- AIP based data encryption guarantees the sovereignty and the responsible use of organizations’ data by insiders, partners, suppliers and customers
- Enable you to extend the established Teamcenter security policies beyond your organization boundariesSupport to encrypt CAD data such as from NX™ software, Solid Edge® software, AutoCAD, Inventor, Creo as well as non-CAD data such as MS office, PDF and other data formats
- Support to encrypt CAD data such as from NX™ software, Solid Edge® software, AutoCAD, Inventor, Creo as well as non-CAD data such as MS office, PDF and other data formats
- Promote zero tolerance across the extended enterprise
Today, organizations are looking for overcoming below business security challenges to achieve the Zero Trust security policy while working with customers, partners and suppliers.
Business security challenges:
- How to achieve end to end data security with confidentiality, integrity and protection?

- Simplified administration: Data access with predefined group & roles
Siemens Teamcenter AIP DRM enables data protection through encryption thereby controlling the access and usage on the data throughout its lifecycle.
Data protection and its usage are supported in a Teamcenter ecosystem:
- Active Workspace – NX, Solid Edge, CREO, AutoCAD & MSO Integrations
