today announced that its November meeting will focus on cybersecurity.
Today, Hollywood faces growing and
increasingly complex security threats. “New digital workflows and the expanding
use of cloud-based storage, mobile devices, and social media have changed the
way entertainment industry companies conduct business, and they have also made
these companies more vulnerable to cyber-attack, whether for financial gain
or political motivations,” said Marty Meyer, chair of the SMPTE Hollywood
Section. “It is imperative for engineers to develop and implement effective security strategies
proactively.”
