ARALOC Use Case Overview
The Use Cases below highlight several reasons why you should start using ARALOC™ in your business today!
Many companies, content publishers or content creators think they have satisfactory measures in place for protecting their intellectual property and confidential content through server security access. The reality however, is that most companies and content publishers have no idea where their intellectual property and content materials are really going and who is viewing their content.
It has been estimated that up to one-third of US companies have admitted losing sensitive confidential content and data in the past 12 months, while another 11 per cent were 'unsure' whether a content breach had occurred. Research conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group noted that intellectual property protection goes beyond securing private records and data. Fear of intellectual property and confidential content theft has become such a priority that 90 per cent of companies plan to deploy new technologies to secure their information in the next 12 months.
Now all organizations including small and medium sized businesses have the same concerns of large global organizations regarding protecting their confidential or proprietary content against unauthorized usage and viewing.
Web & Audio Conference Ancillary Content
Many web based meetings and audio calls entail the distribution of confidential ancillary documents such as company financials, strategic plans, confidential and legal documents. While these documents are often distributed under an NDA, the truth is that they are “published” forever and you no longer have any control over them.
With ARALOC™, content is distributed to all conferencing participants with only those viewing rights you define and it can be “Expired” at any time with a simple click.
ARALOC™ will enable the conference organizer to distribute, these ancillary content materials in encrypted form to any meeting participant, retain control over their use, track content viewing and “expire” the content when necessary. The conferencing meeting sponsor can now apply a high level of content security encryption and control to their meeting materials through our ARALOC™ application.
Confidential Content Encryption, Security & Control
Companies of all sizes along with business professionals such as lawyers, accountants and financial consultants are continually developing and distributing Confidential or Proprietary Content to their various colleagues, clients, partners and stakeholders. Once published, this content can take on a life of its own. Often, events or changes occur which may cause this content to be viewed in a different context. As an ARALOC subscriber you can track all viewing of your content and expire it, or expire individual viewing rights at any time. Your confidential content can be in varied file formats from MS Office files to rich media and video formats. ARALOC provides any user worried about protecting their sensitive, confidential materials with our 256 bit AES encryption technology the highest level encryption allowed by the US government.
Sensitive content exposed to non-approved viewers can subject the organization to unnecessary risk. Organizations can mitigate this risk by integrating rights management technologies. ARALOC™ delivers that content security and control.

User Generated Content – Web 2.0 Community Members
Individuals are generating and publishing more video content than ever before and there is no sign of slowdown. According to a recent Kansas State University study, there was an estimated 200,000 new videos published everyday during March of 2008 on YouTube alone. The number of U.S. video viewers is expected to surge to 157 million in 2010, from 107.7 million in 2006, according to the consulting firm, eMarketer.
There is an unmet need for content publishers to, in some cases, restrict video access to their content to an “invitation only” or “by subscription” viewer population.
ARALOC provides any video creator or web content publisher the ability to publish your rich media content in a highly secure, encrypted format when you need to control the access and permissions rights of your content.

CD/DVD & Flash Drive Duplication
