A security expert with more than 15 years of experience, Arbel has seen a significant shift with regard to software digital rights management (DRM) — it has evolved from simple piracy and IP theft prevention to become a business-enabling tool that provides software publishers with a competitive edge, the ability to increase sales, and accelerate business growth.

• More quickly respond to changing market conditions and customer buying preferences while avoiding costly R&D cycles
• Seize opportunities to gain competitive advantage
• Maximize flexibility in packaging, pricing, and positioning their products
• Enter new markets and increase penetration into existing markets
• Increase organizational efficiencies
