The Mission
TVNewsCheck’s Cybersecurity for Broadcasters Retreat gathers TV broadcasting’s engineering, IT and security communities to exchange information in a highly confidential setting.
The retreat features Private Information Exchanges where broadcasters can safely discuss sensitive issues in a secure environment. Targeted educational sessions and networking time round out the experience.
The 2020 retreat will open with a two-hour Incident Response Simulation of an escalating breach to the television production and distribution environment.
Participants
Technology, IT and security executives, managers and professionals working at media companies, technology providers and in allied fields.
Confidentiality
All CBR participants must sign a confidentiality agreement. Chatham House Rules will be enforced.
Agenda Highlights
Incident Response Simulation
A high-pressure, interactive exercise in which attendees break into groups to play the roles of TV managers - from engineering, IT, security and other departments, as they react, in real time, to an escalating security breach of the television production and distribution environment.
The simulation will focus specifically on staffers on the front line and how they collaborate to solve problems. Teams will experience high pressure and oversight from key stakeholders.
