Protecting customer information and intellectual property and avoiding service disruptions is the name of the game for entertainment and media companies. Enhancing cybersecurity measures to proactively thwart hackers is a win-win situation for both customers and E&M providers.
The pace of change for E&M companies is extreme. Customers want on-demand delivery and content that engages them on multiple levels. Competitors want to find ways to deliver those commodities faster than anyone else. At the center of these desires is something that hackers and counterfeiters love: digital content and intellectual property.
This makes privacy and security crucial to E&M companies. If your systems can be breached, you are vulnerable to service disruptions, customer data leaks, stolen intellectual assets, and copyright infringement. Protecting data and IP from hackers and thieves is more critical to the entertainment industry, because many countries offer few legal protections from pirates and counterfeiters.
Luckily, there are many ways to enhance cybersecurity. Risk management and assessment allow companies to understand the threats they face and devise mitigation and remediation strategies that fit with business priorities. Penetration testing offers the opportunity to test digital defenses before hackers take aim. IT governance protects companies from mistakes and errors by establishing sensible and mature policies and procedures. When it comes to cyber security threats to intellectual property, prevention is the best protection.
IT risk is a major concern for any organization, public or private. To protect your data, your reputation, and your bottom line, you need an effective, dynamic IT risk management strategy.
Business leaders hesitate to invest in governance because they think of it as an optional expense. IT leaders resist governance because they assume it will result in micromanagement. However, when properly designed and implemented, IT governance makes life easier for both sides.
Your organization already has security measures in place for your IT systems, but are you sure they are protecting your systems? The majority of security breaches take months — or even years — to discover. Even with security measures in place, your systems can harbor hidden vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
