HAN in the publishing house
Advantages of using HAN as a management system directly in the publishing house.
How are my online resources protected against misuse?
To avoid financial loss, it is essential for content providers to protect their own online resources from misuse. HAN therefore incorporates a range of features designed to meet content providers’ security needs when delivering online resources. For example, transfer control enables online resources to be protected against misuse. This is achieved through close monitoring of the volume of data transferred between the content provider and the end user. Access by individual end users can be automatically blocked for a defined period as soon as they exceed the data volumes permitted in the licence agreement.
The HAN administrator receives an immediate automatic notification of any blocks. They check whether or not misuse has occurred. In the specific case where no misuse has taken place, they can manually lift the block via the HAN client.
Another important feature of HAN is the ability to set crawler protection to prevent unauthorized access to online resources and misuse of licenses. This special crawler protection ensures protection against access via piracy platforms (e.g. Sci-Hub) or the unauthorized, systematic downloading of content.
