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.
Jeff Gorell, Deputy Mayor of the City of Los Angeles for Homeland Security and Public Safety
9:45 – 10 a.m.
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?
Christopher Taylor, Director, M&E ISAC
10 – 10:30 a.m.
KEYNOTE: Securing Global Moments and Creating a Stronger BBC

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.
Erick Geisler, Chief Executive Officer, G2 Immersive Studios
Joel Sloss, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Azure
