NAB 2017: Machine Learning and Cyber Threats; Studios Close to Early VOD - Media & Entertainment Services Alliance

Murali Rao, global head of cybersecurity and risk consulting for Wipro, is sympathetic to those charged with mitigating cyber threats inside media and entertainment organizations. Too often they don't have all the necessary data needed to find out what went wrong, or predict what can go wrong. "It's like asking a soldier to fight with two hands tied," he said, speaking April 26 at the NAB Show's Cybersecurity Pavilion. That's where machine learning and applied AI can be useful, or as Wipro likes to call it, a cohesive "Cognitive Cyber Defense" framework, one that can help enterprises maximize the investments they've made in cyber threat mitigation. If cyber threat analysts are to understand the threats against their organizations, they need all the tools in front of them to actually analyze what's confronting them, Rao said, and that includes gathering the necessary data from other associated stakeholders.
