Manufacturing

Many of the world's top manufacturing companies use Marshal solutions to safeguard their intellectual property, protect their networks from spam and viruses and ensure that all of their compliance obligations are met.

Marshal provides a range of solutions that provide specific benefits for manufacturers.

Data Leakage and Protection of Intellectual Property

For many manufacturing companies, the true assets in their company are not their factories or offices, but their intellectual property. Manufacturing companies need to maintain the utmost security of their trade secrets, new products, prototypes, designs and product launch information. However, with the freedom of the Internet, it is easy for an employee to leak that information – either intentionally or accidentally.

Marshal solutions are relied upon by many manufacturers to help prevent data leakage and ensure that confidential information cannot be emailed, uploaded to the Internet, or copied onto a USB device without appropriate authorization. Specifically, Marshal solutions can:

  • Identify specific files or file types (such as CAD files) and implement policies to manage who can send or receive them. Any email sent to your competitors or other specific domains by unauthorized users can be instantly blocked or copied
  • control or block access to webmail accounts, which could otherwise be used to circumvent email rules
  • Detect confidential documents or files hidden inside other files
  • Identify specific files that you want to control
  • Use the TextCensor feature to identify confidential keywords and phrases
  • Prevent sensitive data from being leaked at the endpoint and copied onto mobile storage media such as USB sticks

Secure Email Communications

Manufacturing can be a cut-throat industry and you never know who is interested in your email conversations. MailMarshal allows you to apply policy-based encryption to secure communications and prevent third-parties from intercepting emails.

If you need to communicate with suppliers, customers, partners or external contractors on an important project, you can have MailMarshal automatically encrypt communications with those parties.

MailMarshal's sophisticated encryption options make it possible for you to add digital signing and automated management of certificates and expiration lists.

Enforcing Sophisticated Acceptable Use Policies

Manufacturers often have offices across the globe and employ thousands of people. A worldwide manufacturer must meet complex requirements, such as:

  • Managing thousands of email accounts
  • Managing and enforcing its Acceptable Use Policies
  • Conforming to local law in a variety of jurisdictions

Marshal solutions provide the ideal framework and easy-to-use methodology for implementing even the most sophisticated policy configurations.

 

Email Security

MailMarshal can apply specific and/or multiple actions to emails or attachments and can manage complicated groups of users, exceptions and specific user matching conditions.

 

Internet Access Management

WebMarshal can manage all aspects of Internet use, including what kinds of content different employees can access, what types of files they are permitted to download and what users are saying on webmail. WebMarshal can also apply sophisticated exceptions via scheduled browsing times, bandwidth and time-fixed quotas.

 

Endpoint Security

Marshal can also ensure that sensitive corporate data is not removed from the network by, for example, disgruntled employees. Marshal Endpoint Security protects manufacturing companies from accidental or deliberate data leakage via USB sticks and other mobile storage media at the endpoint.
 

Comprehensive and Centralized Reporting

Reporting on all aspects of email, Internet, endpoint security and firewall activity is available. For manufacturing customers, these reports are invaluable in determining who is complying with Acceptable Use Policies, and which users are infringing either as a one-time incident or persistently.
