At the Dec. 5 Content Production Summit (CPS), presented by the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), Sam Bahun, VP of sales for the Americas at Friend MTS, will tackle one of the toughest content protection challenges the industry faces today.

In the morning session “Broadening the Spectrum of Protecting Live Content (Part II)” Bahun will analyze the challenge from different perspectives across our industry, and how it all comes together when you have mere moments (seconds, even) to detect fraudulent streams. A critical factor is identifying their routes and getting them terminated, in ways that drive consumers to the licensed channels and away from the pirates.

Later in the morning, in “This Time it Matters: The Grand Convergence Underpinning AI” Richard Atkinson, president of CDSA, and Benjamin Toombs, manager of DTC fraud prevention for Warner Bros. Discovery and co-chair of the CDSA AI Working Group, will touch on the breadth of AI, while also providing a perspective on how to embrace the opportunities and not to be fearful or reactive.

There is a true revolution going on across all industries around the world. AI represents an incredible opportunity as it is being leveraged by just about every aspect of technology and life in general … and while there are amazing gains there are also many terrifying threats and nefarious uses of the technology.

“Where Security and AI Collide” is the theme of the Content Production Summit, the premiere gathering of the top security and asset protection minds in the M&E industry. The full-day event at the Culver Theatre in Culver City will see industry stakeholders mingle with counterparts, demo the latest offerings from top Hollywood vendors, and watch presentations, with an emphasis on the intersection of AI and security.

Keynotes, panel discussions, and technology showcases are designed to offer senior-level content and information security experts the key information around the latest in content protection across the entire supply chain for entertainment. Production security, post-production workflows and the growing ecosystems of platforms and connectivity that are driving the secure content creation and distribution process. Additionally, anti-piracy and IP protection will be covered as our industry works collaboratively to secure our most important assets.

Produced by MESA, the Content Production Summit is presented by Fortinet, and sponsored by Convergent Risks, Friend MTS, Amazon Studios Technology, Indee, NAGRA, EIDR, and Eluv.io, in association with CDSA and the Hollywood IT Society (HITS).
