Has technology transformation actually made the media industry more secure?
In the latest episode of the DPP podcast, we catch up with research contributors and subject matter experts to explore some of the key findings and themes from the DPP report The State of Media Technology Security 2024. Are technology vendors being too bullish when assessing their own level of cyber security, and are media companies being unfair in the somewhat unfavourable views of their suppliers?
Hear insight from industry experts from Ross Video , Google , Friend MTS , and European Broadcasting Union (EBU) about The State of Media Technology Security 2024.
The DPP podcast is supported by Ateliere Creative Technologies , a leading provider of media supply chain solutions.
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
"It doesn't matter how many features your product has if you're off-air or being 'ransomwared' because you don't have any security. You can't focus on one to the exclusion of the other, you need a balance."
— John Naylor , Ross Video
Ross Video's VP of Product Security, John Naylor, was a key contributor to the DPP report The State of Media Technology Security 2024 and shared some of his insight during the latest episode of the DPP podcast.
MY CHART OF THE MONTH: Managing change is a much bigger CTO leadership challenge than technology project delivery
Which of the following are the greatest CTO challenges at your media organisation?
In November we will publish the inaugural DPP Media CTO Survey 2024, which is based on an analysis of the technology strategies and investment priorities of 26 leading Chief Technology Officers at major media, broadcasting and entertainment organisations.
One of the preliminary findings is that Media CTOs report change management is a far bigger leadership challenge then delivering tech projects — how will this be reflected in conversations and themes at the upcoming DPP Leaders' Briefing 2024?
The DPP Media CTO Survey 2024 is supported by Lead Sponsor Cognizant , and Expert Sponsors SDVI Corporation and Signiant .

Unprecedented M&A, lack of commissioning, overcapacity, and challenged business models, make for a swirling backdrop for this conference. It’s a confluence of thought leadership from both the client and supply sides of the industry I can’t wait.
