IP Security Manager

The ENOVIA 3DEXPERIENCE IP Security Manager (IPS-OC) Role is used to enforce Intellectual Property and Export Control protections through classifications.

IP Security Manager enables organizations to classify data with defined security rules (based on organization, citizenship, physical location and their combination) and exceptions in an evaluated expression. This classification enables the enforcement filter to protect data from unauthorized disclosure within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This classification framework complements the general purpose access controls available with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and implements the description of category-specific rules that must be met by any user trying to access a data item.

IP Security Manager defines and maintains the classification of information items in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform along with the classification including the associated security rules and exceptions. That classification information is used by the platform role IP Controlled Access to determine whether to authorize or refuse access to the requested data item.

This method of classification and enforcement for data items in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform (internal or by federation) means that a single 3DEXPERIENCE platform instance can manage all relevant product data in the organization’s enterprise and safely share that information according to their organization, nationality or physical location. Without this capability, organizations may be required to protect IP by storing the data in physically separate systems — with all the inconsistency, process delays and extra overhead costs these create.

IP Security Manager Benefits

Work Effectively in a Multi-National Environment

Obey export control regulations of all nations involved in multi-national project. Engage users from multiple nations participating and contributing to the intellectual property definition, where each nation maintains secure access and complies to its own export regulations.

Maintain Efficiency Levels While Still Co-Mingling IP

Preserve worker productivity in environments where co-mingling IP among multiple nations is a necessity for efficiency yet must be segregated to restrict access. Give users peace of mind by implementing a single system that can provide confidentiality, traceability and protection.

Simplify Authorization Exceptions

Enable managers to use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and official export licenses to grant access individuals that would otherwise be denied access through security rules on specific items.

Protect IP by Enforcing Security Criteria

Manage various security classification levels to protect access only to those with the proper security clearance.

Reduce IT Costs

Consolidate all IP data protection processes into one system for a more cost-efficient and productive environment.

IP Security Manager Highlights

• Companies can protect electronic IP in a robust and consistent way as a standard across the entire platform.
• Customers, partners, suppliers and employees can work in one environment while protecting each party’s IP.
• All types of data in the platform can be protected with the same approach and allow an audit review of users and access in one environment.
• Multiple systems and data stores used previously for IP protection by physical data segregation can be decommissioned.
• End users can define security classifications, rules and exceptions, as well as perform security audits, without requiring the IT team.
