## **Cyber Security**

## Broadcasters are now a *target*

Broadcast and media infrastructure has become a target. We monitor the evolving threat landscape for media organisations, from weak points in playout to supply-chain risks in IP production. And track the vendors moving in to respond. 

- Playout legacy systems now exposed as delivery moves to IP
- Zero trust is becoming the default model in broadcasting environments
- Supply chain is the fastest-growing risk in IP production workflows

#### WHAT WE TRACK

### Five fronts deciding who stays secure

Broadcast security isn't one problem, it's a shifting mix of exposed systems, new rules and vendors racing to respond. Here's where we focus our intelligence, so buyers defend the right things and sellers build for real threats.

##### 1. Weak points in playout

 The kit that runs playout was never built to sit on the open internet. As playout moves to IP, decades-old systems become fresh ways in.

##### 3. Compliance pressure

The rules for protecting media infrastructure are tightening and organisations increasingly have to prove they're secure, not just say so.

##### 5. The vendor response

Which security vendors are moving into broadcast, what they're offering, and where the real gaps still sit.

##### 2. Supply-chain risk

Modern IP production stitches together dozens of third-party tools. Every connection is a door someone could open.

##### 4. Zero trust in broadcast

The shift from "trust the network" to "check everything, every time" and what it actually takes to make that work in a live environment.

##### Want the full picture?

Our on demand resources and events will support you in managing the risk, keeping you ahead of the curve, and your competitors.

#### WHY IT MATTERS

### Know the threat before it finds you

Sector intelligence isn't a report. It's a clear read on a fast-moving threat landscape. Where the risk is heading, and where the market is responding, while there's still time to act on it.

We turn new regulations, breach patterns and vendor moves into a practical view of what to defend first and what to build for next.

#### EVENTS

### Where we're discussing this

Our events provide you with a unique platform to learn about one of the biggest industry risks and connect with likeminded professionals from around the globe.
