HITS

The industry — and the public at large — is invited May 2 to an online discussion around the Trusted Partner Network, the new industrywide content security initiative being undertaken by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA).

Beginning at 11 a.m. PT, the webinar — “Introducing the Trusted Partner Network: One Industry, One Audit” — executives from the joint venture will share how TPN is geared toward helping the industry prevent leaks and security breaches of content prior to its intended release date, by providing vendors with a voluntary and cost-saving way to have the preparedness of their facilities, staffs and workflows assessed.

From script through post production to distribution, and everywhere in-between, film and TV vendors will now be able to reduce the number of often-duplicative content owner audits they undergo per year, many of which are now based on contradictory security controls.

Using TPN, it’s expected that the film and TV industry will elevate the security standards and responsiveness of the vendor community, while greatly expanding the number of facilities that can be assessed annually.

Attendees will hear from executives who have developed and will manage this industry initiative, about how TPN works, the goals behind the collaboration and the benefits content owners and vendors will gain from the program.

Guy Finley, executive director of CDSA and CEO of TPN will moderate, and will be joined by Kurt Fischer, director of content security for MPAA and COO of TPN; and Ben Stanbury, chairman of CDSA and CTO of TPN.
