Abstract
Digital film production and how they are distributed have altered production and distribution for efficiencies, creativity and access to the world. But it has come with a series of cybersecurity problems, such as data breaches which exposes sensitive personal or corporate data, which leads to identity theft, reputation damage and financial loss. Intellectual property theft is another problem being faced by the film industry in the production process to digital distribution network vulnerabilities. The focus of this article is cybersecurity as an integral component of digital movie properties, including piracy, ransomware and insider threats. Using actual case studies and finding out what’s happening in the digital film ecosystem we can also make the case for strong security architectures. The paper suggests practical solutions such as advanced encryption technology, DRMs and new technologies such as blockchain and AI-based cybersecurity solutions. Overall, this research shows how we need a holistic cybersecurity approach to protect the future of digital film production and distribution.
