In a virtual meeting scheduled for March 2, SMPTE Hollywood will explore the challenges of cybersecurity in the post-pandemic world. A panel of security experts will discuss threats and vulnerabilities that have arisen due to the expansion of remote working and changes in production practices in the wake of COVID-19—and offer advice on how to protect against them.
In the past, media production consisted of discrete phases with specialized contributors following a central workflow. But that is no longer true. Today, collaboration involves versatile contributors engaged in heavily branched pipelines. Security must adapt from fortifying discrete environments against attackers, to support safe collaboration among diverse parties and varying workflows throughout the production process.
The panelists will include JoAnne Kim, head of production technology at Amazon Studios, is a production and post-production technologist with experience in facility management and studio operations; Rick Soto, senior vice president of global IT and Security at Pixelogic Media; Spencer Stephens, senior vice president production technology and security, MovieLabs; Bret Suding, an independent digital imaging technician with experience across film, television and advertising production; and Marc Zorn, content protection & production security for Marvel Studios.
The moderator will be Juan Reyes, senior director, home entertainment & technology at Convergent Risks. The panel is produced by Debra Kaufman, Juan Reyes, and Marc Zorn.
Cybersecurity in a Post-Pandemic World is being held March 2 at 12:00 p.m. PDT.
