Australia is a favourite target for cyber criminals, as we have a mature market and are an early adopter of cloud and enterprise security technologies. One in two cyber incidents in Australia are data breaches.
At GuardWare, our mission is to safeguard your sensitive data in an unpredictable digital world through excellence in data protection, visibility, and control.
For manufacturers, this means protecting design files, production processes, and proprietary technologies that are critical to maintaining your competitive edge.
We empower manufacturing businesses to reduce risk without hindering productivity, creating a secure digital future where trust, innovation, and productivity thrive across industries.
If You Don’t Know Where Your Data Is, You Can’t Protect It!
Manufacturing businesses generate vast amounts of sensitive data, from CAD drawings to client proposals. This data often ends up in unprotected formats such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. These files can reside on employees' laptops, workstations, or shared drives, making your business vulnerable to breaches.
The average time to identify and contain insider threats is 287 days? Delays in managing data loss put your business at incredible risk.
Recent high-profile breaches show that no organisation is immune to cyberattacks. For manufacturers, the theft of intellectual property—such as designs, production methods, or client lists—can have devastating consequences.
Hackers often gain access to privileged accounts, extract sensitive information, and use it for extortion or sale on the dark web. These intrusions frequently go undetected until it’s too late.
In today’s data-driven world, manufacturing businesses face increasing risks from insider threats, data theft, and regulatory challenges.
With growing reliance on digital tools for design, production, and supply chain management, safeguarding your data is more critical than ever.
Insider threats are among the hardest to detect in manufacturing environments. Trusted employees may:
Copy valuable IP to personal devices or email accounts before resigning.
Use unauthorised apps like Dropbox to store confidential production data.
Accidentally send sensitive files to the wrong person.
Act with malicious intent due to grievances or financial gain.
GuardWare’s monitoring tools help detect and mitigate these risks before they escalate, protecting your production methods and intellectual property.
The use of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini introduces cybersecurity risks, including potential data breaches, as sensitive information shared during interactions could be exposed or misused. Additionally, reliance on AI tools without verifying outputs can lead to the dissemination of inaccurate or harmful information. Organisations should implement strict access controls, train employees on safe usage, and avoid sharing confidential data with such tools.
GuardWare provides tools to monitors AI interactions by monitoring and controlling what gets pasted or sent to these AI tools. This helps to prevent loss of sensitive data while still allowing productive use of these tools.
Manufacturers must comply with regulations and standards like ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, DISP, ITAR, CMMC and Privacy Laws (NDB Scheme & GDPR) GuardWare simplifies compliance by:
Identifying sensitive production data in files.
Ensuring secure handling of classified information.
Providing ongoing monitoring to prevent breaches.

Insurance providers evaluate your security measures when calculating premiums. A weak cybersecurity posture results in higher costs.
GuardWare helps manufacturing businesses reduce premiums by improving their overall security posture through risk assessments and proactive measures.
Blocking essential design or production tools may reduce risks but can hinder productivity. Employees often find workarounds, such as using personal devices or third-party apps, increasing security risks.
GuardWare provides a balanced approach that secures data without impacting workflows, ensuring your teams remain productive while staying secure.
CIOs and Training Departments spend significant time and money on awareness campaigns, but these are often ineffective. GuardWare’s real-time alerts and automated education tools make employees aware of risks at the right time, improving behaviour and reducing incidents.
Manufacturing businesses often rely on USB drives to transfer production data or CAD files between systems. Downloading sensitive data to unregistered USB drives remains a common security gap. GuardWare provides tools to block unregistered devices and monitor data transfers to prevent leaks.
We identify sensitive data at the content level and locate where it is, and if required we classify it through The process includes all file types such as design files, office, pdf, text, xml, zip files , images, scanned documents and supplier data.
Our team conducts a detailed data driven risk assessment to assess your current data security posture and identify vulnerabilities uncover blind spots and potential risks specific to manufacturing environments.
We deploy GuardWare tools to monitor and protect your data in real-time, ensuring your intellectual property remains secure.
Our continuous support ensures you stay protected and compliant over time, helping you focus on what matters—producing high-quality products.
