Case Study: a global manufacturer reduces design IP leakage by 94% with CultureAI

Global Manufacturer cuts design IP leakage by 94% with CultureAI

A global manufacturer with 5,500 employees across 12 sites faced the significant challenge of its engineers accidentally leaking valuable design intellectual property (IP), such as specifications and source code, by pasting it into unsanctioned AI assistants. This created a major security blind spot, especially with a dispersed workforce using off-network laptops, making traditional data loss prevention (DLP) tools and network-based solutions ineffective. The company turned to CultureAI to address this risk.

CultureAI deployed its solution to provide immediate visibility across 3,000 endpoints without requiring network changes. Its pre-trained models identified and blocked attempts to share design files and code with unapproved AI tools, reducing such leakage by 94% in the first quarter. This data from CultureAI clearly demonstrated the scale of the risk, elevating it to a board-level priority while still allowing engineers to use an approved, secure AI assistant.
