Content security in the Packages app
In addition to secure access controls, protecting content directly ensures that digital assets retain their value even as Aspera on Cloud users collaborate to develop, exchange, and deliver content. This article collects and describes configuration options that administrators can set in the Packages app to protect content assets.
Admin controls
Global: Admin > Applications > Packages
Workspace: Admin > Workspaces > workspaceName > Applications > Packages
- Prevent app users from requesting packages from non-workspace members: Who can send submission links
- Prevent app users from sending packages to non-workspace members: Who can send packages to external users
- Require non-workspace recipients to create an account and log in to receive a package: Require external users to log in when receiving packages
- Prevent accidental sending to the entire workspace: Who can send packages to the entire workspace
- Require encryption at rest for all send packages: Automatically apply encryption at rest to all packages
Global: Integrations > Watermarking
- If you integrate your Irdeto forensic watermarking service with Aspera on Cloud, you can allow or require workspace members of the Packages app to apply a watermark to all packages they send.
User controls
As an admin, you can establish workflows that guide your workspace members how to use these additional content security measures:
- Require package recipients to apply a password
- Apply watermarking when sending a package
