Is your cloud PLM software secure?

National Computer Software Security Day

Every year, Computer Security Day on November 30th celebrates and raises awareness about information security and reminds us to protect our valuable information assets from potential cybercriminals. Is your product lifecycle management (PLM) software secure on the cloud?

Manage product data with software, secured

Today, companies are storing and managing their valuable product knowledge in a PLM system, and many, on the cloud. This knowledge includes intellectual property (IP) such as CAD designs, material, and tooling information; that is of strategic importance to the businesses. With the change in the business landscape that requires constant connectivity and the consumerization of devices, there are continuously growing cyber security challenges.

In this situation, it is not uncommon to worry about intellectual property leaks from the PLM cloud system. There are security and regulatory measures that can be adopted to eliminate such security threats. With Siemens Teamcenter X, we deeply understand the security and regulatory needs of your business.
