FinalCode Joins Autodesk Developer Network

FinalCode, a provider of file security, has joined the Autodesk Developer Network (ADN) to extend support to secure CAD files for Autodesk users. FinalCode is an add-on integration option that adds AES-256 data encryption, usage permissions, auditing and remote delete capabilities.

According to a company press release, FinalCode for CAD capabilities include:

• AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT and Autodesk DWG TrueView 2010-2016 support
• Rapid and easy setup of internal and external users for immediate secure collaboration
• Reduced data theft risks with strong 256-bit AES file encryption, comprehensive file-based IRM controls and rich activity logging
• Ability to restrict access and usage by recipient, time and other attributes for files shared with customers, prospects, partners, contractors and supply chain
• Means to delete files on demand, by policy or automatically if shared with an authorized user
• Enhanced security to collaborate on business-sensitive and proprietary AutoCAD and Adobe Acrobat files across public or private networks, collaboration platforms and popular devices
• Cost-effective external file security; free use for recipients external to the organization
• Flexible use as the solution can be implemented by department, project or enterprise-wide

“In the case of the CAD industry, sensitive files are often shared with a wide variety of recipients, increasing data leakage risks,” said Andrew Kellett, principal analyst, Infrastructure Solutions, Security at Ovum. “FinalCode addresses data leakage issues using a persistent file security tool with an intuitive and flexible means of securing sensitive files that are shared via existing collaboration methods. It also provides an array of usage controls and auditing functions for Autodesk CAD files and Adobe Acrobat files, which are often shared between design teams.”
