Securing Content, Platforms, and Audience Trust

Media companies, broadcasters, and streaming platforms rely on digital systems to create, distribute, and monetise content. But with that reliance comes rising cyber risk.

Recent attacks in the industry have led to leaked content, platform outages, and data breaches – damaging brand reputation, delaying releases, and eroding audience trust.

In a fast-moving, high-visibility sector, protecting your content, systems, and user data is critical. While no security solution can block every threat, a strong cybersecurity strategy helps you stay resilient, minimise disruption, and keep your audience engaged and protected.

The Alarming Figures

43% of U businesses (including media forms) reported at least one cyber breach in the past year

The average cost of a breach across UK forms (excluding media specifics) is around £1,600

Phishing attacks accounted for 85% of cyber breaches in the past year

Don’t be the Next High-Profile Attack

Sony Pictures

While not recent, this remains one of the most infamous attacks. Hackers known as the “Guardians of Peace,” allegedly linked to North Korea, breached Sony Pictures’ systems and leaked sensitive data, emails, and unreleased films in retaliation for the film The Interview. Lack of proper access controls and outdated security practices were exploited. If Sony had implemented MFA or passwordless authentication, it could have reduced internal compromise by making lateral movement significantly harder.

Twitch

Owned by Amazon, Twitch was hit by a massive data breach that leaked source code, streamer payout data, and internal tools. The leak was reportedly due to a misconfigured server with no MFA enforcement on admin tools. A zero-trust approach with passwordless and context-aware access controls could have closed this loophole and prevented the breach.

Netflix

Hackers released unreleased episodes of Orange Is the New Black after Netflix allegedly refused to pay a ransom. The breach reportedly came via post-production partner Larson Studios. This supply chain attack underlines the importance of extending identity protection (like MFA and passwordless access) across vendors and partners handling sensitive media content.
