SafeNet Overview

SafeNet provides rights management products and services that protect and enable revenue for intellectual property (IP). SafeNet rights management solutions serve three key industry segments:

• Software - Application developers need to protect themselves from the relentless threat of piracy. Nearly $33 Billion in revenue was lost to piracy worldwide in 2004. Far beyond preventing piracy, an effective rights management solution also allows organizations to increase revenues through flexible licensing models and decrease operational costs through automation.
• Entertainment - Providers of movies, music, games and other entertainment must also defend their revenue against piracy. Technology that has made piracy easier, such as P2P networks and broadband access, can actually represent new distribution channels for content providers equipped with rights management systems.
• Enterprise - Enterprises need to protect the sensitive data they regularly create. From corporate financial data to private customer information, DRM technology enables enterprises to effectively control access to information.
  
  SafeNet's Rights Management solutions address the entire licensing and distribution process and are flexible enough to adjust to the business needs of our customers.

Entertainment Rights Management

Many entertainment content providers are realizing that the problem of piracy actually reflects an opportunity.

Mobile networks in particular offer advantages to content owners, with their vast reach and the continued advancement of standards in the mobile world.

Enterprise Rights Management

Corporations need to protect sensitive information both to prevent release to external sources as well as restricting access among employees. Confidential online information must be protected and access often needs to be restricted to a defined subset of employees. SafeNet's Enterprise Rights Management solutions not only enable an administrator to control and manage access, but can register the number of employees who accessed certain content.

• DRM Enterprise is an out of the box DRM solution based on Microsoft's Windows Media DRM and enables corporate communication without adding any client software. It enables live and on-demand corporate content and applies to downloadable as well as streaming video and audio.
