Seclore FileSecure for AutoCAD

SecloreFileSecure:
Protect your AutoCAD files against misuse and theft

The Problem:

Today Engineering and Manufacturing companies constantly exchange intellectual property (IP) in the form of AutoCAD design documents.
Designs are exchanged not only between different collaborating groups within the organization but also with outsiders like sub-contractors and vendors. Due to the global nature of business, the threat of these design drawings getting leaked to competitors has been constantly increasing over time.
Once information is shared, there is no control on where and how the information will flow further. Recipient of information may share it with others (competitors) or host it on a public portal (e.g. wikileaks) causing, either Revenue or Reputation loss.
The Problem

Some examples of Data Leakage
Firewalls
Competitors
COMPETITOR
Case 1: Information shared with customer / vendor is lost unintentionally or intentionally leaked by an insider to competitor.
Case 2: Employee joining competitor.
SUB-CONTRACTOR
Enterprise

The Solution:

The Typical Approach
A typical approach most organizations follow is to restrict collaboration methods…
Blocking devices like USB, CD-ROM and tools like internet, emails, etc.
This approach increase SECURITY, But at the cost of COLLABORATION !!

Better Approach: IRM
IRM allows enterprises to achieve the "mutually conflicting" goals of SECURITY and COLLABORATION by not restricting collaboration and preventing the receiver from performing any unauthorized activities on information by applying “usage policies” on design drawings
With IRM, the design drawings can be controlled granularly for usage actions like view, edit, print, etc.
Designs can also be controlled based on time and remotely destroyed at the end of the collaboration activity

The Solution
The “Usage policies” that can be defined are-
WHO can use the information
People & groups within and outside of the organization can be defined as rightful users of the information
WHAT can each person do
Individual actions like reading, editing, printing, distributing, copy-pasting, screen grabbing etc. can be controlled
WHEN can he use it
Information usage can be time based e.g. can only be used by Mr. A till 28th Sept OR only for the 2 days
WHERE can he use it from
Information can be linked to locations e.g. only 3rd floor office by private/public IP addresses

Some Screen Shots:

1. Protecting an AutoCAD design document

Protection – defining usage policy on document

Policy is defined as-
a. WHO - people / groups within or outside

d. WHERE - Specific computers, specific networks, only from the office, …

The downloaded file is automatically protected with the policy of the “Hot Folder”. Notice the “red” lock

2. Opening an AutoCAD design document

When the user opens the file, he gets to see the rights that he has on the document

Some Business Scenarios:

Business Case - 1
Do you have confidential CAD drawings which only a specific employee group, while in employment, should use?
Seclore FileSecure protects information from leakage due to malicious intent, errors and omissions, as well as lack of awareness, by providing a persistent, information-locked method of protection.
This means that confidential/IP information remains confidential post distribution.
CAD drawings, formulation sheets, process documents and MIS reports are just some examples of information which are best used only within the walls of the enterprise
Malicious intent, errors and omissions and lack of awareness could make this information publicly available leading to
potential losses.

Business Case - 2
Do you frequently establish temporary / project-based relationships with manufactures & contractors?
Seclore FileSecure enables you to “retract” project files shared with business partners after a specified period, thus protecting intellectual property and driving revenues.
This means that collaboration with partners can now become open and free.
Temporary relationships with manufacturers & contractors for a specific project typically leads to extensive information sharing during the execution.
After the project ends, the drawings & intellectual property shared continues to be retained and used by the partner, sometimes against the enterprise, leading to financial losses.

Business Case - 3
Do you send sensitive CAD designs to manufacturers to execute a business process?
Seclore FileSecure enables you to control the usage of information sent to vendors and prevent unauthorized viewing, printing, editing and distributing of the information.
Information can also be remotely made unusable in case the relationship ends.
Typically confidential information sent to manufacturers is governed by non disclosure agreements without a mechanism to enforce or track the agreement. Therefore you are dependent on the vendors' systems and processes for the confidentiality of your critical information.
Loss of information from the vendor could lead to reputation and legal risks for your enterprise.
