Former Presidential Advisor to Keynote Dec. 16 Content Protection Summit

Roger Cressey, a cybersecurity and counter-terrorism expert who served and advised in three presidential administrations, will be the opening keynote speaker at the Dec. 16 Content Protection Summit event in Los Angeles.

His keynote — “Managing Risk in an Interconnected World is Everyone’s Responsibility” — will detail how today’s cybersecurity requirements extend beyond traditional IT networks and need to focus on individual approaches as well as corporate strategy and structure. With media and entertainment moving entirely to native digital workflows during the pandemic, interdependencies between networks, devices, and users that were impossible to predict just over a year ago have been created.

As corporate governance and expanding business units are challenged with increasingly long lists of remote-work security and privacy challenges, Cressey’s presentation looks at why the threat environment is only one part of the equation and why managing cyber risk in an interconnected world is everyone’s responsibility.

The go-to counter-terrorism analyst for NBC and the founder and CEO of personal safety organization Stiletto Agency and the founder and former president of the Good Harbor consulting group, Cressey served in senior positions under presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. The former member of the United States National Security Council staff, he also served as a foreign policy advisor to President Obama.

The Content Protection Summit — the premier gathering of the top security and asset protection minds in the M&E industry — will be held as a hybrid virtual and in-person event.

Produced by MESA and presented by IBM Security and Synamedia, the Content Protection Summit is sponsored by Convergent Risks, Richey May Technology Solutions, PacketFabric, archTIS, Code42, INTRUSION, NAGRA, StoneTurn and Vision Media.
