SECUDE Extends Data-centric Security Across PLM and Multi-CAD Integrations

LUCERNE, SEPTEMBER 2021:

SECUDE, a leading Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions provider based on Microsoft Azure Information Protection (AIP) today announced that its flagship product HALOCAD® extends data-centric security across PLM and Multi-CAD integrations.

1. Today, organizations face two different types of challenges:
2. The trend towards anywhere, anytime access to information has significantly changed the business environment globally. Due to changing business dynamics, the business environment is becoming borderless.
3. Acquisitions, mergers, and bifurcations happen quite often leading to challenges in the IT landscape due to the multi-CAD environment. This puts the associated data in the high-risk.
4. Clearly, the traditional wall-and-fortress security measures are rendered less effective against the rising sophisticated threats. In this fast-moving environment, detecting and monitoring what happens beyond the bounds of the fortress has become an essential security capability. There is a need for a strong security layer with Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) capabilities like Microsoft Azure as the foundation and a data-centric security solution like HALOCAD that protects the sensitive Intellectual Property data across CAD platforms.
5. SECUDE’s HALOCAD DRM now extends data-centric security across PLM and Multi-CAD integrations. It now supports the following PLM Multi-CAD integrations:
6. HALOCAD® Add-on for Siemens Teamcenter – NX Integration
7. HALOCAD® Add-on for Siemens Teamcenter – Solid Edge Integration
8. HALOCAD® Add-on for Siemens Teamcenter – SolidWorks Integration
9. HALOCAD® Add-on for Siemens Teamcenter – Creo Integration
10. HALOCAD® Add-on for SAP ECTR – AutoCAD Integration
11. HALOCAD® Add-on for SAP ECTR – Creo Integration
12. HALOCAD® Add-on for SAP ECTR – Solid Edge Integration
13. HALOCAD® Add-on for AutoDesk Vault – AutoCAD Integration
14. HALOCAD® Add-on for AutoDesk Vault – Inventor Integration
15. Key benefits of HALOCAD DRM include:
16. It leverages single-source of truth in PLM and provides a holistic encryption strategy across CAD integrations
17. Strengthens PLM multi-CAD integration with data protection using AIP
18. Supports encryption for CAD translator file types (IGES, STEP, etc) and facilitates interoperability across CAD platforms.
