CDSA at Dec. 6 CPS: Security Equals Savings

At the Dec. 6 Content Protection Summit (CPS) in Los Angeles, Ben Schofield, technical director of the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), will emphasize a key fact when it comes to for production crews: proper content security best practices equals cost savings.

His presentation — “Driving Cost Savings in Effective Production Security Operations” — will dive into the nuts and bolts of constructing a common template that can be easily adapted by productions, and the use of a secure wiki to provide the latest information online to authenticated crew members and allow feedback and tracking of activity.

A secure production is a profitable one, all in all.

Also at CPS, Chris Taylor, director of the Media and Entertainment Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ME-ISAC) and director of content security for Skydance, will deliver the presentation “APT Groups: What are They and Why Should You Care?”

Major ransomware attacks are making headlines every week. Who is behind these attacks? How many of these attackers are there? If we get attacked, how would we know which group we are fighting against? How would knowing that help us? Answers to all these questions and more in this introduction to some of the most active attackers on the internet.

Keynotes, panel discussions, and technology showcases at CPS will offer senior-level content and information security experts the latest around 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 will all be discussed, along with anti-piracy and IP protection as the industry works collaboratively to secure our most important assets.

Presented by Fortinet and produced by MESA, CDSA’s Content Protection Summit is sponsored by Convergent Risks, Richey May Technology Solutions, GeoComply, Signiant, Verimatrix, Shift Media, EIDR and EZDRM.
