CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files are used to develop three-dimensional (3D) solid models. These are the primary source of intellectual property for manufacturing companies and industries like automotive, aviation, engineering, and high tech. These industries provide cutting-edge products while leveraging intellectual property in global process chains with a high degree of production or suppliers.
While it is important to have network security, data security is the main concern for these industries. Why? Because the stolen CAD files can be used to print components in the same quality as the original component.
Also, there is a high risk of losing this IP due to the lack of technical enforcement to offer CAD data protection to these files whenever engineers work with or share them with suppliers. Therefore, the second line of defense in data security is necessary because if data security is compromised and CAD files are stolen it results in greater implications.
Listed below are the customer challenges and needs:
Inside PLM systems, CAD files are protected by PLM security policies. But when shared with external parties, these files require the same PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) security profile for protecting the data in such uncontrolled IT environments.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a layer of security features embedded in the product design itself so that these files if stolen cannot be easily printed.
The main challenge for an efficient collaboration process is to automatically map the PLM security to the access and usage controls of the corresponding DRM protection template.
Data-Centric Security is the most advanced strategy and mandatory extension to the existing perimeter security for protecting IP, PII, and other sensitive data end-to-end in those digital collaboration processes.
Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MPIP) is the only EDRM platform with the broadest coverage. Secude’s HaloCAD for Autodesk automatically extends MPIP and enables uniquely straightforward starting EDRM use cases.
HaloCAD provides unique value to customers by:
