We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Industry Experts Say Information Management Mistakes Wreak Havoc in the Public Sector
ReymannGroup, Inc. publishes "Forward-looking Thought Leadership" report on a persistent approach for protecting information regardless of where it resides, where it is sent, or how it is used
EDGEWATER, Md., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The security paradigm has shifted
again. Traditional perimeter and network based security practices are no
longer adequate. In a complimentary report published today, "Hidden Truth: How
Information Management Mistakes Wreak Havoc in the Public Sector,"
ReymannGroup, Inc. details how the ubiquitous nature of information creation,
storage, and sharing is driving each government agency to seek better ways to
control, track and report what is happening to its information at all times.

"With today's 'inverted security model,' users share sensitive data inside
and outside of the network and throughout the virtual environment," stated
Paul R. Reymann, CEO of ReymannGroup, Inc. "Agencies are looking for solutions
that protect information regardless of where it resides, where it is sent, or
how it is used. We found that Enterprise Rights Management enables agencies to
implement persistent security that successfully protects the actual data or
document throughout its existence -- including while in use. This is in
contrast to traditional approaches that focus solely on data at rest or in
transit."
The ReymannGroup report was written in collaboration with Liquid Machines
and shares practical examples of how public sector agencies are adopting
Enterprise Rights Management technology to establish a successful
information-centric approach to security. A complimentary e-seminar that
explores the trends, risks, and best practice strategies is also available at
http://www.liquidmachines.com/ReymannGroup-Webcast.
"We were honored to collaborate with ReymannGroup on this report. The
combination of increasing information protection regulations and the need to
collaborate has created an urgent need among agencies for better security that
is less invasive," says Keith Johnson, Vice President of Public Sector, Liquid
Machines. "Liquid Machines is well-positioned to help our clients balance
security with productivity with an information-centric approach that secures
the data itself, not just the device."
