MANUFACTURING
Stop IP theft. Protect designs, formulas, business processes, costing, source code and more. Choose the solution rated #1 for IP protection by Gartner.
HERE'S THE CHALLENGE
All manufacturers must have a strategy in place to ensure the free flow of information across their supply chains, while safeguarding that information from industrial espionage, nation state adversaries and malicious insiders. Manufacturers are also under pressure to meet increasingly stringent export requirements such as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
The most valuable IP for manufacturers is usually unstructured data, such as CAD files, source code, and formulas. The problem is, most data loss prevention solutions aren’t very good at protecting or even recognizing this unstructured data.
HERE'S THE SOLUTION
Global manufacturing firms – including 7 of the top 10 auto manufacturers in the world - trust Digital Guardian to stop IP theft regardless of the data format - enabling them to share data securely across their supply chain.
Digital Guardian’s threat aware data protection platform provides the deepest visibility, real-time analytics and flexible controls to protect structured and unstructured sensitive data against insider and outsider threats.
Our platform secures sensitive data wherever it lives and wherever it is shared – across networks, storage, endpoints or in the cloud – performing equally across Windows, Apple or Linux operating environments.
MANUFACTURING BENEFITS

Trade Secret Protection & Forensics for F1 Racing
This F1 racing team uses Digital Guardian to prevent critical racing data and other IP from falling into the hands of its competitors. Our technology protects highly differentiated information, from the optimized gas mixture in its racing tires to real-time track telemetry and next-generation engine designs. Digital Guardian proved its ROI after user activity logs helped prove the guilt of a privileged insider caught attempting to steal IP for a competing racing team. Our identity-based event forensics directly resulted in the team receiving $100 million in restitution from the competitor.
