Just consider this: producing a single marketing video can cost upwards of $4,000, while designing a PDF brochure may run around $400, and curating a collection of professional images could set a company back $200 or more. These are just a few examples, and the costs can vary depending on project complexity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means companies must always strive to ensure the safety of their digital assets. However, it may not be easy to secure these assets without a robust digital asset management system. If handled manually, the assets may be lost or manipulated because of mismanagement. The bad news is that anyone can mismanage digital assets regardless of their years of experience.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why companies invest in Digital Asset Management (DAM) solutions. The tools provide a firm backbone for a system of managing and sharing assets securely. However, not everyone knows how DAM facilitates the easy and secure sharing of digital assets.

Hackers or even unintended recipients could gain access and misuse them, damaging your brand reputation.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Loss or damage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Physical media like pen drives can be misplaced or damaged, leading to permanent loss. Unsaved edits or overwritten files on shared folders can also cause problems.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Copyright infringement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Uncontrolled sharing can lead to third parties&#8217; unauthorized use, resulting in copyright infringement issues and potential financial losses.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Version control:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sharing uncontrolled copies of resources\u00a0can lead to version control issues. Imagine an outdated product image used in a marketing campaign \u2013 a surefire way to confuse your audience.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing digital files via insecure avenues has severe consequences when it takes a wrong turn. For example, if you share the master video file of a product demo through a shared cloud drive (such as Dropbox or Google Drive) and an unauthorized team member, say an intern, accidentally deletes it, you will have to engage a videographer for a new shoot. This is an expensive mistake.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, the uncontrolled sharing creates consistency issues. This leads to confusion among your target audience, reduced engagement, and, ultimately, lower marketing campaign performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital asset management (DAM) systems exist to remedy this challenge. They allow brands to control access, monitor usage, and maintain asset integrity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand how DAM software secures digital files, especially when sharing them, we first must know how the tool works.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99627a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"99627a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-single-source-of-truth-digital-asset-management-3.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18990\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-single-source-of-truth-digital-asset-management-3.png 604w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-single-source-of-truth-digital-asset-management-3-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99aee35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"99aee35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b07956c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b07956c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc4\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Basics of Digital Asset Management Systems (DAM)<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-92f83a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"92f83a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is a DAM system?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-342e076 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"342e076\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc5\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A digital asset management system is a set of elements that work together to manage and distribute digital files. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/digital-asset-management\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAM software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an integral part of this system. This tool centralizes storing, organizing, and managing media files related to products and the brand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DAM tool collects and stores creative files from various sources in a central hub. Companies can accomplish much within the repository, including editing, resizing images, and adding metadata to enrich them. Some robust solutions, like Catsy\u2019s DAM, connect with platforms like Adobe InDesign via an add-in, allowing users to create high-quality graphics and store them in the DAM tool\u2019s repository.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, a DAM solution is like a vault that secures your company\u2019s digital files\u2013 photos, videos, documents, and more \u2013 making it easy to find them, share, and protect those important files.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bf6e784 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5bf6e784\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc6\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Core features of a DAM solution<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48f9c219 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48f9c219\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc7\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several features allow DAM software to provide the utility that users expect.

Even better, the latter allows administrators to set granular access permissions for users. This allows multiple users to access the vault but only view authorized assets. Administrators can also use this feature to determine which individuals can edit or download specific resources.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Version control:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> DAM platforms track the state of each file. This generates and stores historical data about changes made. This is a feature you cannot get in spreadsheets. It enforces responsibility among creative team members, prevents unauthorized modifications, and ensures that everyone works with the most up-to-date files.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advanced search and organization:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Features like faceted search and categorization allow users to find and share the right digital files quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Integration with other tools:<\/b> Most robust DAM solutions have pre-built connectors to other platforms, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\">product information management (PIM)<\/a>, digital marketplaces, e-commerce platforms, and digital catalogs. However, others, like Catsy\u2019s DAM, go above and beyond. The platform is integrated with a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/product-information-management-system\" target=\"_blank\">product content management software<\/a>, so you don\u2019t have to worry about connecting the two when mapping digital assets to related product information.

