At the Gilbane conference in San Francisco Liquid Machines announced two new Enterprise Rights Management solutions to simply information protection without requiring changes to normal user behavior. Liquid Machines Google Mini Gateway enables organizations using the Google Mini enterprise search appliance to index and search rights-managed content. Using the Liquid Machines Google Mini Gateway, enterprises can create and maintain a comprehensive index of rights-managed enterprise content, and make that index available to authorized users via the Google search interface. The solution recognizes when the Google Mini appliance requests a protected document, and dynamically decrypts the document to provide a clear-text copy for indexing. When a request comes from a standard user, protected documents matching the key search criteria appear as links in the Google Mini interface. The requested file is rights-managed, with access and usage policies seamlessly enforced using Liquid Machines Document Control. Liquid Machines Fileshare Gateway enables customers to easily secure their regulated and confidential documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other electronic files that exist on network servers and file shares. Liquid Machines Fileshare Gateway extends the networked file server approach to managing and controlling access by placing the protection on the data, automatically encrypting files such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and diagrams as they are added to, or modified in, a folder or file share. This ensures protection not only when documents are stored, but during usage and distribution (e.g. open, edit, save, save as, copy/paste, drag and drop, print, etc.).
