Don’t let unprotected images cause you to lose your competitive edge.

A manufacturing company creates the cover design and packaging for a large toy manufacturer. The image and design files, like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, get shared back and forth by email without adequate protection, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access and potential compromise. There is no approval process for sharing files, which creates an environment where important and sensitive documents are shared without proper authorization. Users have no control over externally shared files, leaving the company unable to manage or monitor access to these files. This poses a significant risk to the company’s bottom line if competitors use the drawings to make knock-off products.

Fasoo Enterprise DRM automatically encrypts and applies persistent protection policies to all types of image files, such as .png, jpg, .psd, and .ai, 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 client tries to share the file with other external users, they won’t have access since they are not authorized users. This ensures the sensitive data remains secure, no matter its location.
