LUCERNE, JUNE 2022: SECUDE, an established global security service provider], today announced the availability of HALOCAD for AUTODESK LIVE in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. SECUDE customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform, with streamlined deployment and management.
CAD files are the primary source of intellectual property for manufacturing companies in industries like automotive, aviation, engineering, and high tech. There is a high risk of losing this IP due to the lack of technical enforcement to protect these files whenever engineers work with or share them with suppliers.
Inside PLM systems, CAD files are protected by PLM security policies. When shared with external parties, these files required the same PLM security profile for protecting the data in uncontrolled IT environments.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the only Data-Centric Security approach based on a Zero Trust strategy that protects data everywhere. The main challenge for an efficient collaboration process is to automatically map the PLM security to the access and usage controls of the corresponding DRM protection template.
HALOCAD solves this challenge for CAD and PLM environments by automating Microsoft Purview Information Protection , the unified platform for a companywide DRM and part of M365 E5 Compliance.
HALOCAD provides unique value to customers by:
Automatically applying MIP protection labels to CAD files during check out from the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system vault
Support of multi-CAD environment and
Support of complex assembly use cases
Enabling CAD applications to open MIP-protected files and enforcing permissions inside of the applications.
Automatically decrypting CAD files at PLM check-in(CAD files in PLM are not encrypted)
Strengthens PLM multi-CAD integration with data protection using AIP
Supports encryption for CAD translator file types (IGES, STEP, etc.) and facilitates interoperability across CAD platforms
Providing a free HALOCAD® Reader plug-in for easily granting read-only permissions to collaboration partners.
