Seclore expands data-centric security to protect CAD files across manufacturing sectors

Airtel’s Nxtra to set up two data centres in Maharashtra

Seclore has expanded its Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) capabilities to support neutral or interoperable computer-aided design (CAD) files for industries that create, manage, and share intellectual property (IP). This new capability provides better visibility for manufacturers with compliance reporting and auditing needs. The Seclore Data-Centric Security Platform offers granular security and control for industries like automotive, healthcare, aerospace, energy, pharmaceutical, and others, which have historically lacked adequate data protections for CAD files.

In today’s competitive manufacturing industries, sharing digital assets, trade secrets, and product designs is a reality of doing business. Securing these files is a challenge, as nearly half (43 per cent) of all breaches involve the loss of intellectual property. Seclore EDRM for neutral CAD files allows users to track who, what, when, and where protected files are accessed along with complete activity history via the Risk Insights dashboard.

Users can easily apply dynamic watermarks to neutral CAD files to discourage leaks and support investigations. Seclore can also track activities (like printing or copying files) for protected files, and limit access based on user attributes (like location, or email address). Access to protected CAD files can be instantly revoked when access is no longer needed or if it is necessary, because a file ended up in the wrong hands.

Seclore enables productivity and security to co-exist with a streamlined experience that makes it easy for owners of CAD files to apply persistent encryption and visibility to the neutral CAD files they need to share. Protected files can be accessed with most popular CAD applications. User-driven protections include one-click Protection, Hot Folders, Outbound Email Protection, PLM Integrations, DLP-driven Protections, ERP System Integrations, File-server Integrations, and Collaboration platform integrations.

In today’s competitive HVAC industry, protecting digital assets while collaborating with third parties is vital to their success. Seclore’s EDRM for CAD files allows them to confidently share proprietary designs, knowing they are protected at all times. Penalties for global regulations have reinforced security as a top priority for organisations operating across borders today.
