WEBINAR: AIDN and Guardware Webinar present: Secure by Design: Protecting Engineering IP Across Defence Supply Chains

AIDN and GuardWare are delighted to present our next Webinar: “Secure by Design: Protecting Engineering IP Across Defence Supply Chains”.

That’s not a hypothetical. That’s the reality for defence suppliers right now, and it’s exactly why AIDN and GuardWare are presenting: “Secure by Design: Protecting Engineering IP Across Defence Supply Chains.”

WHY ATTEND

You already know the dilemma: you have to share drawings and design files to win work, but the moment those files leave your network, you lose visibility over who has them, where they’ve gone, and what’s being done with them. Most businesses find out too late, after a breach, not before one.

This practical one-hour session shows how an Australian defence supplier is closing that gap on live projects, using GuardWare PROTECT Design. Through a real customer case study, you’ll see how to share designs with confidence, keeping control of the file itself, no matter where it travels, who has it, or what happens after the project ends.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

How protection that stays attached to the file itself, not your network, lets you:

• Secure CAD drawings, technical designs and other engineering IP wherever they travel.

• Control who can open, use and share protected files.

• Revoke access when project roles or circumstances change.

• Provide visibility and audit evidence around file access.

• Reduce the monitoring, investigation and reporting burden if a protected file is lost, stolen or exposed.

• Strengthen readiness to participate in Australian defence programs, major defence projects and AUKUS or US supply chains.

Leave able to answer the question every tender and program review is starting to ask: where is our engineering IP, who can open it, and can we take it back if we need to?
