Data security solutions for the media and entertainment industry

Protect the sensitive data that drives your business and your reputation from data breaches.

Media and entertainment

The media and entertainment industry has all the data security needs most businesses have, but it also maintains very sensitive data related to the financial and personal relationships between the organisation and the people it works with to develop and distribute the creative product. Vormetric data security solutions from Thales help media and entertainment enterprises secure their data against data breaches that can halt normal business operations for days, weeks and even months and seriously damage corporate reputations.

Relationships and data

The media and entertainment industry has all the data security needs most businesses have, but it also maintains very sensitive data related to the financial and personal relationships between the organisation and the people it works with to develop and distribute the creative product. Perhaps more than in any other industry, positive personal relationships are critical to creating successful products and maintaining a positive corporate image.

Operational impact

A data breach for a media and entertainment company can bring normal business operations to a complete halt and cost extraordinary amounts in business days, weeks and even months lost as the organisation struggles to find out what happened, how and what options it has for recovering from the damage.

Reputation

Because media and entertainment industry revenues are based largely on personal relationships, data breaches can cause irreparable damage to an organisation's reputation, its ability to do business in the future and executive careers.

CipherTrust data security platform

The CipherTrust data security platform is the only data breach security solution with a single extensible framework for protecting data-at-rest under the diverse requirements of the entertainment and media industry across the broadest range of OS platforms, databases, cloud environments and big data implementations. This results in a low total cost of ownership, as well as simple, efficient deployment and operation.

CipherTrust transparent encryption

CipherTrust Transparent Encryption provides file and volume level data-at-rest encryption, secure key management and access controls required by regulation and compliance regimes.

CipherTrust application data protection

CipherTrust application data protection enables organisations to easily build encryption capabilities into internal applications at the field and column level.

CipherTrust key management

CipherTrust key management enables centralised management of encryption keys for other environments and devices including KMIP compatible hardware, Oracle and SQL Server TDE master keys and digital certificates.

CipherTrust security intelligence

CipherTrust Security Intelligence provides another level of protection from malicious insiders, privileged users and attacks that compromise accounts. This delivers access pattern information and can identify a potential breach in progress.

Quick and easy to install no matter what your OS

Thales can work with you to install CipherTrust Data Security solutions in weeks rather than months. Thales solutions work with most major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX and Windows servers in physical, virtual, cloud and big data cardholder data environments (CDE).

Easy to use

CipherTrust data security makes it simple to address security and compliance concerns by simultaneously defending data in databases, files and big data nodes across public, private, hybrid clouds and traditional infrastructures. Central management of the entire data security platform makes it easy to extend data security protection and satisfy compliance requirements across the entire enterprise, growing as required, without adding new hardware or increasing operational burdens.

Doesn't slow system performance

Customers typically report no perceptible impact on end-user experience when using Thales solutions. CipherTrust transparent encryption performs encryption and decryption operations at the optimal location of the files system or volume manager taking advantage of hardware cryptographic acceleration, such as Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard-New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) and SPARC Niagara Crypto, to speed the encryption and decryption of data.
