Seclore, a data-centric security solutions company, has expanded its Enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) capabilities to support neutral or interoperable computer-aided design (CAD) files. This enhancement is designed to benefit industries that create, manage, and share intellectual property (IP), especially in sectors like automotive, healthcare, aerospace, energy, and pharmaceuticals. Supporting neutral CAD files enables manufacturers to meet compliance needs with comprehensive reporting and auditing capabilities, boosting visibility and data protection across supply chains.
Seclore’s Data-Centric Security Platform offers a high level of granular security and control, addressing a gap for industries that have traditionally struggled with CAD file protection. The new EDRM features deploy effortlessly—no professional services required—and provide organizations with visibility into data usage, mitigating risks, maximizing revenue potential, and enabling secure collaboration with third and fourth parties across global locations.
In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, sharing digital assets, trade secrets, and product designs is essential, yet securing these files poses challenges. Recent reports highlight the urgency: IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 shows 43% of data breaches involve intellectual property loss, while Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates 15% of breaches originate from supply chain or third-party environments. Seclore’s EDRM for CAD files allows users to track access, print and copy activity, and manage permissions in real time, ensuring only authorized users can view or modify files.
User-Driven and Automated Protections with Enhanced Visibility
Seclore offers a balanced approach to security, combining user-driven and automated protections for CAD files. Key features include:
– One-Click Protection: Quickly apply customized security to CAD files before sharing.
– Hot Folders: Automatically protect all files within designated folders.
– Outbound Email Protection: Secure emails and attachments prior to sending.
Automated protections integrate seamlessly with existing systems, offering protections such as:
– PLM Integrations: Apply protection at the checkout or download stages.
– DLP-Driven Protections: Secure files based on discovery rules and classifications.
– ERP and File-Server Integrations: Ensure file protection during uploads and extractions.
– Collaboration Platform Integrations: Extend security to platforms like SharePoint, Box, and cloud systems.
Lucky Effendi, Head of Cybersecurity at Eugenus, emphasized the importance of secure global collaboration: “In our dispersed supply chain, protecting proprietary designs while sharing them with trusted partners worldwide is critical for our success. Seclore’s CAD file protection addresses a core need in our industry.”
Seclore CEO Vishal Gupta noted, “Seclore for CAD files is the result of collaboration with our manufacturing customers who faced regulatory challenges in sending IP across a globally dispersed supply chain. We’re proud to offer security at the file level without sacrificing productivity.”
In today’s high-stakes, regulated global manufacturing environment, protecting IP is a top priority. Seclore’s EDRM for neutral CAD files provides a new level of protection, ensuring secure data sharing and visibility across all stages of the file lifecycle.
