Cracks in the System
Cybersecurity threats don’t always kick the door down—sometimes, they slip in through the cracks. This month, we’re spotlighting three subtle but serious security risks that could be undermining your defences right now.
Go beyond software licence monitoring and simplify your CAD software deployments
Managing design & engineering software environments is more than just monitoring usage—it's about ensuring that systems and configurations are consistent, secure, and optimised to support efficient workflows. While CQFlexMon gives you the visibility to make informed decisions, CQi enables you to act on them. Together, they provide a powerful foundation for smarter, scalable CAD management.
