Securing the Software Development Lifecycle with Adaptive and Data-Centric Security Approach
October, 2025
As software development accelerates, vulnerabilities are surfacing across every phrase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) – from planning and coding to deployment and operations. High-profile software supply chain attacks have exposed how fragile modern pipelines can be, putting sensitive data and business operations at risk. In fact, global damage from these attacks is projected to reach $60 billion by 2025, underscoring the urgency for organizations to rethink how they secure their development ecosystems.Â
Read our latest article, co-authored with Alper A. Kerman and Michael A. Ogdata from NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to explore how the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) – alongside with Zero Trust principles, AI-enabled security, and Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) – can work together to fortify SDLC security at every stage.
Maximize Engineering Collaboration Without Sacrificing IP Security
As engineering projects expand globally, sharing enterprise intellectual property – designs, research, source code, and specs – with suppliers and partners is vital to staying competitive. Yet, with collaboration comes a storm of risk: IP leakage, unauthorized disclosure, and compliance violations when information-sharing agreements aren’t properly enforced. Without robust safeguards, companies risk losing their competitive edge facing legal battles, and suffering reputational damage that’s hard to repair.
Dive into our solution paper to explore the data-centric security approach that empower teams to collaborate with confidence – while wrongful disclosure of engineering IP and ensuring compliance every step of the way.
Safeguard Sensitive PLM Data Throughout the Teamcenter Ecosystem
Intellectual property (IP) theft remains a critical threat to modern enterprise managing product designs across global teams and external partners. While Siemens Teamcenter suite powers Product Lifecyle Management (PLM), the very collaboration – internally and externally- it enables can expose sensitive design data to unauthorized access and theft. to significant risks. With trillions lost annually due to IP breaches, organizations must extend their Teamcenter PLM security to achieve end-to-end protection for product data on the move.
Check out the data sheet to explore how an enhanced Teamcenter Digital Rights Management solution can enable persistent protection with advanced rights protection capabilities to ensure highly confidential product information is always secure.
Strengthening Data Protection in Collaborative PLM Environment
As R&D, design, and engineering teams expand globally and adopt more agile collaboration models, safeguarding sensitive product data has become increasingly complex. Traditional IT infrastructure struggle to manage the risks of today’s dynamic PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environments – where design files move fluidly across internal teams, suppliers, and mobile platforms. Without adaptive, automated controls, even the most advanced PLM tools can become a source of vulnerability rather than efficiency.
Dive into this whitepaper to explore the emerging business risks and data vulnerabilities shaping today’s collaboration PLM ecosystems and discover a platform-based solution to strengthen control and security across every stage of the product lifecycle.
