Safeguard Global Media Production at Every Stage
From pre-production to delivery, today’s media pipelines move faster, grow more complex, and carry more risk. Superna protects your content — without slowing teams or timelines.
Massive Data. Massive Stakes.
Unlike data created and managed in databases, unstructured data doesn’t have a specific format or organization. It’s used – often collaboratively – in the creation of entertainment products and may be repurposed for marketing and distribution. And in all cases, it needs to be protected against unauthorized access and even piracy.
Superna Protects Media at Full Scale
Superna continuously monitors unstructured media storage — catching anomalies, suspicious file access, and ransomware behavior in real time.
When freelance editors, remote teams, or third-party vendors interact with high-value assets, Superna automatically flags and isolates risky activity before damage spreads. This means pre-release content, master files, and digital dailies stay protected — without adding friction to production workflows.
When incidents hit, Superna delivers forensic-level visibility — showing you exactly which files were affected, how far the breach spread, and who accessed what. Instead of restoring entire volumes or halting work across the studio, you can surgically roll back just the compromised assets. It’s ransomware recovery that matches the speed and precision of post-production timelines.
Superna protects massive, media-rich environments — from on-prem NAS to cloud shares — without slowing down renders, asset transfers, or editorial timelines. It supports petabyte-scale workflows across NetApp, Dell, Qumulo, and AWS, while integrating with tools your teams already use. Studios and content owners trust Superna to meet compliance demands from streamers, partners, and insurers — without layering on extra software or delays.
How Superna can help your organization
Emerging technologies in the media industry and collaborative workflows add complexity to protecting unstructured data, requiring increased data security that was previously unnecessary in the industry.
Unstructured data typically lacks organization. Without clear labels, metadata, or defined data fields, it can be difficult to classify and even more challenging to identify sensitive data requiring protection.
With unstructured data being generated by a multitude of sources – including social media, emails, documents, images, and videos – the sheer volume and rate of growth requires the ability to easily manage across different storage types and regions, adding to the challenge of identifying and protecting sensitive information, along with maintaining regulatory compliance.
Comprising a multitude of formats, including Word documents, PDFs, PowerPoint files, images, audio files, and multiple video formats, creating a consistent and effective security strategy can be a challenge.
Unstructured data is often shared among different stakeholders – including employees, vendors, partners, contractors, even artificial intelligence – creating yet more unstructured data – making it difficult to restrict access to sensitive information and prevent data leakage.
Unstructured data is often stored across several locations – from shared drives and mobile devices to cloud storage across multiple regions – making it difficult to keep track of and adequately protect.
Media & Entertainment Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we receive about the media and entertainment industry and our answers.
With the increased approach to global data production and distribution, it is no surprise that this shift from centralized management to international collaboration has also started to impact the media industry. When dealing with the data security of intellectual property, the same best practices that are used in multinational companies across the globe can be applied to the media and entertainment industry.
The lines between protecting the various types of data across different industries are beginning to blur. Much like other high-engagement data in other industries, the media and entertainment industry is seeing a boom in content creation and collaboration. As new video is recorded, it is then passed to teams for editing and post- production, oftentimes in different sites, states, and even countries before the final product is produced. As more stakeholders and contributors are added, the more hands that the data will need to go through, the difficulty and importance of increased data security and cyber storage will grow.
