SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LucidLink, an innovator in cloud file storage for remote collaboration, announced today that it has teamed up with the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) to establish safer, more secure content creation workflows for hybrid and remote teams worldwide.

By incorporating the new TPN+ platform into its content security preparedness, LucidLink continues to deliver its best-in-class security to protect creative teams' valuable content and enable secure distributed workflows.

"At LucidLink we are proud to be an early adopter of TPN +, especially since this certification was built for cloud collaboration which is at the heart of LucidLink Filespaces," stated Peter Thompson, CEO and co-founder of LucidLink. "Security has been a key design tenet since our inception, and we welcome the opportunity to help increase the level of security throughout the industry. We understand the threat to the entertainment industry's most valuable asset - their content."

TPN, powered by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), serves as a community platform and industry source of truth, benefiting content owners, service providers, assessors, and the industry as a whole with the shared goal of security preparedness, awareness, and anti-piracy measures for the entire digital media supply chain in an environment that faces critical data breaches.
