A cybersecurity strategy that divides a network into smaller, isolated segments to limit traffic flow, reduce the attack surface, and prevent unauthorized lateral movement. Essential in IP-based broadcast environments where control systems, media flows, and management interfaces must remain protected and operationally resilient.
A software-defined approach to broadcast infrastructure that replaces traditional, hardware-centric facilities with virtualised, flexible, and programmable environments. By combining IP networking, software-defined media processing, and cloud-ready orchestration, a DMF enables broadcasters to dynamically allocate resources, scale operations, and adapt rapidly to changing production demands.
The internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), providing a structured framework for identifying risks, implementing security controls, and continuously improving information security processes. Certification demonstrates a systematic and documented approach to protecting sensitive data and mitigating cybersecurity risks across IP-based and software-defined environments.
Two complementary security practices that protect data throughout its entire lifecycle: encryption at rest secures stored data on disks, databases, and backups, while encryption in transit prevents interception and tampering as data moves across IP networks. Together, a foundational pillar of cybersecurity for software-defined and distributed broadcast environments.
An EBU recommendation defining best practices for cybersecurity across broadcast and media systems, covering governance, risk management, and incident response. A practical framework for broadcasters building secure, resilient IP-based and software-defined production infrastructures.
A controlled security assessment in which specialists simulate real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and networks. A proactive approach to validating defenses and understanding the true security posture of IP-based broadcast infrastructures before threats materialize.
A cryptographic protocol that encrypts data in transit to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and authentication across IP networks. Essential for securing APIs, management interfaces, and system-to-system communication in software-defined and cloud-connected broadcast environments.
A network authentication protocol that centralizes authentication, authorization, and accounting for users accessing network devices and systems. A robust solution for enforcing role-based access control and maintaining detailed audit trails across IP-based and mission-critical broadcast infrastructures.
A cybersecurity model built on the principle "never trust, always verify," requiring continuous authentication and authorization for every access request regardless of location. Particularly relevant for IP-based, cloud-enabled, and distributed broadcast environments where traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient.
The set of methods and technologies used to protect audio, video, and data streams transmitted over IP networks, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity while meeting broadcast requirements for low latency and high reliability. A critical component of modern distributed and cloud-connected production workflows.
Two foundational cybersecurity processes that together control access to systems and data: authentication verifies identity, authorization defines permitted actions. Combined with accounting under the AAA framework, they provide a complete model for securing access to IP-based and software-defined broadcast infrastructures.
A security model that assigns permissions to predefined roles rather than individuals, ensuring users access only what their responsibilities require. A structured and scalable approach to managing secure access across complex, IP-based, and software-defined broadcast environments.
