Dealing With BotNets Discussed at Dec. 6 Content Protection Summit
Story Highlights
The threats to media and entertainment companies, their operations, and their customers are varied and vast.
At the Dec. 6 Content Protection Summit (CPS) in Los Angeles, Don Jones, director of strategic fraud intelligence for Comcast, will tackle one of the major threats that continues to evolve and survive: BotNets, where a network of malware-infected computers are brought under the control of one attacking party.
In his session — “Dealing with BotNets” — Smith will share Comcast’s work to better understand and deal with botnets in ways that the rest of the industry could (and should) leverage. The session promises to deliver exactly the kind of “common problem/common solutions” that the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA) focuses on.
The CPS event will be the premiere gathering of the top security and asset protection minds in the M&E industry. Held in-person in Los Angeles, and virtually in the MESAverse, MESA’s virtual work environment for its members and communities, the full-day event at the Skirball Center will see industry stakeholders mingle with counterparts, demo the latest offerings from top Hollywood vendors, and watch presentations, with an emphasis on content protection in a virtual production era.
Keynotes, panel discussions, and technology showcases are designed to offer senior-level content and information security experts the key information around the latest in content protection across the entire supply chain for entertainment. Production security, post-production workflows and the growing ecosystems of platforms and connectivity that are driving the secure content creation and distribution process. Additionally, anti-piracy and IP protection will be covered as our industry works collaboratively to secure our most important assets.
Produced by MESA, CDSA’s Content Protection Summit is sponsored by Convergent Risks, Fortinet, Richey May Technology Solutions, GeoComply, Signiant, Verimatrix, Shift and EIDR.
