THE CHALLENGE

Securing high-value, high-volume data in a complex ecosystem

PacGenesis, an IBM Platinum Business Partner, delivers lightning‑fast, ultra-secure file transfers powered by IBM Aspera. From major film studios to global enterprises in software, finance, and life sciences, PacGenesis helps organizations move massive volumes of data with ease and confidence. This is a mission-critical advantage for the media and entertainment world where every second—and every frame—counts.

Projects in this industry involve a vast ecosystem of visual effects vendors, post-production houses, and distributors. Not only are the files large, often spanning petabytes, but they are also the industry’s “crown jewels.” These include unreleased films, confidential production assets, and other intellectual properties. While they must be moved with incredible speed to meet production deadlines, these also need to be protected against cyber threats.

PacGenesis sought enterprise-grade protection, centralized management, and unified visibility to secure these high-value assets. As cloud adoption accelerates across the media and entertainment industry, so do the risks. PacGenesis recognized the need to help customers move beyond reactive security, shifting to a proactive, cloud-native approach with TrendAI™ Micro that identifies threats early and protects assets before they’re exposed.

“We have solid customer relationships, and it’s because we put the customers’ needs first,” says Dipak Chocha, Enterprise Vice President of Sales and Business Development at PacGenesis. “We really want to make sure we’re not pitching things that are not relevant to the teams we work with, number one, but also that aren’t best-of-breed technologies.”

THE SOLUTION

Stronger, consolidated, AI-powered enterprise cybersecurity with TrendAI Vision One™

In TrendAI Vision One™, PacGenesis found a platform that provides comprehensive, multilayered protection for their customers’ most business-critical content. TrendAI Vision One™ enables PacGenesis to help customers proactively manage cloud risk, not just respond to it, with early threat detection and unified visibility across their hybrid environments.

TrendAI™ named PacGenesis their U.S. Catalyst Partner of the Year for 2025, recognizing their leadership in delivering cybersecurity solutions, secure file transfers, and exceptional customer service.

A scalable approach for all customers

For PacGenesis, one of the most compelling features of TrendAI Vision One™ is its versatility and scalability. “Our customers range from Fortune 500 enterprise‑type customers to a two‑person shop. TrendAI Vision One™ providing value at every scale is huge,” says Jason Warman, Vice President of Technology at PacGenesis. 

“The smaller businesses get the benefit of simplicity and automated deployment. In just an hour, we can get everything scanning for anti-malware in the cloud. And it’s very easy for large enterprises, which have complex deployment models— multiple cloud providers and on-premises,” adds Warman. “TrendAI Vision One™ accommodates both of those, and it’s a nice way to have extensibility as workflows grow or migrate.”

Automated, streamlined deployments with TrendAI Vision One™ allow PacGenesis customers to quickly evaluate the platform in their own environment, so they can immediately see its value.

Effortless integration for a secure workflow

PacGenesis has tightly integrated the scanning capabilities of TrendAI Vision One™ File Security into their daily data transfer workflows. This is a crucial element, as it allows for the secure ingest of external and unauthenticated uploads and protects valuable assets without slowing down mission‑critical transfers.

“In the past, the race was all about speed to get files from one place to another,” says Chocha. “TrendAI™ makes it effortless to add security without slowing things down. When customers get both speed and protection, they quickly see the value.”

A strategic partnership, from file transfers to full‑stack security

With TrendAI Vision One™, PacGenesis has transformed their role from a traditional file transfer specialist to a strategic partner for their customers’ overall cybersecurity posture. “Traditionally, we’re brought in to solve customers’ transfer challenges. But with the TrendAI Vision One™ platform, we’re able to help our customers strengthen their overall cloud and security posture as a whole,” says Chocha.

“From a logistical or day-to-day standpoint, having a single dashboard [in TrendAI Vision One™] that provides visibility across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and all of a customer’s on‑premises deployments means customers get a consolidated view of their security posture, which has been a huge differentiator for us,” adds Warman.

RESULTS

Deepening relationships, bridging security gaps 

With robust security for their file transfer services, TrendAI Vision One™ helps PacGenesis deepen their relationships with new and existing customers.  

With a single AI-powered enterprise cybersecurity platform, PacGenesis has enabled customers to overcome challenges related to fragmented security and gain a unified, clear view of their environment. The synergy between TrendAI™ and PacGenesis also opens doors for working with high-profile, high-stakes customers for whom security and reliability are non-negotiable.

Customers seeing the value of securing their incoming files can lead to broader platform protection. For instance, a major post-production company customer of PacGenesis started with the powerful file security capabilities of TrendAI Vision One™. Uncovering other security gaps in their workflows, they expanded their protection with the platform to local hard drives and servers, and eventually to their employees’ and contractors’ endpoints. The conversation evolved from a specific file transfer challenge to a holistic discussion about proactively securing the entire environment, all accelerated by TrendAI Vision One™.

PacGenesis customers can balance speed with security, ensuring quick and safe file transfers.

Historically, media companies’ high-speed file transfer workflows were often granted exceptions from corporate security because of the sheer volume of files. With TrendAI Vision One™, PacGenesis helps customers bridge that gap. The platform empowers security teams with the validations they need without slowing down the performance required by line-of-business teams. This gives their customers the best of both worlds, helping to maintain peak operational efficiency while providing them—and security teams—with peace of mind.

This has proven to be a powerful differentiator, enabling PacGenesis to sell to operations teams who are then able to bring security into the conversation with their corporate security counterparts.
