Still sharing documents via email or messenger?
When collaborating with partners or 3rd party projects, many companies still rely on typical ways
such as emails & messengers for sharing important data/documents.
Fact is that not only are such methods vulnerable & exposed to unexpected threats, but also create unnecessary inefficiencies:
· Almost impossible to keep track of recipients and their actual usage afterwards
· Difficulties in tracking the latest version with frequent revisions & sharings
· Unclear accountability without user-specific activity logs
As a result, protecting corporate intellectual property and enabling smooth collaboration both become extremely challenging.
What are the alternatives? Find out what Cyberdigm’s VDR (hereinafter “C-VDR”) can provide.
What is VDR (Virtual Data Room)?
A VDR is a dedicated on-line virtual folder space designed to enable enterprises to share/ collaborate internal documents with external users while maintaining optimal protection.
C-VDR overcame the limits of traditional cloud storage, common VDRs, and DRM-based file sharing by combining collaboration convenience with enterprise-grade protection.
· External parties/users who receive shared folders can access files through web browsers or installed agents depending on their assigned permissionss
(i.e. view-only, view & edit, etc.).
· Once the designated usage period expires, external access is automatically blocked—enabling controlled and time-bound collaboration.
VDR: Virtual Data Room, a virtual workspace for storing and sharing documents from enterprise to enterprise
How C-VDR differentiates from other external sharing methods?
C-VDR goes beyond traditional solutions by combining collaboration tools with advanced protection controls (DRM),
ensuring both user-convenience and full oversight.
