Prevent an employee from sharing sensitive data accidentally
Manufacturing companies use multiple suppliers to ensure a steady flow of quality components. Pricing and delivery times affect the suppliers a manufacturer may select. Competition between suppliers can get fierce.
A sales person at an OEM parts supplier receives an email from someone they think is a co-worker asking for a price list they misplaced. The sales person sends the file, later realizing that it was not a co-worker but someone phishing. The company later learns that the phishing was on behalf of a competitor who now has its price list.
The parts supplier implements Fasoo Enterprise DRM which automatically protects and controls access to the price list and other sensitive files. If someone sends a protected file to an unauthorized user, accidentally or not, the recipient will not be able to access the information. This protects the price list from getting into the hands of the supplier’s competitors and protects the supplier’s business with its customers. The supplier’s sales person could share the protected price list with an external user, but restrict access to specific people and limit the time the price list is valid.
