Strategic value and drivers behind organizational adoption of enterprise DRM: The korean case

Abstract

In the context of now prevalent Extended Virtual Enterprises and our information and knowledge based economies, Enterprise DRM (EDRM) has become an important technical means to address many security issues ranging from simple persistent content protection to more complex dynamic governed usage pattern monitoring. Information is a strategic resource requiring prudent management. Therefore, a better understanding of the strategic value and major drivers behind organizational adoption of EDRM is needed. This paper presents a case study carried out with three large Korean companies. While our initial assumptions led us to hypothesize that compliance management and regulatory frameworks would rank the highest among the drivers for organizational adoption of EDRM, our study found that Knowledge Management (KM) appears to be a leading driver. We also identified Inter-Organizational structure as an increasingly prevalent factor in the adoption of EDRM.

Exploring the role of intrinsic motivation in ISSP compliance: enterprise digital rights management system case

“…The role of EDRM is to protect organizational data through file encryption, permission control and audit trail technologies. Because of its persistent information asset protection, EDRM systems have become an important tool for securing information assets in the enterprise sector (Morin and Hovav, 2012). EDRM has traditionally employed a control-based ISSP, which contains a set of predetermined rules and permissions; furthermore, EDRM systems are governed by a system administrator.…”

Towards Cloud Computing SLA Risk Management: Issues and Challenges

“…The combination of this approach with DRM [17] technologies in the context of SLA and ISSRM is a challenging opportunity for enhancing operational GRC in cloud computing. Moreover, as suggested in [18], compliance might be factored in by sound rights managed infrastructures. The case for inter-organizational structures (IOS) is raised as a potential adoption factor, which could be considered by analogy in environments based on cloud computing.…”
