Protect Infrastructure Project Data with NextLabs Data-Centric Security
NextLabs SkyDRM for Bentley ProjectWise automatically encrypts files before they are shared with employees, suppliers, or partners. The encrypted wrapper includes security labels from ProjectWise that are used to determine the rights of users to access the data, and authorized users can open, view, and modify protected files using the native MicroStation and AutoCAD applications. Built on the NextLabs CloudAz dynamic authorization policy enforcement platform, SkyDRM provides central management, policy control, and activity analysis.
SkyDRM helps organizations secure confidential projects, support compliance, and enable trusted collaboration by applying controls such as:
- Automated rights protection (tag and encrypt)
- Access and usage control, including time-based rights
- User permissions based on existing ProjectWise user lists
- Native integration with ProjectWise, MicroStation, and AutoCAD
- Secure viewing from any HTML5 browser
- Centralized monitoring and reporting
Why Use SkyDRM for Bentley ProjectWise?
- Protection at the Source: Automatically encrypt project files before they are shared and extend that protection to files downloaded from ProjectWise.
- Persistent Protection: Encryption and usage rights travel with the file as project data moves to employees, partners, and suppliers.
- Native Engineering Workflow: Protected DGN and DWG files work consistently with ProjectWise, MicroStation, and AutoCAD functionality, including shared workspace, title blocks, and references.
- Full Visibility: Data owners see how project data is shared, accessed, and used, with centralized visibility to quickly highlight unusual access patterns or behaviors.
Key Capabilities
- Automated rights protection: Encrypt and tag valuable files managed in ProjectWise.
