Many websites use a Content Management System (CMS) to publish documents, videos, audio files, and other digital content.
A CMS makes content easy to manage.
But there is one problem.
Once visitors download a file, most CMS platforms cannot control what happens next. Files can be copied, shared, printed, or uploaded to other websites.
VeryDRM Content Security Platform helps solve this problem. It protects documents, videos, audio files, eBooks, images, and other digital content even after they are downloaded.
This article explains how VeryDRM works with Drupal, Joomla, TYPO3, Umbraco, Kentico, Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, Contentful, Strapi, and many other CMS platforms.

Examples include:
