KEYNOTE: Defending Against Disinformation and Social Media Manipulation
We’ve heard a lot about Russian interference in US democracy — how that government and its troll armies are using paid advertisements and viral propaganda to influence American hearts and minds. Now new adversaries are using the same tactics to attack entertainment brands, target journalists, and manipulate the media. How can news and entertainment protect themselves and their consumers?

Limitless Creativity (Secure and on Schedule) in the Cloud
Join us for an exploration of secure content workflows in the cloud. Using tools embraced by top studios and broadcasters, both artists and editors can take advantage of near limitless scale and creative control. When you add Microsoft devices such as the Surface Studio and Surface Book, creativity is unbounded, while cloud-based analytics and artificial intelligence services for image and audio recognition help you get the most out of your production schedule.

Securing Your Pre-Release Workflow in the Cloud
A leak of pre-release content disrupts a content owner’s marketing activities and has a significant impact on theatrical and home entertainment revenue. With the content industry now moving its post-production workflows and distribution of premium content to cloud or hybrid cloud environments, it has become essential to have all content security tools also available in the cloud. Forensic watermarking is a key component in the security toolset used to trace any leak back to its source, and vital in the content industry’s battle to protect their creative work and sustain investments in original content. This presentation will show that forensic watermarking, long deployed on-premises, is now also easily deployed in cloud workflows for post-production, screening and online distribution.
Gabriel Cantin, Product Manager, Nagra
Introduction by: Alain Durand, Executive Board Member, Digital Watermarking Alliance
4:45 – 5:15 p.m.

Session participants talk about lessons learned and ways our industry can improve the overall level of security awareness in our industry.

Industry Update: Introducing the Trusted Partner Network
The Trusted Partner Network (TPN) is a new, industry-wide content security initiative that helps prevent leaks, breaches and hacks of film & television content prior to their intended release and while they are being worked on by a growing, international ecosystem of third-party vendors. A joint venture between the MPAA and CDSA, the TPN provides vendors with a voluntary and cost-saving way to have the security preparedness of their facilities, staffs and workflows assessed to industry best practices and by accredited and experienced assessors and consultants. From script through post production to distribution, and everywhere in-between, film & television 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. Through the TPN, it is expected that the film & television industry will elevate the security standards and responsiveness of the vendor community, while greatly expanding the number of facilities that can be assessed annually. In this closing session, you’ll learn from the executives who have developed and will manage this important industry initiative about how TPN works, the goals behind the collaboration and the benefits content owners and vendors will gain from the program.
