There was an interesting panel session in the main conference this morning - "Safety in Numbers" - about cybersecurity risks to the broadcast chain, but in this case primarily at the production end.  Interestingly there didn't seem to be any recognition of the industry bodies set up to tackle piracy (another form of cyber attack of course) at the broadcast / distribution end and people seemed rather over optimistic over how much progress has really been made in securing studio assets.  Many of us (corroborated by some of my discussions on the floor of the exhibition today) certainly share this view!  What do others think?  I'll put in a short entry in the discussions area to see who else would like to contribute to this discussion.


The IET also held a panel discussion this afternoon on trends in broadcasting and what is coming as we move into a post traditional broadcasting world.  The Best of IBC journal was also launched at that event and Naomi Climer presented the IET's Best Young Professional Award to Jaclyn Pytlarz of Dolby Laboratories, who had also been one of the discussion panel members.
