Every year, millions of dollars in revenue are lost by studios because of piracy and theft of premium content. With the emergence of enhanced premium content such as 4K Ultra HD and HDR, Hollywood studios need new security measures derived from cryptographic solutions and advanced Digital Right Management (DRM) solutions. Premium content protection now a concern at every point in the consumption lifecycle.

Protecting premium content from theft has always been important for cybersecurity in media & entertainment industry, as data is actually the core business of this industry. Millions and millions of bytes of content are stored by companies for assets used in movie making, whether live-action or animation, the theft or tampering of this data or any pirated content in general would mean years of lost work and considerable amounts of lost investment; all because security was not sufficient.

Entertainment is not just about movies and TV shows; it is also about video games which have been gaining massive interest in recent years, with a multi-billion dollar industry. Thus, security is as important to this industry as any other, whether it deals with digital content protection that gaming companies release or protecting the players themselves.
