The aerospace and defense organizations operate on a global scale and handle data that needs to be protected from competitors as well as foreign military and government organizations. Competitive secrets, disparate customer requirements, and government regulations surrounding the sharing of sensitive information are critical considerations in the aerospace and defense marketplace.
The U.S. government’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), govern the export and import of defense related material and technologies. These regulations are closely linked to trade secrets and matters of national security; U.S. companies can face multi-million-dollar fines if they provide non-U.S. persons with access to ITAR-protected products or information. Managing and controlling ITAR-protected information is a critical step for organizations wishing to address ITAR compliance requirements, however many of these organizations still struggle to understand their data and how to protect it.
Organizations need a solution that ensures ITAR compliance, while also allowing their business to run optimally. An ideal solution should accurately identify sensitive data in their systems, mitigate leakage of that data, and be able to reduce user friction throughout this process.
