Today, Xerox announced the release of new technology that automates the process of removing confidential information (i.e. redacting) from documents. Known as Intelligent Redaction, this functionality represents a new component to content security.
Today, serendipitously, AIIM Market Intelligence released it Market IQ on Content Security (download report). In this report we discuss the challenges enterprises face, given the growing volume of digital content, the ease of sharing digital content and the growing need to secure/meet compliance initiatives. Many point technologies are reviewed in this report. Content Security in our definition is not a single technology, but an ecosystem that manages and protects content in context, from cradle to grave. Intelligent Redaction is not specifically overviewed in the report, for obvious reasons, but represents a new offering under the functionality of data leak protection, which is highlighted and positioned in the Market IQ report. Intelligent Redaction includes detection software that uses content analysis to protect sensitive information on demand, in context. It can encrypt only sensitive sections or paragraphs of a document.
Intelligent Redaction represents a growing family of technologies that are designed to support online collaboration and sharing of content, while not putting the content owners at risk. This is the value statement of Content Security.
