IBC has announced the line-up of speakers for its event on cybersecurity, part of the new C-Tech Forum launched this year. The invitation-only event, that will be held on Sept. 15, will allow businesses to gain the latest insights into the threat posed from cyberattacks, including the most common risks and how to mitigate them. Delegates will also learn how adopting a good cybersecurity policy can offer competitive advantages in the marketplace.
Key speakers include: Elaine Bucknor, group director, strategy, security and governance — Sky; Jeff Kember, technical director media — Google; Latha Maripuri, global CISO and deputy CTO — News Corp., Paul Lynch, director, technology management office — ITV; Andreas Schneider, CISO — SRG/SSR; and Steve Fridakisi, vice president media and tech operations, HBO.
Paul Lynch, director of the technology management office, ITV, said: “With such a broad range of risks and vulnerabilities to manage, comprehensive monitoring and analysis of network and device behavior alongside well-practiced incident playbooks are critical to the defense of any broadcast company.”
As a prequel to the Cyber Security Forum, IBC hosted a webinar titled “Broadcast under attack: Protecting content and defending infrastructure” on July 20. The session covered how high-profile attacks on broadcast and media players are on the increase and what the threat landscape looks like, as well as highlight what the new attack surfaces are and how broadcasters and media companies should approach cybersecurity. Speakers included: Brian Brackenborough, CISO — Channel 4; Richard Welsh, CEO, Sundog Media Toolkit and VP of education — SMPTE; and Cameron Brown, cyber expert — legal forensic.
