Protect Files in Any Storage Platforms with NextLabs Data-Centric Security
NextLabs SkyDRM for File Storage delivers real-time, persistent data protection directly to files stored in your enterprise storage and document management systems. Using NextLabs’s patented attribute-based access control (ABAC) policy platform, organizations can automatically protect files at rest and extend that protection wherever the files travel – inside or outside the storage system – without changing existing workflows.
SkyDRM helps organizations secure sensitive design data, support regulatory compliance, and enable trusted collaboration by applying controls such as
- Automated rights protection at rest (tag and encrypt)
- Classification inherited from storage metadata and security labels
- Dynamic access and usage control (view, edit, print, copy, screen capture)
- Time-based expiration and dynamic watermarking
- Secure viewing from any HTML5-compatible browser
Why Use SkyDRM for File Storage?
Protection at the Source – Automatically protect files at rest inside your storage platform, before they shared or downloaded
Persistent Protection – Encryption and usage rights travel with the file wherever it goes, inside or outside the storage system.
Real-Time Decisions – Evaluate every request using file classification, metadata, and user attributes from your identity provider.
Native Experience – Authorized users open, view, and edit protected files in Microsoft Office and other native applications.
SkyDRM for File Storage Products
Automatically protects legal and business documents managed in iManage by inheriting client and matter security labels, enforcing rights through the check-out and check-in workflow so protection stays with files inside and outside iManage.
Automatically protects files stored in the VAST Data platform using metadata-based classification drawn from S3, NTFS ADS, and file path, keeping protection bound to files even after they are copied or moved out of VAST.
Common Capabilities Across All Storage Platforms
Automated rights protection – Encrypt and tag files at rest inside the storage system based on predefined rules.
Classification inheritance – Apply protection using metadata and security labels from the storage platform to classify files automatically.
Dynamic access and usage control – Enforce view, edit, print, re-share, save as, screen capture, extract, watermark, and expiration based on classification and user attributes.
Persistent protection – Keep encryption and rights bound to files wherever they travel, inside or outside the storage system.
Native application support – Open, view, and edit protected files in Microsoft Office and other native applications after check-out.
Secure viewing – View protected files from any device through an HTML5-compatible browser, with hundreds of supported file formats.
Centralized visibility – Monitor and report on data use from a single platform for full visibility and simplified compliance.
