n today's enterprise, the exchange of valuable technical and business data happens at blinding speeds. Single sign-on networks, portals, product lifecycle management (PLM), and other content-management systems facilitate the flow of ideas from concept into tangible marketplace products.

Yet, for all their prowess and efficiency, these systems are vulnerable in one key area: security. Once users provision documents out of such systems, the documents are out "in the wild," and, effectively out of your control. The likelihood of costly exposures skyrockets. 

What Is the ShareSafe SDK?

The ShareSafe SDK is a comprehensive developers’ tool-kit that extends technical-data management systems with in-use security for the data that these systems help to manage. The ShareSafe SDK consists of two modules:

• Packaging Engine: Contains the logic for securing content, assigning it permissions, and generally restricting what users can do with it.
• Directory Services: Contains Directory Adapters to leverage your enterprise authentication and ID-management systems to ensure that secure content is accessed only by intended recipients. The SDK includes ready-made Directory Adapters for Active Directory, LDAP, and Lotus Domino. In addition, the Directory Services Module facilitates the creation of custom adapters to meet database, single sign-on, web portal, and any other ID-management infrastructure.

The Case for the ShareSafe SDK

Deciding whether your organization should protect high-value, electronically shared information is not so much a matter of if, but when. The ShareSafe SDK integrates file protection as documents are provisioned out of an application or content-management system. The only question you really must answer is how long can your enterprise afford to be without it.
