Secure Pre-Launch Game, Illegal Release Stopped
£4.2m
Average leak cost saved
The Problem
Pre-release game builds are among the most targeted digital assets. A single leak can cost millions in lost sales, damage brand reputation, and give competitors valuable intelligence. Studios share builds with multiple partners, each representing a potential breach point.
The Scenario
Six weeks before launch, the studio's marketing partner was breached. Attackers exfiltrated files looking for the game build and marketing materials. The studio had previously lost £2.3m from a similar incident.
The Protection
- Pre-release builds stored in physically disconnected Firevault storage
- Marketing assets and embargoed content kept offline until release date
- Partner access granted through controlled, audited vault sessions
- Complete isolation from internet-connected systems
The Outcome
£4.2m Average leak cost saved
Despite the partner breach, no game content was exposed. The studio launched on schedule with full marketing impact. Industry average losses for game leaks exceed £4.2m, the studio's investment in offline storage paid for itself many times over.
