Personal Computer
Like it or not, employees are likely to work on and store work-related documents on a personal computer. This naïve behavior can cause considerable damage to an organization if the device is lost or stolen. As well, if the employee leaves the company, the sensitive intellectual property and data can easily be shared with the next employer or other unauthorized recipients.
How do you control the use of personal computers for work related activities? Persistent digital rights management should be applied to all sensitive documents. The newer solutions enable the organization to not only control who and what a person can do with a file, they can also control which IP address or device can be used to access and work on the file. That puts the organization in complete control of their information.
