CDSA

At the April 13 Content Protection Summit, being held in Las Vegas during the NAB Show, Ben Schofield, technical director of the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA), and Keith Ritlop, industry consultant and a former technology leader with Disney, Amazon, and NBCUniversal, will present the session “Facilitating Best Practice for Production Identity.”

This CDSA working group, which comprises the identity practice leaders from the major streamers and studios, has focused on developing common best practice for production identity. This has had an immediate impact on helping streamline the onboarding and offboarding of crew and vendors, creating the principles for managing consistent roles and permissions across the most popular stack of applications and giving control of changes to core media assets through the creative lifecycle.

The group will discuss projects that will save them millions of dollars a year and allow agility in an area that has historically been a production delay.

Attendees of the CPS event will hear from experts on crucial M&E security topics surrounding protecting against insider threats, standards for locking out live event piracy, the importance of risk management assessments, and best practices for production crew identity and onboarding/offboarding. And the increasingly impactful role of AI on security will be front and center, as the industry grapples with its benefits and consequences.

CPS is presented by Fortinet, with sponsorship by AMD, Convergent, Digital Silence, NAGRA, Prime Focus Technologies, Eluv.io and EIDR, in association with the NAB Show. The event is produced by MESA and the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA).
