Protect content across every workflow

Your team's in five locations. Your data's in three clouds. Your security shouldn't be your problem. As film and TV workflows become more distributed, security becomes harder to manage across infrastructure, cloud, partners, and remote users. Sohonet provides fully managed, studio-grade security and remote access for media companies, helping protect high-value content while reducing day-to-day operational strain.

  • Dedicated internet access
  • Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS)
  • SSL and IPsec VPN access
  • Network anti-virus protection
  • URL and data filtering
  • 24/7 monitoring and expert support
  • Universal Threat Management (UTM)

What's included: 

  • Next-generation firewalls with advanced Layer 7 protection
  • Continuous monitoring and proactive management
  • Hourly configuration backups and full revision history
  • Secure deployment, updates, and policy management
