Piracy and Lost or Corrupted Data Costs Industry Billions Every Year
Ciphertex Data Security®, a leading provider of secure, portable data storage solutions, announced it will be showcasing its new, blazing-fast all-NVMe SecureNAS CX-140KNVMe model, which holds a whopping 420TB, and its new CX-Linux ZFS™ all-in-one storage management platform at the National Association of Broadcaster Annual Conference {NAB}, April 23-27, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV. These products provide a new level of safety, security, and portability to the TV and movie industry, which is increasingly under attack by inside-job pirating and hackers desiring to capture and sell this valuable art or to hold it for ransom. The NAB Show is the world’s leading marketplace for unbridled innovation, unmatched connections and transformative technologies shaping the future of media and entertainment.
“TV and movies are big business, which makes them a perfect target for piracy and cyber criminals”
Piracy in the movie and TV industry is always an inside job. And shooting movies creates a ton of data that needs to be transportable, reliable (to survive being on a remote movie set), capable of super-fast upload and downloads – because we are talking terabytes of data – and most importantly, secure. According to CNET, piracy costs the movie and TV industry between $29 – $79 billion annually and up to 230,000 jobs. For this reason, Ciphertex SecureNAS is used by many movie and TV directors and studios to protect their valuable art. These two new products represent the next generation of data security and mobility.
