Protect and Serve - Securing content

Tue, Sep 22, 2015 | by Merav Cunningham

Over the course of IBC2015 we ran two panels on our stand investigating some of the most pressing issues the industry faces. The second panel, ‘Protect and Serve: Securing content and satisfying customers in a multiscreen world’ was chaired by Ovum’s Rob Gallagher and examined how broadcasters can provide customers with the services they need while continually securing content in an atmosphere where piracy is constantly evolving and innovating in turn. Read more about the background of the panel and why it’s such an important one to be holding at this time here. Participating were: Chem Assayag EVP Sales and Business Development at Viaccess-Orca, Rob Gallagher, Director Research & Analysis Media & Entertainment at Ovum, Ron Paans, Technical Director at M7 Group and Kieren Portley, Vice President, Studio and Spanish Production at ESPN.
