OmniTrust Security Systems' OmniTrust Protected Browser gets good marks overall for its ability to provide stringent digital rights management (DRM)-type protection for Web pages and can be swiftly deployed at any company for $25 and up per seat. However, Protected Browser has many limitations, especially for configuration, which will limit its markets. Testers praise OmniTrust Protected Browser for easy deployment to Web services servers and clients; and for strict controls that limit Web content to view-only. However, no vital user tracking statistics are provided, and OmniTrust Protected Browser works only with Internet Explorer (IE) on Windows. A suitable use for OmniTrust Protected Browser is in situations where private content is delivered through dynamic Web pages to low-level staff, including phone-based order acceptance. However, it cannot track who has viewed which content, which is a feature in most DRM products and one that is crucial to regulatory compliance. OmniTrust's Trustee for Portals product has protection not unlike those of Protected Browser, in addition to auditing abilities and included management choices, say company officials. Protected Browser is easily deployed throughout a company and installs as a server plug-in to Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) Web server and to Apache.