This feature is immensely powerful, especially regarding securely sharing hundreds of files\u2013 it deserves a detailed evaluation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/brand-portals\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brand portal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an extension of the DAM solution. It is a specialized and customizable storage area within the DAM tool that allows stakeholders to self-serve digital\u00a0<\/span>resources<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means internal teams and external partners, such as distributors, can access them on their own time and export to desired formats. They do not have to engage a middle party for permission.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, you\u2019d have to share them with individuals and partners using emails and shared folders. As you can imagine, this process is time-consuming and vulnerable to errors. Also, it exerts pressure on the brand regarding the workforce needed to be available whenever a request for\u00a0<\/span>resources\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comes in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing them via the brand portal is the ultimate security mechanism. The tool provides granular access permissions; you can specify exactly which sets of assets specific individuals or groups can see and export.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also decide how much you want to share with specific users of your brand portal. For example, you can do so if you have a new product coming out and would like to start sharing them with your sales team. In the same breath, you can keep the products hidden from outside partners who shouldn\u2019t be in on the secret just yet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the sake of brevity, think of a brand portal as a secure gateway into your DAM system. It allows you to distribute them to the right people in the proper format without lifting a finger, all while maintaining control and oversight.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77c6389 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"77c6389\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-brandportal-private-2-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18995\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-brandportal-private-2-1.png 685w, https:\/\/catsy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pim-dam-brandportal-private-2-1-300x248.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1d2381 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f1d2381\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26a08f34 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26a08f34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"toc8\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Elements of Sharing Digital Assets in Digital Asset Management Software<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa5147c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa5147c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve already established that a DAM solution does more than store your digital assets.

The security layer keeps your assets safe when transferred from the DAM platform. It is akin to scrambling them into a code that can only be deciphered with the correct key.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most robust DAM software can encrypt\u00a0<\/span>resources<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and related metadata at rest and in transit. For example, Catsy\u2019s DAM uses AES-256, an industry-standard encryption method, to protect the files stored in the repository. This scrambles them so that even if a bad actor gains unauthorized access to the database, they can\u2019t read the files without a decryption key.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform also secures the assets when in transit. When you export them via the brand portal, Catsy\u2019s DAM secures the connection using robust protocols like HTTPS or Transport Layer Security (TLS). This prevents bad actors from intercepting them while in transit.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encryption goes hand-in-hand with access control. Even if someone somehow gains unauthorized access, complex encryption still protects them, making them practically useless to the intruder.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01bdc98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"01bdc98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

They prevent the need for companies to open their backend systems to outsiders.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can control access to each brand portal and tailor the available assets to the partner\u2019s needs. These partners could be distributors, media partners, agencies, and more.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if that is not enough, some robust DAM solutions, like Catsy\u2019s DAM, offer a feature called<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/experienceleague.adobe.com\/en\/docs\/experience-manager-65\/content\/assets\/managing\/light-box\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lightboxes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A lightbox is a curated digital asset collection that meets a user&#8217;s needs. For example, a media partner\u2019s lightbox may contain press releases and media kits.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also called &#8220;share collections,&#8221; lightboxes provide a convenient and secure way to share curated sets of digital\u00a0<\/span>resources\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with external parties. They allow users to create temporary, shareable collections of assets without the need for external parties to have direct access to the DAM system or brand portal.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d66bd35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d66bd35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Embedding assets<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e36d196 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e36d196\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the brand portal and lightboxes, you can share assets via embedding. Typically, this technique helps when you want to include digital assets within websites, emails, and other content platforms. DAM platforms streamline this process while upholding your security standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, most DAM software generates embeddable code snippets for individual files (images, videos, and sometimes even documents). Paste this code into your website&#8217;s content management system to display it seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This asset-sharing technique maintains security in three ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, the embedding code doesn&#8217;t give direct download access. Instead, it remains stored in the secure repository of the digital asset management platform. This is called dynamic embedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second security mechanism is through version control assurance. If you update the asset within the DAM, the embedded version automatically reflects the change everywhere you&#8217;ve used the code.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thirdly, you can enforce security controls via the embedded code. You can even restrict public viewability if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAM platforms make embedding assets a simple yet controlled process. It extends the reach of your content and enhances the user experience on your website and in marketing materials, all while maintaining the security of your valuable assets.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5afc38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d5afc38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-197bc6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"197bc6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAM solutions are popular for enforcing consistency and accuracy of product and brand assets.
