Manufacturing

Proprietary information such as manufacturing processes, suppliers and pricing information, and industry secrets are the lifeblood of manufacturing. More industrial-scale manufacturing entities trust Application Security, Inc. to protect that information than any other database security organization.

The risks we defend against are real. Consider the example of a recent breach at a European-based manufacturer. An employee pilfered more than 20,000 documents and trade secrets from his then employer and attempted to sell them to a competitor. Considered to be one of the largest misappropriations of confidential and proprietary data, these assets valued in excess of $400 million were stolen at the mere click of a button and simply walked out the door. In the face of such brazen theft, manufacturing organizations increasingly seek to take precautions to protect against the “inside threat” which has been widely acknowledged to account for over 80% of all database attacks.
