Security Products Overview

Syntergy has worked with many organizations that have needed additional security needs than what is provided in standard Livelink. The primary requirement is for enhanced password management.  The military and other high security organizations have password requirements that are much more stringent than those implemented in Livelink. Our password module allows organizations to configure their password requirements from simple to the most complex.

Organizations have worried that there will be holes in their Livelink permission settings that will allow knowledgeable users access to mission critical information that they should not be able to view.  We developed Extranet Secure to provide an extra layer of protection to keep users from finding information by typing in random dataids in URLs or through search results. This capability is important  for both internal and external user environments.

Security Modules

These products provide additional security features over and above the core platform.

  • Extranet Secure - With Extranet Secure customers (Content Server groups) are registered to specific content areas such as a folder or project. Any attempt to access content outside the boundaries of the registered content is denied. Standard Content Server searches are limited to “From Here”, thereby reducing potential overhead.   Should permissions be inadvertently conferred outside the boundaries, Extranet Secure ensures access is denied to the content.
  • Content Sentry – It's 4:00AM and someone just downloaded 50GB from your OpenText Content Server! Do you have security in place to protect your organization? Detecting strange and unusual activity in Content Server is one of the biggest concerns for Administrators and Content Owners. With the Edward Snowden case in the forefront of anomalous activity stories, Admins must take every precaution to make sure that valuable company secrets are kept secure and away from competitors and those looking to profit from the distribution of valuable information. And with new laws such as European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), valuable information now includes private personal information such as social security numbers, employee personal data and other private personal data.
