OPENING KEYNOTE: The LA Cyber Lab: Fighting Cybercrime, Together
The nature of the cybersecurity threat in the United States mandates the need for leadership in preventing, mitigating, and recovering from adverse events in cyberspace. There is a critical need for enhanced bilateral information-sharing, cybersecurity workforce and education development, multifaceted incident response strategies, and protection of critical infrastructure. Fortunately, Los Angeles is at the forefront of cybersecurity defense and innovation. Launched in August 2017, the Los Angeles Cyber Lab is the first of its kind public-private-partnership. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting personal and protected information from malicious cyber threats by facilitating and promoting innovation, education, and information sharing between Los Angeles’ public and private sectors for the benefit of all our city’s businesses and residents. LA Cyber Lab is dedicated to sharing the latest cybersecurity threat data, alerts, and intelligence gathered by the City of Los Angeles and its partners. Under the leadership of Mayor Eric Garcetti, the lab develops policy and practices to support businesses, residents, families, and the community. Our Opening Keynote provides an inside look at the lab’s initiatives and ways to get involved.

The Importance of Threat Intelligence in Protecting Content
Media & Entertainment companies play a key role in shaping public opinion and national image, making it a target for advanced persistent threats and other forms of hacktivism. An Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) is a community effort within an industry that provides a central resource for gathering and disseminating information about cyber threats pertinent to its industry. With so much information coming in via news, blogs, tweets, alerts from cyber security vendors, alerts from government agencies, and other sources, it can be overwhelming for a company to keep on top all of that data when they are trying to focus on doing their core business tasks. This is where the ISAC comes in to provide a curated feed that distills down the mountain of data to what is relevant specifically to media & entertainment companies. To help you understand how threat intelligence fits into your security program, we’ll attempt answer these questions for you. What is threat intelligence? Why do you need it? How does it help you stay safe online?

In this keynote conversation, BBC Studios Content Security Director Alex Pickering will describe the security challenges faced in delivering global moments for shows like Doctor Who, Sherlock and Blue Planet II and the approach taken in creating a stronger BBC via a combination of stakeholder engagement, incident management, and vendor cooperation.

The New Frontier: Securing Production
Content protection during production requires a unique approach due to the complexity, scope, speed and nature of how we create feature and television content. With a cast and crew of sometimes hundreds, how do you ensure you have the necessary protocols in place that balance an increased need for digital infrastructure and information security with the range of roles and responsibilities on set. This panel discussion looks at how content creators approach creating and promoting corporate best practices around e-mail, authentication and device management.

Making it Real: Cloud-Native Feature Production
This session discusses how end-to-end content production can occur in the cloud for feature, TV, and short-form media. There’s no longer a need to upload/download data and risk breaches, loss or errors. Instead, you keep everything in the cloud and bring artists securely to the data through managed identities, access policies, and isolated cloud network environments. Artist tools can be virtualized in GPU-powered VMs, feeding directly into render managers. And when the shots are done, pull everything together on a cloud-based editorial workstation and asset manager. You’ll learn that this is no longer a vision of the future, rather it is in use today.

Optimize your Content Value Chain with Distribution Watermarking
With the proliferation of distribution outlets, including both traditional broadcasters and pay TV operators as well as on demand streaming providers, the licensing of movies and episodic TV has become a very complex exercise. Until recently, assessing the impact of distribution and windowing strategies on piracy has been more art than science but today forensic watermarking is helping to reverse that trend. By embedding a “distributor mark” in offline assets and linear TV feeds and subsequently monitoring the internet for pirated files and streams, content owners can uncover the prevalent patterns of piracy and optimize their content distribution strategies. They can also leverage the information gained to enforce their distributors to implement increased security measures such as Conditional Access, DRM and subscriber-level

SPEKE-ing of Content Protection & DRM
Encrypting high-value content has long been a challenge for media customers. The number of digital rights management (DRM) schemes, transcoding and packaging vendors, and packaging formats created hundreds of potential integration points, each requiring extensive engineering resources and time. The Secure Packager and Encoder Key Exchange (SPEKE) is a single, open REST API specification for authentication and key exchange between DRM platforms and encryptors (transcoders and packagers) that reduces the number of integration points and accelerates time-to-market for customers for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud video workflows. In this session, learn about the SPEKE API and the Content Protection Information Exchange (CPIX) format, and how SPEKE establishes secure key exchange using Amazon API Gateway, document encryption, IAM roles, and Signature Version 4 signing for live and file-based video workflows.

Vulnerability Management – From B Movie to Blockbuster
With the increasing spend in security budgets and the apparent increasing frequency of data breaches, managing vulnerabilities in an organization can seem like a never-ending game of blind whack-a-mole. How organizations approach vulnerability management in the past simply does not cut it with today’s technology stack and development methodologies. We will discuss some of the problems associated with the vulnerability management status quo and some ideas on how to shift your VM program away from a B Movie and towards a Blockbuster.

Beyond Compliance – Supplier Assessment Security Considerations
As a security product company, Illumio sees supplier security assessments which include compliance-oriented questions centered on organizational structure, policy, background checks, awareness training, and occasionally basic product testing. The questions are certainly important and necessary – however, there is seemingly a range of topics absent from these questionnaires that could yield some valuable insight to help guide your decisions as a company and for your customers. This session shares important evaluation topics that can be used to expand your assessment from being compliance-oriented to one that includes other security considerations.
