For media agencies and publishers, working with large files such as audio, images, and video is the norm. Individual files can reach several hundred gigabytes in size, each of which are components that will be imported into editing and design applications like Premiere Pro and InDesign to create final campaign assets.

When a major security event like SolarWinds or Log4j happens, how do you assess the impact across your third-party supply chain? Most organizations struggle to effectively react to zero day attacks and other critical vulnerabilities at scale, often following manual and cumbersome workflows. But our latest capability is here to change that.
