M+E Daily

At the Dec. 5 Content Production Summit, the premiere gathering of the top security and asset protection minds in the M&E industry, several industry experts will share their thoughts on the intersection of AI and media and entertainment security.

In “Google’s Perspective on Generative AI & Security” attendees will hear from Google Cloud as they work to stay ahead of the threats while leveraging the opportunities.

And in “How AI Impacts Security Compliance” experts from Convergent Risks and Digital Silence. Generative AI is in nearly every conversation and will touch us in everything we do from email and social media, through to new SaaS applications we develop and our use of 3rd party solutions. Risk will increase in proportion to the level of AI interaction.

Without defined best practice and security compliance how can we be confident that AI is working for us for rather than against us in public cloud environments.

Meanwhile, several CDSA working groups will share updates on their latest news.

First there’s the panel discussion “CDSA Working Group Highlight: Addressing Crew On/Off-Boarding.” The constant onboarding and offboarding of production crew members across major elements of M&E has considerable cost and timing implications against an overall industry effort to work faster, be more agile and achieve greater efficiencies.

CDSA and MovieLabs are attacking this space from both ends, with CDSA’s Production ID Working Group driving a near-term effort to make operational efficiency improvements via best practices, while MovieLabs is developing a “North Star” vision for our industry that defines key transitional elements that CDSA can then air towards. Hear from panelists engaged in both endeavors, and the value they see in this effort.

“CDSA Highlight: Securing the Broad Product Supply Chain via CDSA’s Copyright & Licensing Working Group” will dive into the progress of the working group. Consumer product development and manufacturing of IP from film, TV, and games is a multi-billion-dollar industry…which is fraught with risk due to the early timing, distributed nature of the process and the ultimate value of the products. The CDSA’s Copyright & Licensing Working Group has embarked on a multi-year effort to engage with the Licensing Community in a broad way with their “Spoiler Alert” awareness campaign.

“CDSA Highlight: Hardening the Streaming Ecosystem via CDSA Security of Streaming Devices Working Group” discusses the strategic and holistic approach being taken by our community to address challenges in the entire streaming ecosystem that starts at the device level. With a collective goal of hardening an ever-evolving landscape, we have built several work streams that complement the overall objective of the primary group which is led by Netflix.

And in “ME-ISAC’s Anatomy of a Breach: MGM Grand & Caesars Palace” Jess Levine, threat analyst with CDSA’s ME-ISAC, and Chris Taylor, director of CDSA’s ME-ISAC and global security director at Skydance will dive into the response to a breach.

The full-day event at the Culver Theatre in Culver City will see industry stakeholders mingle with counterparts, demo the latest offerings from top Hollywood vendors, and watch presentations, with an emphasis on the intersection of AI and security.

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, the Content Production Summit is presented by Fortinet, and sponsored by Convergent Risks, Friend MTS, Amazon Studios Technology, Indee, NAGRA, EIDR, and Eluv.io, in association with CDSA and the Hollywood IT Society (HITS).
