Protecting Intellectual Property, Client Data, and Project Continuity from Cyber Threats

Overview

Engineering Cybersecurity Solutions

Engineering firms are increasingly reliant on digital collaboration, data exchange, and remote project management. As design files, client contracts, and confidential plans move online, they’ve become prime targets for ransomware, phishing, and data breaches.

Heimdal® delivers comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for engineering organizations that protect networks, endpoints, and email systems from cyber threats. Our unified platform empowers technical teams to secure sensitive project data, ensure compliance, and prevent costly downtime — all through a single, easy-to-manage solution.

Challenges

Engineering Firms Face Sophisticated Cyber Risks

Intellectual Property and Data Theft
Intellectual Property and Data Theft

Safeguarding Confidential Design and Project Files

  • Engineering companies manage sensitive CAD drawings, client records, and proprietary designs.

  • Attackers target these assets through phishing, ransomware, or credential theft.

  • Heimdal prevents unauthorized access and data loss by securing networks, devices, and email communications.

Ransomware and Operational Downtime
Ransomware and Operational Downtime

Maintaining Productivity and Service Continuity

  • A single ransomware attack can halt project work and damage client trust.

  • Many engineering firms operate on tight deadlines where downtime is unacceptable.

  • Heimdal’s multi-layer defense stops ransomware before it executes, keeping teams productive and projects on track.

Compliance and Resource Constraints
Compliance and Resource Constraints

Meeting Security Standards Efficiently

  • Engineering businesses must adhere to GDPR, ISO 27001, and contractual data protection requirements.

  • Smaller IT teams struggle to manage multiple security tools and compliance audits.

  • Heimdal consolidates key protections — from privilege control to patching — under one unified dashboard, reducing complexity and effort.

CYBERSECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR ENGINEERING

Comprehensive IT Protection for Engineering Firms

Heimdal helps engineering companies protect intellectual property, client data, and digital workflows with unified, automation-driven cybersecurity. Our platform ensures project continuity and compliance while minimizing the burden on small IT teams. Key Capabilities Include: - Network Security – Block malicious domains and prevent data exfiltration. - Endpoint Defense – Protect laptops, servers, and design systems from ransomware and malware. - Privilege Management – Remove unnecessary admin rights and prevent insider misuse. - Automated Patching – Keep all workstations and applications secure and compliant. - Email Security – Stop phishing, spoofing, and financial fraud targeting project and admin teams. - Threat Visibility – Gain centralized oversight and automate response actions to mitigate risk.

DNS and Network Security for Engineering Infrastructure product icon

AI-powered DNS and network protection prevents command-and-control connections, data exfiltration, and phishing attacks across global engineering operations. DarkLayer Guard® and VectorN Detection® analyze network traffic in real time to block malicious domains and communications before they reach design servers, R&D environments, or supplier systems. These tools form the foundation of a zero-trust architecture, ensuring secure collaboration and data exchange across distributed engineering networks.
