LMS Security: Protecting training course material from sharing

There are no passwords or codes for users to enter so they cannot be shared.  Keys are transparently and securely transferred to authorized devices and locked to those devices.

Users cannot therefore share access information, and therefore your sensitive training courses with others.

Full control over training course distribution:

• Protect training courses on your local computer – no uploading of unprotected files to a server.  You therefore retain full control over sensitive training material and ensure it can never be exposed to the wrong people.
• Distribute secure training courses just like any other file – upload them to your LMS, a cloud server, your web site, send by email or distribute on CD, USB, etc.

Training courses are protected with encryption and DRM controls so they remain secure outside of your LMS system regardless of where they are located.  This enables you to securely share training courses with third parties without them having to log in to your LMS.

DRM controls ensure training courses & training course content cannot be copied or shared – you retain full control over access and use at all times.

• Stop screen grabbing – stops users taking high quality screen grabs using screen grabbing tools
• Stop printing (or limit the number of prints).  If printing is allowed then we automatically prevent printing to file drivers (e.g. PDF files)
• Expire training courses after a number of days use, views, prints, or on a fixed date
• Revoke training courses and/or user access instantly regardless of where they are located
• Allow offline use – no forcing of users to be online to view protected training courses

Control the devices and locations your protected training courses can be accessed from.

• Automatically locks use to authorized devices to prevent sharing.
• Control the number of devices for each user that your protected courses can be used on.
• Lock use to locations to control where your protected courses can be used from (e.g. office only).  This enables you to easily control BYOD use since courses on a mobile device will be available for use in the office but not when taken home.
• Lock use to countries to prevent training course content being made available in certain worldwide regions.

Add dynamic watermarks to viewed and/or printed content.  Dynamic variables are replaced by user data at print/view time.

You only have to protect a training course once for all users rather than having to protect training courses individually for each user in order to display unique user information (name, email, etc.) that identifies the user.

Track how your training courses are being used.

• See what users are opening them and when
• See where they are being used and how often they are being viewed
• Track print usage – how often they are printed, when and where
• Track use regardless of where they are stored or who they are sent to

Training courses can be published securely in advance on USB devices (courses are locked to the USB device) along with a Viewer and keystore.

You can grant access to all or individual courses at any stage depending on your requirements.  This enables you to publish whole volumes of training courses on a USB stick but only give access to certain courses to specific users as appropriate.

Our LMS security software is simple to use – secure training courses by right clicking on them in Windows Explorer.

Add protected training courses to your existing LMS just like any other file.
