M86 Security Industry Solutions for Manufacturing

Supply and Demand

Many manufacturers view intellectual property as the their important asset—not factories or real estate holdings. Strict security governs trade secrets, new products, prototypes, designs and product launch information. However, email and Web communications make it easy for an employee to leak that information - either intentionally or accidentally.

M86 Security Web and email security solutions help prevent data leakage and ensure that confidential information cannot be emailed, uploaded to the Internet, sent via peer-to-peer applications or copied onto a USB device without appropriate authorization. Our Intelligent Footprint Technology™ provides application control through signature/pattern-based detection of Web-based proxies, IM/P2P, streaming media, remote access applications and online/network games—shutting them down to help optimize network bandwidth for mission-critical functions. Our products also enable real-time monitoring of inbound and outbound bandwidth activity by protocol, port and user, allowing IT administrators to isolate and manage high-bandwidth users.

M86 Security solutions are robust and scalable, easily meeting the performance requirements of large enterprises. Plus, management requirements are made easier by intuitive graphical interfaces, automated tools and shared administration rights. Our email and endpoint security solutions are feature rich and enterprise powerful, as well.
