GigaTrust Connector for CA SiteMinder: Extending RMS to Shared Web Applications and Portals

Every minute of every day thousands of executives at millions of organizations spend time buried in deep conversations discussing concerns about securing their intellectual property and confidential information. The issue is that there is so much information stored in various global locations that must be shared in order to keep organizations running smoothly. Once the desktops, laptops and BlackBerry mobile devices are secure, the job's not done. Content protection must be applied to Web applications and portals. Persistent content protection is a 24/7 job that encompasses devices and clouds.

With the introduction of GigaTrust Connector for CA SiteMinder, now users managed by SiteMinder are allowed to view content protected by Microsoft Active Directory Rights Management (ADRMS). This connector allows an enterprise to leverage their existing investment and deployment of SiteMinder as they launch and expand the use of Rights Management inside and outside their organization-the only product of its kind, from GigaTrust.

GigaTrust Connector for CA SiteMinder is a server-based solution that enables SiteMinder-authenticated users to obtain RMS credentials and fully participate in Rights Management activities. Access to RMS-protected content is completely controlled by the SiteMinder Policy Server by making the RMS Server SiteMinder Web Agent aware.

• Project teams can share planning and working documents stored in a portal
• Companies can collaborate with outside business partners on financial documents, project materials, product design and development, and intellectual property on a site providing access to all partners
• Manufacturers can make part designs and assembly schematics available to their supply chain partners through a multiple-user portal to increase speed to market and decrease costs

To facilitate collaboration, manage content, implement business processes, and supply access to information that is essential to an organization's success-information must be shared and it must be protected. Now with GigaTrust Connector for CA SiteMinder, Web applications and portals are safe and secure.
