Many thousands of people worldwide are working to make movies and shows for Netflix. They include writers, directors, actors, crew members, editors, animators, subtitlers, and many more. As a newcomer to the century-old business of movie making, Netflix is looking for new ways to help these talented professionals put their best work on the screen. However the technologies we’re developing come with important security needs. Scripts, prerelease content, and personal data must all be managed efficiently and securely. In this presentation, Netflixers working at the frontier of a new era of movie making will talk about how we are meeting these technological and security challenges.
