Session ID: S317363
Session Title: Client-Side Security as a Middleware Service
Date/Location: Wednesday, September 22, 1:00PM | Moscone South, Rm 310
Session Abstract: Information rights management technology is often used to protect highly sensitive information in constrained workflows. Although the technology could clearly provide value in a much wider range of use cases, organizations often face the challenge of training numerous staff members to start classifying their information and to make correct classification decisions. In this session, see how integrating IRM into an enterprise as an identity management service can complement an existing application stack. This can extend the enforcement of information classification policy out to the multitude of devices used to access sensitive information both online and offline around the globe, without the need to change most end user workflows.
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker(s)/Company: Andy Peet, Oracle, Product Manager & Simon Thorpe, Product Expert.

Oracle releases Information Rights Management (IRM) 11g
Early this month Oracle released the latest version of its Information Rights Management software called Oracle IRM 11g. This new version is a complete server re-write since it acquired SealedMedia a few years ago. And though I am yet to do a technical assessment of what this new system does, Oracle have taken IRM to new levels in terms of the features and levels of support it provides.
Oracle IRM 11g is now hosted inside WebLogic Server, Oracle’s enterprise class application server. This means you can leverage the authentication models which are provided with WebLogic and at last gain real time support for LDAP authentication. Windows based authentication is still available and the new IRM 11g web based management pages can leverage common SSO authentication techniques.
Oracle IRM 11g is now on RedHat, SUSE and Oracle Enterprise Linux, Windows, AIX, Solaris and HP-UX against either Oracle or a Microsoft database. The full range of certified platforms is available here. Better still there is now support for 27 major languages including Chinese and Japanese. This has resulted in Oracle sealing a number of deals in Asia due to support for double byte languages.
In Oracle IRM 11g, you can now set various time restrictions for which access to the document is valid. The server employs the concept of roles to define who can do what with a document, once a role is used at a context level. When the role changes due to new business requirements, for example the business no longer wants its suppliers to print its engineering designs, it can just make that policy change at the role level and this change is propagated to every context that uses this role.
From what I have read, the new Oracle IRM 11g server is a giant leap forward from its previous version and reflects Oracles commitment to help its clients achieve persistent security on its confidential data and intellectual property.
This is a video of the Oracle IRM technology integrated with Symantec DLP to provide a strong solution for detecting and securing your confidential documents when stored on network file shares.
Welcome to the Enterprise Rights Management space (Also known as Information Rights Management). My name is Peter Abatan, an advisor in Enterprise Rights Management. I believe the potential for Rights Management is still greatly unknown, my prediction is that it will become the security tool that both businesses and individuals embrace.
Watch this space for ideas on how Enterprise Rights Management will become the key to driving new innovations on the web and within organisations.
