Case Study: Large Footwear and Apparel Manufacturing Company achieves secure design-file protection and seamless collaboration with Vera

Vera Secures Design Files of Large Footwear and Apparel Manufacturer

Large Footwear And Apparel Manufacturing Company, a U.S.-headquartered global apparel and footwear manufacturer with more than 50,000 employees, needed to protect highly sensitive design files, manufacturing specs and supplier contracts while still enabling fast collaboration with internal teams and external partners. The Company selected Vera to secure files used in cloud collaboration (Box), on Windows and Mac, and across complex file types including Adobe Illustrator without disrupting workflows.

Vera deployed always-on file security (AES-256 encryption), watermarking and screenshot prevention, granular view/edit/print/copy controls, key decoupling from the cloud vendor, and a Vera SDK/API to automatically protect machine-generated and custom-app files. Integrated with the Company’s DRM, DLP, CASB and SIEM, Vera enabled centralized visibility and control, prevented premature or unauthorized sharing, and secured IP across the Company’s 50,000-employee ecosystem and external partners while preserving a frictionless user experience.
