Cyber Security must be a priority for Broadcast and Media organisations

Broadcasting and Media companies, like so many others, are seeing two things, an increased frequency of cyber-attacks, and an increased sophistication and complexity to these attacks.

Companies must take responsibility; the reality is that creative media and broadcasting companies are high targets because of their valued content. Knowing where your valued assets are and being prepared for these incidents is key.

Protecting physical and digital assets for production, storage and distribution, ensuring continuity of service, safeguarding valuable content from being stolen or misused, are some of the challenges facing broadcasters, media content producers and distributors.

The broadcasting industry rely increasingly on IT, the internet, internal and web connected networks for content production, storage and delivery. As a result of this, protecting content production, storage and delivery of broadcast and multimedia services from cyber threats relies on both IT and operational technology. This requires a multi-layered, dynamic approach.

Our work here at Exponential-e with broadcasters has shown us that offering complete visibility, management, and control of your private and public cloud is powerful – not just for cutting costs, but also to help companies increase their speed to market and remain competitive in an ever demanding, consumer driven market place. We can work with you to help you identify where your content is, who has access to it and monitor movement of this data. Beyond this we can help you identify and eradicate resident threats that may be waiting to exfiltrate your latest content at any moment.
