DNEG

DNEG is a globally recognized visual effects, animation, and creative technology studio with a team of thousands across 19 studios in cities including London, Vancouver, Mumbai, Los Angeles, Chennai, Montréal, Toronto, Sydney, Barcelona, and Budapest. The studio has won eight Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects. Its technical domains span visual effects, animation, stereo conversion, creative technologies, AI-enabled tools, digital character simulation, and advanced playback and review. Proprietary tooling includes Ziva , used for digital character simulation, and xSTUDIO , built for advanced playback and review. The studio operates in the film and entertainment vertical, partnering with filmmakers on large-scale productions. Security teams here face a distinct threat model: protecting high-value intellectual property - unreleased film assets, proprietary rendering pipelines, and AI-enabled creative tools - across a distributed global infrastructure. The attack surface spans production networks, cloud-based render farms, artist workstations, and the pipeline code that ties them together. With studios stretched across multiple continents and time zones, the security challenge is operational as much as it is technical. Distributed teams handling sensitive pre-release content require rigorous access controls, network segmentation, and endpoint hardening at scale. The environment demands hands-on work with production infrastructure, not just corporate IT - a domain where downtime or a breach doesn't just cost money, it can derail a film's release schedule.
