Abstract: 

As the media industry rapidly evolves, so must the security model to protect it. As we rapidly embrace digital platforms for delivering content, we open new risk surface. As we evolve to a modern cloud-first architecture to deliver content and collaborate globally at scale, the notion of perimeters start to change. We need to protect our content in this complex environment. But we are a company of creatives and consumers with people who naturally have a high expectation for excellent user experience which increases as consumer technology gets so easy to use, so our approach can't be about walls and gates or they will find aways around them. This talk will cover how we position security within the overall enterprise to protect our crown jewels while also delivering platforms employees want to use.
