In light of recent cybersecurity events in the broadcast industry,
Belden companies Tripwire and Grass Valley offer integrated broadcast
and security technology for secure and reliable content delivery as the
industry moves toward IP technology.
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As the broadcast industry modernizes to benefit from the increased
connectivity through IP technology, the need for integrated security
continues to increase. Digital assets such as video files, graphics, and
data now move freely across IP networks, making them more vulnerable to
individuals outside the previously closed, proprietary broadcast
workflow chain. To address this need, Grass Valley and Tripwire,
both Belden Brands, offer broadcast technology with integrated security
features.
“Our company is in a unique position to support the modernization of the
broadcast industry. Having both leading broadcast and cybersecurity
companies under the same roof, we can integrate solutions that meet the
needs of broadcasters today and in the future,” said John Stroup,
President, CEO, and Chairman of Belden. “We can help broadcasters
realize the benefits of IP, while embedding cybersecurity best practices
to protect our customers’ valuable digital assets.”
The integration strategy follows a simple three-step principle: secure
the network; secure the servers; secure the dedicated broadcast
equipment. Grass Valley has applied this to its iTX
Integrated Playout platform and plans to extend this to the rest of the
Grass Valley portfolio.
The integrated secure broadcast solutions leverage Tripwire® IP360™,
a vulnerability and risk management solution, providing complete
visibility into the enterprise network, including all networked devices
and their associated operating systems, applications and
vulnerabilities. This provides a key foundational control for effective
security risk management.
The integrated solutions maintain security across the network, offering
advanced threat detection to ensure broadcast systems are protected
against new threats. The iTX Playout platform was the first in the
broadcast industry verified to integrate with Tripwire security
solutions.
