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 organisations 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, centralised 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 recognised the need to help customers move beyond reactive security, shifting to a proactive, cloud-native approach with Trend 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.”
"Our partnership with Trend has transformed our business strategy."
Having a single dashboard 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.

RESULTS
Deepening relationships, bridging security gaps
With robust security for their file transfer services, Trend 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 Trend 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 Trend 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 Trend 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 Trend 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.
