Case Study: KLA-Tencor Safeguards Intellectual Property with NextLabs Data Protection

KLA-Tencor - Customer Case Study

KLA-Tencor, a leading semiconductor equipment supplier, needed to protect sensitive intellectual property used by more than 2,000 field engineers across 18 countries. The challenge was to secure diagnostic and yield-optimization data on laptops while preventing leakage through email, file sharing, USB devices, and lost or stolen devices, without disrupting field service workflows. KLA-Tencor chose NextLabs Data Protection software to address these risks.

NextLabs implemented its Information Risk Management Suite/NextLabs Data Protection to encrypt data on servers and laptops, control access with fingerprinted applications, block unauthorized transfers to USB, email, and file servers, and enforce updates and remote protection policies on offline devices. The solution was deployed without custom integration, helping KLA-Tencor protect IP across the data lifecycle while also enabling monitoring, logging, and real-time reporting for audits and investigations.
