Digital Rights Management (DRM) Software

Digital Rights Management

What is Digital Rights Management Software?

DRM refers to the processes, policies, and technologies that are used by organizations to control how digital content is distributed, used, and shared. The solution helps to protect intellectual property by enforcing copyright rules in the digital space. Vendors often offer DRM as a complimentary solution to their Digital Asset Management (DAM) solution although dedicated DRM software is also an option. Some vendors focus on specific file types and industries such as audio files in the music industry, and video files in the streaming industry.
