Secure Sensitive Design Files from Exiting Employees

Prevent a disgruntled employee from taking design files to a competitor

Secure CAD files from exiting employees

Challenges

  • An engineer at a manufacturing company is not happy with her job and starts looking for a position with competitors. She shows potential employers product designs as an incentive to hire her. A competitor hires her and she takes all her CAD files from existing products and ones yet to come on the market to the new employer. The new company starts manufacturing the products shortly after hiring her. Her old employer sees their products coming on the market before they release them and realizes that the former employee stole the designs.

Solutions

  • Fasoo Enterprise DRM automatically encrypts and applies protection policies to CAD and other sensitive files when saved. When an authorized user exports a design file to another format, like a PDF, the derivative file is automatically encrypted and only accessible by authorized users. When the engineer copied the file to an external storage device, a cloud location, or sent it to herself through email, she and her new employee would not be able to access the file. This ensures the sensitive data remains inside the company. Fasoo protects the company’s designs and patent information by encrypting and applying persistent encryption policies to protect them regardless of where they are or their format.
