How Your Browser Can Enhance SharePoint Security
Flaws in the SharePoint security model must be addressed, and you have options
A gaping hole exists in SharePoint security. It isn’t the sort of hole one usually thinks about when considering content security, the type that allows unauthorized users to bypass controls and access restricted content. Rather, it’s a hole in the functionality spectrum.
That spectrum is marked by extremes: Out of the box and for no additional cost, SharePoint provides only basic document security options that protect the integrity of the repository but don’t effectively address misuse of content through unauthorized distribution.
This whitepaper describes an approach to achieving that middle ground by diverting SharePoint 2013 document viewing to a secure browser-based environment with customizable digital rights management (DRM) controls and other additional functionality.
This white paper covers:
- How the Status Quo leaves room for misuse
- Why the browser and HTML5 is the key
- How better DRM augments SharePoint's ROI
