both physical and digital, recorded up to the 23rd of October."
Seems that encrypting those files in a way that still allows folks to use them would solve the problem. Well, it wouldn't solve the problem of institutional laziness that leaves those documents on a web server or such, but it would prevent the harmful effects of leaving them there (again, if they were sealed somehow)
<oracle plug> So what are you to do? Take a look at Oracle Information Rights Management and Oracle Universal Records Management. IRM seals (encrypts) the files so that, even if they're found, only the provisioned users can access them. URM enforces lifecycle rules about where they are to live and when and how they are to be destroyed. That means the information has less of a chance at being left, accidentally, on some exposure point.</oracle plug>
