Manufacturing & Engineering
Protecting data across the manufacturing lifecycle
Manufacturing organisations operate in highly distributed environments where sensitive data such as CAD drawings, product designs, supplier pricing, quality documentation, and production processes are shared daily. Engineers email designs to suppliers, procurement teams exchange contracts externally, and operational teams collaborate across locations.
Traditional security tools focus on securing networks and devices, but once a file is emailed, downloaded, or shared externally, control is lost. This exposes manufacturers to IP theft, industrial espionage, ransomware, and insider misuse—often through legitimate access paths.
Why Galaxkey vs Traditional Security
Traditional security relies on perimeter defences such as firewalls, VPNs, and access controls. These approaches assume that once a user or system is trusted, data is safe. In contrast, Galaxkey applies security directly to the data itself.
Even when files are emailed, downloaded, or shared with third parties, Galaxkey ensures data remains encrypted, access-controlled, and revocable. This eliminates blind spots created by cloud sharing, email forwarding, and supply chain collaboration.
