Trigital Distributes Ericom ZTEdge Web Isolation to Support Film, VFX and Content Creators’ MPA TPN Initiatives

Isolated Web Browsing Secures Internet and Email Access to Protect Creative Content from Exposure, Boost Productivity, and Prevent Cyberattacks

Trigital Infográfica, a supplier of technology solutions for audio/visual production environments, and Ericom Software, a leading provider of Zero Trust Remote Browser Isolation cloud cybersecurity solutions and developer of the ZTEdge™ SASE Platform, announce that they have entered into a partnership to offer ZTEdge Web Isolation to support Trigital Infográfica film industry clients’ Trusted Partner Network (TPN) initiatives to comply with Motion Picture Association (MPA) Content Security Best Practices Common Guidelines.

The MPA recommends use of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) as a security best practice to enable both internal and third-party users to safely use email and browse the web from production devices, while fully protecting valuable intellectual property (IP) and pre-release content from exposure. Earlier editions of the guidelines had barred all internet and email access on production devices, making tasks such as obtaining reference materials slow, cumbersome and frustrating.

While some technology-savvy production houses have implemented RBI solutions, many have found their performance to be insufficient. In particular, the low frame rates produced by some RBI solutions result in jagged scrolling and poor audio/image alignment when playing videos – issues that are particularly irritating for creative content professionals.

Ericom’s RBI solution, ZTEdge Web Isolation, has helped numerous organisations successfully pass TPN Assessments while providing content creators with welcome relief from draconian web access restrictions. Significantly, it is also the only solution with patent-pending technology that enables secure, TPN-compliant use of essential web-based collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack and Zoom.

With ZTEdge Web Isolation, administrators can apply granular group or category-based policies that block users from uploading content from their devices or organisation networks to websites and/or attaching files to emails. Browser clipboard functions may be completely disabled, disabled for specific websites or website categories, or otherwise provide limited, controlled copy functions for specific websites. This allows for copying of data where it might be necessary while continuing to protect against loss of valuable content through, for example, peer-to-peer sites. Policy-based controls can also be used to restrict sharing based on file size or type, or the amount of copied data.

With ZTEdge Web Isolation, all active website content (which could potentially include hidden ransomware or other data-stealing malware) runs in a virtual isolated browser in the cloud or on a remote server and is essentially removed before it can reach any internal networks or devices. This further protects organisations, beyond controlling browser functionality, by stopping malicious code from entering the organisation’s network and enabling hackers to stage an attack and/or access valuable content. ZTEdge Web Isolation re-renders web page content into an interactive media stream representing the website and sends it to the usual browser on the user’s device, for a safe, fully interactive, high-performance browsing experience. For additional phishing protection, websites launched from URLs in emails can be rendered in read-only mode to prevent users from entering credentials. Attached files (if not blocked) are sanitized before being transmitted to endpoints, ensuring that malware within downloads cannot compromise users’ devices.
