AnySecura 5-Layer Shiel: Safeguard EV Tech Secrets from Lab to Supply Chain
The new energy vehicle (NEV) market is rapidly expanding, with dozens of car brands competing side by side, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Every brand is accelerating its progress, and core technology undoubtedly serves as a powerful engine driving the sustainable advancement of the NEV industry.
However, the lure of profits tempts some enterprises to resort to unscrupulous means to steal competitors’ core technologies, causing many innovative companies to lose their hard-earned achievements. Moreover, as companies grow, their massive business data becomes a vital asset whose security must not be overlooked.
Risks Faced by NEV Companies in R&D and Manufacturing
Blueprint/Document Risks: Important files such as design blueprints, simulation files, and 3D models generated at endpoints are stored in plaintext without protection. Once targeted by malicious actors, leaks become highly likely.
Internal Circulation Risks: From product design to output, multiple departments such as design, process, and technology collaborate intensively. Core data frequently circulates internally, where even minor lapses can cause leaks.
PLM/PDM Risks: Large volumes of design blueprints and technical documents stored in PLM/PDM systems lack effective security. Anyone with account credentials can freely download files, posing major security risks.
Travel/Home Office Risks: Employees sometimes copy blueprints to home computers for overtime work, stepping outside the company’s secure environment and compromising file safety.
External Transmission Risks: Confidential blueprints or technical data containing core content are often sent to suppliers, partners, or clients in plaintext. Improper use of such materials could lead to serious consequences.
AnySecura Helps NEV Companies Safeguard Innovative Technologies
Facing various leakage risks, NEV companies have growing demands for information leak prevention. As a provider of comprehensive endpoint security management solutions, AnySecura is currently assisting many well-known enterprises in the NEV supply chain to build strong information protection defenses, deploying leak prevention at every stage of confidential information storage, circulation, and usage, ensuring data security both inside and outside the enterprise.
1. Document Encryption — Precisely Protecting Core Data
AnySecura’s document encryption helps deploy encryption of varying strengths across departments like R&D, quality inspection, and production assembly according to sensitivity levels. Every core file receives tailored protection, such as enforced encryption for design blueprints and simulation files in the R&D department; highly sensitive data is strictly controlled and only shared within limited scopes.
2. Security Gateway — Fortifying Server Data Protection
AnySecura’s security gateway strictly controls which computers and processes access servers, blocking unauthorized personnel to ensure the security of PLM, PDM, and other server data. Combined with document encryption, files downloaded from servers are encrypted automatically, safeguarding server data even if documents are externally transmitted.
3. Mitigating Travel/Home Office Leakage Risks
Employees traveling or working from home can apply for offline access on company laptops, allowing normal use of encrypted files outside the company network. Employees carrying encrypted blueprints or documents can request USB encryption clients from the security office or supervisors. Various options such as temporary or long-term offline solutions ensure secure remote work.
4. Strict Control over External Document Transmission
AnySecura can package documents into special external files with strict permission controls. Multiple layers such as approval workflows, designated viewers, and expiration deletion ensure that externally shared files remain safe and manageable.
5. Regulated Use of External Devices
Whether USB drives, CD burning, mobile smart devices, or communication interfaces, AnySecura helps manage compliance. Unnecessary peripherals can be blocked to prevent unauthorized copying or virus intrusion, while necessary devices can be granted controlled access for orderly use.
6. Enhanced Security Incident Investigation
AnySecura offers powerful auditing functions, meticulously recording document operations, copying to mobile devices, network transmissions, and more, fully tracking the entire lifecycle of files. Through risk audit reports and data analysis warning platforms, various operations are deeply analyzed to detect risks promptly. In case of incidents, the full process can be traced to identify root causes swiftly.
Customer Case: Supporting a Leading NEV Company in Protecting Confidentiality
A well-known emerging car manufacturer in China, a leader in intelligent vehicle design and manufacturing and a tech company integrating internet and AI innovation, faced challenges as rapid growth outpaced IT infrastructure, leaving R&D materials unprotected.
After deploying AnySecura’s endpoint security management system, the company not only implemented confidentiality measures on sensitive data to avoid multiple potential leaks but also unified management of internal network endpoints, reducing security risks while improving operational efficiency.
As internal and external information leakage risks evolve and challenges to protecting core secrets increase, AnySecura deploys protection measures directly at the confidential data level, deeply analyzing and effectively addressing leakage risks. It helps NEV enterprises build a more comprehensive and effective information protection shield, empowering steady progress in technological innovation.
