Intercax is excited to announce the release of [Syndeia 3.6](https://www.intercax.com/products/syndeia/3-6-new-features/). Over the next several weeks, we will be releasing a series of blog posts highlighting the new features that will accelerate concurrent digital engineering for mission-critical products and systems, all powered by enterprise-scale digital threads.

Security is as critical as accessibility in implementing digital engineering. Syndeia 3.6 provides additional security features at the Digital Thread Project level. Project level control allows organizations to house digital threads for multiple systems on a single instance of Syndeia Cloud (hosted on their own server or private cloud), while restricting which team members can view, edit and/or analyze data for a specific project. This becomes indispensable when multiple organizations are collaborating.

Figure 1 illustrates the three levels of data protection in Syndeia 3.6.

## What is a Digital Thread Project?

As a federated approach to digital engineering, the system data remains in the individual repositories where it is created and used in the specific engineering domains. Syndeia created a network layer of inter-model connections between artifacts in the external repositories, where each connection retains just enough information about the artifacts at either end to be able to find and access those artifacts when the user wants to extract or share artifact attributes or internal relations.

A set of inter-model connections specifies a distinct system model and is referred to as a Digital Thread Project (DTP), as illustrated in Figure 2. Syndeia previously could create and store multiple DTPs but without user access control, i.e. all authenticated Syndeia users could access all DTPs.

## Future Posts in this Series

In Part 2 of the Syndeia 3.6 Release series, we will present how project privileges are set in the new version. The following parts will describe how new project-specific reporting and analysis features in Syndeia 3.6 provide a dramatic expansion of out-of-the-box capabilities in the Syndeia Web Browser. Later in the series, we will introduce the new integrations and new REST API endpoints in Syndeia 3.6.
