NextLabs Releases Major Updates of Its Cloud Offerings

Increased customer demand drives updates to CloudAz (Authorization Service) and SkyDRM (Rights Management Service)

San Mateo, California – April 27, 2020 — NextLabs today announced major updates to its cloud services, CloudAz and SkyDRM.

CloudAz, a dynamic authorization service, enables organizations to centrally view and control who can access which parts of an application, which business transactions a user can perform, what types of data they are allowed to access, and what they can do with that data. As a result, customers can accelerate application development, reduce time to market, streamline security management, and improve business agility at the end of the day.

SkyDRM, an information rights management service, keeps documents safe from unauthorized access and controls how they can be used to enable secure collaboration with internal and external users. Persistent protection of files allows protection to stay with the document, regardless of where it’s stored or who it’s shared with inside or outside an organization’s network. Essentially, customers get peace of mind, knowing their prized data remains protected no matter where it resides or who it goes to – across devices, apps, file servers, cloud services, and on-premises.

Key features include:

  • CloudAz
    • Policy-driven approach to automate audit and enforcement of data protection and compliance requirements dynamically
    • Centrally manage authorization policies across applications and services
    • Allow or deny access in real-time based on user and resource attributes

    • Monitor, remediate, and control sharing
    • Native integrations with SAP ERP, Siemens Teamcenter PLM, Microsoft Office, and leading CAD software such as NX, Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks, etc.
