Policy-driven authorization for manufacturing
Manufacturing companies must protect critical assets like intellectual property (IP), project details, and sensitive customer data across their global supply chains. Enhance security, meet compliance, and drive operational efficiency with our policy-driven authorization solution, designed to meet the unique needs of the manufacturing industry.

from policy-driven authorization, including:
Protect trade secrets, intellectual property, and customer information
Verizon’s Data Breach Report shows that financial motives cause 97% of manufacturing breaches. This makes your intellectual property a prime target for bad actors. Yet, many companies still rely on outdated static access controls that often fail to prevent IP theft after authorized users gain access.
With policy-driven authorization, businesses can better safeguard trade secrets and sensitive information. This approach enables secure collaboration with supply chain partners during research and development activities. It also ensures that authorized personnel have access to the data they need, down to the most granular level.
In a competitive landscape, static controls are often ineffective after users gain authorized access, as they can’t prevent misuse or IP theft. Policy-driven authorization, however, considers factors like user behavior and context to make adaptive access decisions, reducing risks of IP loss. This proactive approach helps organizations avoid costly setbacks from stolen research and development, ensuring competitors cannot unfairly benefit from unauthorized access.
By centralizing access policies, organizations can enforce the right level of protection for different types of classified information and prevent unauthorized sharing of customer design files, whether within local design teams or with extended partners.
Achieve Zero Trust in export control
and compliance initiatives
Advances in file-sharing technology have shifted export compliance risk from the physical realm to the cyber domain. Export control regulations are often written in complex legal language, making them hard to read. Organizations must ensure compliance with these strict regulations by implementing robust controls across their workforce and supply chain to avoid severe penalties. An International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) violation can result in substantial fines, significant business disruption, and even up to ten years of imprisonment.
To address these and other compliance challenges, TC Engine and Axiomatics have joined forces to develop an authorization engine that automates compliance through electronic policy enforcement, ensuring ongoing adherence to regulations. Joint efforts using Axiomatics’ capabilities to automate complex red-light/green-light decisions and TC Engine’s AI capabilities result in fine-grained access control (FGAC) policies. These policies ensure compliance with Export Control Information (ECI) and ITAR regulations, effectively delivering a Zero Trust solution for ECI.
During an audit or breach, organizations must demonstrate the steps taken to maintain compliance. Axiomatics simplifies this process by generating detailed audit logs. This allows companies to easily prove their adherence to export regulations worldwide, including ITAR, EAR, German BAFA, and the UK Export Control Act.
Why Axiomatics?
By modernizing your IAM and identity governance, you can better control access to manufacturing systems. By ensuring that only authorized personnel reach the systems and data they need. This approach not only enhances the security of sensitive information but also reduces operational costs and ensures compliance with data protection and privacy regulations.
With policy-driven authorization you can:
Enable secure collaboration
Organizations can control both internal and external information flows, ensuring that only authorized users access sensitive data and minimizing the risk of improper sharing or disclosure of IP, customer information, or project details.
Eliminate identity silos
By centralizing authorization, you can unify identity information, allowing for seamless management and sharing across modern and legacy systems, ensuring consistent access control and enhancing efficiency across your organization.
Reduce operational costs & development time
You can manage and deploy policies centrally, eliminating the need to hard-code them into each application. This approach cuts development time by around 20%, lowers operational costs, and prevents downtime during future updates.
Boost supply chain efficiency
By implementing an authorization solution that extends across your supply chain, you can streamline access management, simplify complexity, and ensure seamless experiences for employees, partners, contractors, and suppliers — ultimately boosting supply chain efficiency.
Separation of Duty (SoD)
Reduce risks related to fraud and errors while ensuring operational integrity. This division of responsibilities fosters accountability and transparency, making it more challenging for unauthorized actions to go unnoticed.
Consolidate reporting
Generate consolidated reports on access activity to sensitive data across the entire enterprise. This centralized reporting helps identify and address access risks, and improve compliance with corporate and regulatory policies.
Anomalous behavior detection and response
Monitor data access and usage, making it easier to detect anomalies and trigger denials of access from certified users. This proactive approach ensures compliance and helps you swiftly remediate any issues, enhancing the security of your organization.
Reduce role explosion
ABAC reduces the need for numerous roles by leveraging attributes. Access decisions go beyond a user’s role to account for additional factors, such as the user’s relationships, resources they need access to, their location, and the method by which they request information.
