NextLabs' SkyDRM is an enterprise digital rights management platform designed to provide persistent protection for sensitive files throughout their lifecycle—at rest, in use, and in transit. By employing attribute-based policies, SkyDRM dynamically controls access and usage rights, ensuring that only authorized individuals can perform specific actions such as viewing, editing, copying, forwarding, printing, or extracting content. This protection extends across various environments, including devices, data centers, applications, cloud services, and on-premises systems, facilitating secure collaboration without compromising data security.
