EMS Part 2 of 3 Part Series - Azure RMS
In episode 20  (http://thedevicepros.com/ems-azure-rms-part-2)Frank and Alfred take a deep dive into EMS Azure RMS. One of three things that comes with the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite.  In the next episode The Device Pros (http://thedevicepros.com)will cover the final component of EMS, Microsoft Intune.

* Information protection from the cloud or in a hybrid model with your existing on-premises infrastructure
* Integration into your native applications with an easy-to-use SDK

What is Azure Rights Management (RMS)?
Almost every organization is Internet-connected these days, with users bringing personal device to work, accessing company data on the road and home, and sharing sensitive information with important business partners. As part of their daily work, users share information by using email, file-sharing sites, and cloud services. In these scenarios, traditional security controls (such as access control lists and NTFS permissions) and firewalls have limited effectiveness if you want to protect your company data while still empowering your users to work efficiently.

In comparison, Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS) can protect your company’s sensitive information in all these scenarios. It uses encryption, identity, and authorization policies to help secure your files and email, and it works across multiple devices—phones, tablets, and PCs. Information can be protected both within your organization and outside your organization because that protection remains with the data, even when it leaves your organization’s boundaries. As an example, employees might email a document to a partner company, or they save a document to their cloud drive. The persistent protection that Azure RMS provides not only helps to secure your company data, but might also be legally mandated for compliance, legal discovery requirements, or simply good information management practices.

But very importantly, authorized people and services (such as search and indexing) can continue to read and inspect the data that Azure RMS protects, which is not easily accomplished with other information protection solutions that use peer-to-peer encryption. This ability is sometimes referred to as “reasoning over data” and is a crucial element in maintaining control of your organization’s data.
What do I need to deploy Azure RMS and how do I get going?
First, check Requirements for Azure Rights Management (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn655136.aspx), which has information about the cloud subscription options, how you can use your on-premises servers with Azure RMS, which deployment scenarios are not currently supported, which devices and applications support Azure RMS, and a link if you need a list of IP addresses and domain names for firewalls or proxy servers.
