  • Televisual hosted a dinner to discuss challenges around cyber security in the UK post and production industry.
  • The panel included senior post directors, insurance experts, and representatives from Trusted Partnership Network (TPN).

In a recent roundtable discussion hosted by Televisual, industry experts gathered to discuss the growing threat of cyber security in the UK post and production sector. The panel included senior post directors, insurance experts, and representatives from the Trusted Partnership Network (TPN).

The discussion highlighted the importance of understanding cyber security and developing strategies to mitigate against cyber-attacks. Insurance companies were mentioned as key players in responding to such attacks and implementing Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP). The TPN, formed by major US studios, also plays a crucial role in setting security standards and protocols within the industry.

It was noted that most cyber-attacks are not specifically targeting M&E companies but rather exploiting vulnerabilities in cloud-facing hardware and software applications. This underscores the need for industry-wide awareness and preparedness for potential threats.

The roundtable highlighted the lack of coverage on cyber security in industry press, despite the significant impact a single cyber-crime can have on a business. It was mentioned that SMEs without cyber insurance are particularly vulnerable, with the risk of failing within two years of experiencing a cyber-attack.

The Televisual Cyber Security Roundtable Report provides valuable insights and recommendations for businesses in the post and production industry to enhance their cyber security measures and protect against potential threats.
