Fasoo AI targets screen-based IP leaks in manufacturing

Fasoo AI on Aug. 4 said manufacturers need to extend data protection beyond files to the screen, where design and production information can be exposed through screenshots, photos and screen sharing. The company introduced Fasoo Smart Screen as a way to add watermarking, screenshot prevention and policy controls without changing existing workflows.

Why it matters: - Manufacturers store and view valuable intellectual property across engineering and production systems, creating exposure beyond traditional file security. - Screen-based leaks can happen in seconds through screenshots, phone cameras, screen sharing or unauthorized visual access. - Fasoo AI is positioning screen security as a missing layer in broader data protection programs.

What happened: - Fasoo AI highlighted screen security for manufacturing environments in a release dated Aug. 4, 2026, from Seoul. - The company said manufacturers face risk across engineering workstations, factory systems and supplier collaboration platforms. - Jason Sohn, Fasoo AI’s Executive Managing Director, said design files and engineering documents are already protected in many cases, but the screen display remains a blind spot. - Fasoo AI introduced Fasoo Smart Screen, or FSS, as a tool for protecting information at the point of viewing.

The details: - FSS combines dynamic screen watermarking, screenshot prevention and context-aware security policies. - FSS is designed to make every viewing session traceable. - Fasoo AI said FSS protects critical intellectual property without disrupting engineering or production workflows. - The company said FSS complements existing security investments by adding visibility, accountability and policy enforcement at the screen. - Fasoo AI said the approach does not require fundamental changes to existing workflows or security infrastructure. - The company said manufacturers work with files containing IP across PLM, CAD, ERP, MES and collaboration platforms. - Fasoo AI said engineers review product designs, production teams monitor manufacturing dashboards, quality teams analyze inspection results and suppliers access technical documentation.

Between the lines: - The message reflects a broader shift in enterprise security from file-level controls to where people actually view and share sensitive information. - For manufacturers, the risk is not only external theft. Routine collaboration can also create opportunities for accidental or intentional leakage. - Fasoo AI is tying the product to bigger industry trends, including AI-driven engineering, smart factories and connected supply chains.

What's next: - Fasoo AI says manufacturers need stronger protection as they continue investing in AI and connected operations. - The company says its data-centric security platform can help reduce insider risk, strengthen governance and support digital innovation. - More information is available in Fasoo AI’s screen security overview. - More information about the company is available on Fasoo AI’s website.
