Who should attend this seminar?
This seminar series is appropriate for anyone who is working with IT systems and AV content. However, it is primarily geared to the Broadcast Professional. The series assumes that attendees have a modest amount of IT networking experience, but that their primary field of expertise is AV systems. The series will introduce best practices for IT systems that will be used to carry AV content. For this reason, this seminar may also be of interest to seasoned IT Professionals who are now being called upon to build systems specifically to transport AV content.

Session 3 - NETWORK AND MEDIA CONTENT SECURITY
( Archived - Register to view the recording )
Speaker: Brad Gilmer / Cisco - Neville Wheeler & Robert Welch
Network security
Broadcasters face a difficult decision when implementing IT technology. On the one hand, production network users demand access to local network services and the Internet. On the other hand, management demands that mission-critical operations be 100% bullet proof. This section describes best practices for building efficient networks while maintaining a high level of security from network-based threats.
- Find out the types of network threats - both internal and external
- Learn about firewalls and other security technology
- Detection and response - discovering a breach and repairing it
Digital media content security, planning and putting it all together
Speaker: Brad Gilmer / Avid - Pete Balkus
Worms, viruses, and other malicious code can wreak havoc on your critical IT-based systems. Operators can unintentionally create security problems without realizing what they have done. This section describes best practices to address security from the desktop and application level.
- What are the threats, how do they propagate, what steps can you take to protect from and limit threats?
- Access vs. protection: Learn the best practices to avoid problems while meeting users' needs
- Putting it all together: the successful digital media network
