After very visible media and video broadcast industry attacks, everyone in the industry is worried about security, and let’s face it, there’s good reason to be. According to Novetta, there is evidence that the Sony hackers have been at work since at least 2009, and they are still at large. Media executives have reported that the number of security incidents over the last 12 months has jumped 17%. The attack on TV5Monde saw the station’s 12 channels taken over and helpless for 18 hours. You want to focus on creating the most audience captivating video experiences, without the fear of your latest creation being stolen or compromised before your vision becomes a reality. And when you get ready to deliver the content, you want to ensure that only your authorized customers are able to enjoy your services.
Security can be a business enabler. You want to take advantage of today’s digital technologies such as IP, cloud, and over-the-top (OTT) delivery, and not be deterred by security concerns. Robust security is crucial to protecting your business, your content and services, and your customers.
