Today, Vera announced two partnerships and product integrations with Autodesk and PTC. Although manufacturers account for 12% of the total U.S. GDP and 80% of privately held patents, companies today still lack effective tools to control designs once shared with contractors, third parties, or foreign suppliers. With embedded, always-on security that travels with the data, Vera protects CAD files and data in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems with persistent security and control. With a 360-degree audit trail, dynamic permissions, and a frictionless user experience, Vera is closing a critical data loss vector for manufacturers today.
"CAD and PLM solutions are the beating heart of innovation for thousands of companies and define billions of dollars in products and IP every year," said Ajay Arora, CEO and co-founder of Vera. "Because of this, these designs are a rich target for IP theft that can result in untold millions of lost dollars. That stops today. While Autodesk and PTC are known for their excellent security, the problem has always been a complete lack of control once designs leave these systems or are shared with external partners. Now, Autodesk and PTC users worldwide can maintain total control over their designs and trade secrets throughout the supply chain."
Vera partners with Autodesk and PTC for always-on security and control
Autodesk has built their reputation on not only their powerful suite of simulation, 3D design, and engineering solutions, but the trust designers have in the security and reliability of their ecosystem. Now a member of the Autodesk Developer Network (ADN), Vera provides an additional layer of critical security for teams working with AutoCAD and Inventor files that will protect data when designs are downloaded and shared externally, or if competitors attempt to access trade secrets.
Vera has also partnered with PTC, the leader in IoT and AR design software, to help drive PTC's mission of building the future of innovation. As part of the PTC Partner Advantage Program, Vera directly protects Creo Parametric designs created on-premises or shared to unknown networks and devices. Additionally, manufacturers leveraging PTC's Windchill PLM, can leverage Vera to auto-protect CAD designs checked in, checked out, or shared with security controls that persist with the data, anywhere and always.
