Safeguard critical assets with integrated security solutions

Market challenges

As modern technology is increasingly used to create and distribute content, companies in the industry face numerous security challenges, such as contending with the constant threat of data breaches and defending against denial-of-service attacks. Companies not only need to protect media infrastructure components such as production and distribution networks, they must also deal with malicious software and malware vulnerabilities. In addition, maintaining security standards among multiple vendors across the media value chain is difficult to achieve.

The frequency and complexity of cyberattacks on media companies continue to increase. While hacking poses an increasingly serious threat, deliberate and accidental loss of intellectual property is another key risk facing the sector. Still, many companies do not know where the security weaknesses are in their current architecture. Media and entertainment companies must have a clear enterprise security strategy in place to respond to these new business realities.
