With hundreds of employees in India and across the regions worldwide, Prime Focus is a high-end visual entertainment services provider of creative and technology services to the film, broadcast, commercials, gaming, Internet and media industries.

Considering a high level of competiveness in the entertainment business and a wide range of threats that put confidential and sensitive data in jeopardy, Prime Focus was seeking for a robust data security solution.

“Wherever possible, Prime Focus collaborates with leading technology vendors and IT developers”, said Feroz Shaikh, Vice President of IT within Prime Focus. “We evaluated several solutions offered by various worldwide vendors and found that InfoWatch Traffic Monitor is a paramount selection to fulfill our needs of a proactive security platform. We’re happy with the way software integration was carried out and how InfoWatch together with its partner Comguard delivered exceptional technical support, training and consulting services throughout all stages of project implementation, which had only taken a couple of days to complete.”

InfoWatch’s Traffic Monitor Enterprise provides comprehensive protection against information leakage and data breaches. It acts as an endpoint sentry - enforcing policy at the PC level, and preventing confidential or personal data from being leaked or stolen by printing hard copies, or writing it to a USB storage device or other removable media along with an intuitive network gatekeeper - monitoring outbound traffic to ensure sensitive data is not leaked or exposed via email, webmail, social networking, instant messaging, or other online channels.

Several analysis technologies, combining in-house developed linguistic analysis, digital fingerprinting as well as template analysers provide high intellectual property detection reliability to filter outbound traffic and detect confidential data with unmatched precision.

The intercepted and analysed traffic data is stored in a centralised archive - Forensic Storage - providing an opportunity for retrospective or forensic analysis.
