LOS ANGELES — Fortium (www.fortiumtech.com), a provider of digital content protection solutions for film, television and broadcast, will demonstrate the latest features of its MediaSeal encryption ‘at-rest’ and ‘in-use’ solution at NAB 2018. Demonstrations will show how MediaSeal protects sensitive media files from cybercrime and accidental distribution without impacting post production and localization workflows. New features include smart folders, for encryption-on-the-fly, and smart card for advanced authentication. Fortium will also be demonstrating the latest version of Patronus at NAB, its DVD screener anti-rip product.
With cybercrime on the rise, media and entertainment companies need to ensure their content has the best possible protection. “Leaks are becoming more common and the cost borne by victims, in terms of monetary loss and damaged reputations, is becoming every greater,” explains Fortium CEO Mathew Gilliat-Smith. “MediaSeal is an easy-to-use and effective tool for securing files during film and television post production, sound and picture editing, localization and marketing production. It protects files from theft and accidental loss at rest, in motion and in use.”
Fortium will be demonstrating MediaSeal and Patronus at its NAB booth (SU10603) and at the Aspera booth (SL5910). In addition, CEO Mathew Gilliat-Smith will participate in a panel discussion on security as part of Avid Connect 2018 at Wynn Las Vegas. Titled “Security in the World of Media: Content Is King, Keep It Safe!,” the panel is scheduled to take place Saturday, April 9th, at 2:00pm. Gilliat-Smith will be joined by Microsoft Azure’s Joel Sloss and moderator Brad Dick of The Broadcast Bridge.
In addition to a number of live-stream interviews, Fortium will lead an NAB CM|IP Presentation entitled “Your Risk, Your Reputation - Security Is Our Biggest Challenge.” The presentation is slated for Tuesday, April 10th, at 4:30pm in the CM|IP Presentation Theater (SU13205CM).
