GEC NEWS WIRETo protect intellectual property, digital content and reputation in light of high profile media breaches
StarLink has noted a surge in security projects in the Media vertical in the Middle East in 2015.
Since media products are in high demand and completely digital, there is a high risk of being breached with sensitive data being leaked. There are many well-known examples of high profile media breaches that have caused reputational damage. News organizations in particular are increasingly popular targets for hacktivists and attack groups loyal to a particular nation or cause.
“With our Channel Partners, we have been involved in multiple large Media security deployments this year, helping organizations in the industry to implement better next-generation-threat detection technology, security operations centers, and best-of-breed incident response tools” said Nidal Othman, Managing Director of StarLink.
Avinash Advani, VP Business Strategy at StarLink added, “A data breach for a Media company can not only hurt the organization’s reputation, but it can bring business operations to a standstill incurring huge costs due to downtime. Media organizations are constantly in the spotlight and therefore they must ensure that they identify critical assets and put in place a defense-in-depth, multi-layered security architecture for the protection of users, networks, applications and data.”
