Protecting Digital Assets, Intellectual Property, and Customer Data
The media and entertainment industry is at the forefront of digital transformation, with streaming platforms, online portals, and cloud-based production systems reshaping how content is created and consumed. However, this innovation comes with a growing attack surface, making media companies prime targets for cybercriminals. Raxis provides specialized penetration testing services tailored to the unique challenges of the media and entertainment industry, helping organizations secure their digital assets, protect intellectual property, and maintain customer trust.
Scoping & Planning
Raxis begins every engagement by collaborating with your team to define the scope of testing based on your unique environment. For media and entertainment companies, this often includes streaming platforms, content delivery networks (CDNs), cloud-based production workflows, and ticketing systems. By tailoring the scope to your specific operations and compliance requirements, such as GDPR or MPA Content Security Best Practices, we ensure that high-risk areas like intellectual property repositories and customer data systems are prioritized. This approach minimizes operational disruption while delivering maximum security insights.
Simulated Real-World Attacks
Our penetration testers replicate advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other real-world attack scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities across your infrastructure. Using techniques like phishing simulations, API exploitation, and secure cloud configuration testing, we identify weaknesses that attackers could exploit. For example, we test for unauthorized pre-release access to digital assets or vulnerabilities in streaming services that could lead to content piracy. These simulations provide actionable insights into how attackers might target your systems while ensuring minimal impact on daily operations.
Comprehensive Vulnerability Identification
Raxis leverages its expertise to identify vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, cloud environments, and physical systems. Whether it’s a misconfigured CDN exposing pre-release content or an insecure API endpoint enabling unauthorized access to user data, our team pinpoints critical security gaps. We also assess legacy systems and IT/OT integrations that are common in media production environments, ensuring that even older technologies are protected against modern threats like ransomware or supply chain attacks.
Detailed Reporting
After testing, Raxis delivers a comprehensive report that goes beyond listing vulnerabilities. Our reports include proof-of-concept exploits, prioritized remediation steps, and clear explanations of potential risks tailored to your environment. For media companies handling sensitive intellectual property or customer data, these reports provide actionable guidance to address security gaps effectively while maintaining compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Additionally, our reports are designed for both technical teams and executives, ensuring clarity for all stakeholders.
Support & Retesting
Once vulnerabilities have been addressed, Raxis conducts retesting to validate that fixes have been implemented correctly without introducing new risks. For media companies, this step is critical for maintaining the security of dynamic systems like streaming platforms or cloud-based production workflows. Our team works closely with yours during this phase to confirm that all issues have been resolved and that your systems remain resilient against evolving threats.
Continuous Security Monitoring with PTaaS
With Raxis Attack (Penetration Testing as a Service), media companies gain continuous visibility into their security posture through real-time assessments and expert guidance via the Raxis One portal. This service ensures that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed proactively as new threats emerge—providing ongoing protection for digital assets, intellectual property, and customer data.
Protect Intellectual Property
Media companies handle valuable intellectual property, including pre-release content, scripts, and proprietary production techniques. Cybercriminals target this data for theft or ransom, which can lead to financial losses and reputational damage. Penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities in your systems to safeguard these critical assets.
Secure Customer Data
Streaming platforms, ticketing systems, and online portals collect sensitive customer information like payment details and personal data. Penetration testing ensures these systems are secure against unauthorized access and data breaches.
Prevent Service Disruptions
Ransomware attacks or breaches can disrupt streaming services, production workflows, or ticket sales, causing significant downtime and revenue loss. Testing helps ensure your defenses are robust enough to prevent such disruptions.
Combat Content Piracy
Cybercriminals often target media companies to steal or distribute pirated content. Penetration testing helps protect against unauthorized access to digital assets, ensuring your content remains secure until its intended release.
Meet Compliance Standards
Media companies must comply with regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), or MPA (Motion Picture Association) guidelines. Penetration testing validates compliance by identifying and addressing security gaps.
Key Cybersecurity Challenges in Media & Entertainment
Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware is a growing threat in the industry, targeting critical systems like production workflows or streaming platforms. These attacks can lead to service disruptions and stolen intellectual property.
Content Piracy
Unauthorized access to pre-release content can result in significant financial losses. Cybercriminals often exploit vulnerabilities in cloud storage or production systems to steal valuable assets.
Supply Chain Risks
Media companies often rely on third-party vendors for production or distribution services. Weaknesses in these external partners’ systems can expose your organization to breaches.
Social Engineering Threats
Phishing campaigns targeting employees can lead to unauthorized access to internal systems or sensitive data.
