Film and media industry attacks are on the rise

According to Forbes, the film, media and entertainment industries pose a huge opportunity for cybercriminals through intellectual property theft and extortion as well as ransomware. Since the Sony, Netflix and HBO breaches several years ago, the industry has become even more digitised, vastly increasing the potential attack surface for cybercriminals. With third-party contractors adding additional weak links, it’s no surprise that many organisations are looking for centralized cybersecurity management.

Why entertainment, film and media firms love SenseOn

Minimal effort required to correlate data

The nature of the entertainment industry means that there is a high volume of asset and client data. This, in turn, generates a significant amount of security data. SenseOn correlates all of this data into one usable format so analysts can instantly find out who, what, where, when and how without having to try and link up information from disparate sources.

Direct observation of your network

As security teams in entertainment firms are becoming more distributed through remote working, it is becoming even harder to access network information with traditional tools. SenseOn’s Universal Sensor collects data across remote workers, offices, production sites and cloud instances at once with an EPNS service to correlate endpoint information and the network data at the point of being recorded.

Drastic reduction in blind spots

With critical data comes great responsibility. It is a top priority that there are no security blind spots in an entertainment organisation’s digital estate. Any gap could be an entryway for adversaries to access confidential information. Our Universal Sensor provides specific, granular information without the traffic jam of lots of different tools to stop adversaries from penetrating your estate.

Reduction of noise

As with many security teams, resources for cyber security within entertainment, film and media organizations are often thinly stretched. As such, there is rarely the capacity to resolve the thousands of alerts that are generated by traditional security tools. Using a highly accurate AI based reasoning framework, SenseOn only brings true positive alerts to the attention of analysts, dramatically reducing security operating costs.

“We just put SenseOn in and let it flow. There was minimal time for implementation. Nothing we’ve ever put in has shown value so quickly. We have gone from not having a security team, to having a security team as a result of SenseOn.”

Matt Blee

Cyber Security Manager, Yeo Valley

“SenseOn was the toolset we'd been missing. As a small business, we need to have the same level of protection against threats as the big players, but we don't have the budget to employ dedicated security specialists and this is where SenseOn comes in."

Andrew Walles

IT Solutions Architect, Harbottle and Lewis

“SenseOn is our most valuable security tool due to its ease of use and ability to detect across the estate. The speed of customer service is a huge benefit – I can use the intercom and within minutes, I have a response and someone helping me build a query or general support where I have a knowledge gap.”

Jim Newman

Senior VP of Information Security, KidsLoop

“We were keen to utilise new and innovative technology to defend our organisation. We spent a lot of time looking at more conventional solutions, but only SenseOn offered the functionality we wanted at a sensible price point.”

Adrian Moore

IT Director, bpha

"SenseOn is what you look for in a partner. They have been amazing to work with and dedicated to the success of Advantage and protecting our business."

Steven Young

VP Information Security

Loved by teams and companies you know.

Dramatically reduce workload without compromising defence.

We do security differently.

SenseOn was founded on the belief that the cybersecurity industry is broken. Designed by security professionals who have felt the pain of traditional tools, SenseOn’s vision is to remove the burden of mundane, repetitive work so security and IT professionals can enjoy more fulfilling careers by enabling an autonomous, intelligent and secure digital world.
