RECORDS MANAGEMENT UPDATES ENABLE MORE SECURE CONTENT The entire idea of what makes a record has undergone significant transformation in light of the fact that we live in an increasingly digital society Identifi. The concept of a "record" has become more convoluted as a result of the proliferation of video and social media, as well as pervasive computing from any device, which has made its maintenance increasingly difficult. Government CIOs, CTOs, and information systems administrators are at the crossroads of the technological revolution. This is the point where the cultural change towards a digital world and the stringent needs of security and compliance often conflict with one another. The solutions that government agencies use for collaboration, business process support, and content management need to be adaptable enough to satisfy the requirements of an ever-evolving content ecosystem. It is vital to acknowledge these developments and devise a coherent strategy for addressing them in order to provide users with the access to material that they require while still meeting the structural control requirements of government information technology. At Alfresco, we are aware of the critical nature of this requirement, which is why we are especially ecstatic about the most recent version of our Records Management (RM) module, which strengthens the protection of classified material while also making it easier to administer. The new improvements to security controls include more detailed content classifications and access restrictions that are controlled by a user's security clearance. Users are only permitted to view material that is categorized no higher than their current clearance level. A person who has been granted permission to see "Secret" material, for instance, will have access to stuff that is categorized as "Secret" and "Confidential," but they will not have access to content that is classified as "Top Secret" or above. Records Management 2.4 satisfies the data cleaning criteria established by the United States government and was built with the capability of accommodating thousands of users. This degree of security and size is essential for governmental organizations, in particular the military and the intelligence community. However, it is also important for other highly-regulated businesses, such as the financial services, healthcare, energy, and transportation sectors. Because of the sensitive nature of the information kept by government agencies, executives are subjected to a barrage of laws that create a tremendous burden on the information systems that they manage. Legal requirements include measures that are intended to protect classified information as well as the privacy of individuals. On the other hand, regulatory mandates and government-wide requirements can range anywhere from directives that advocate for open-source solutions and a cloud-first approach to higher-level security standards set by the Department of Defense (DoD). In addition to all of these requirements, the federal government has mandated that all emails must be managed digitally by the end of this year, and that all agency documents must be maintained digitally by the end of 2019.
