Silicon Valley Video Addresses Securing a Remote Video Workforce on Feb. 17

SVG’s Silicon Valley Video Initiative has announced its next virtual event, addressing the security challenges being faced by corporate video departments that are now shuttling proprietary video files between the home, the cloud, and the studio. The February 17 discussion (5pm PST, 8 pm EST) will feature an open discussion between Chris Taylor, Director of Security for Skydance Media and Director of ME-ISAC, and Joel Sloss, Sr. Program Manager, Microsoft Azure M&E Security & Compliance.

The two speakers will address the best practices being used to secure a remote video production workforce. How compliance programs are adapting to this change. And how production in the cloud is providing an added layer of security (and its own challenges) to these distributed workflows. The session will encourage Q&A and open-mic conversation. It is sponsored by Advanced Systems Group (ASG) and The Studio-B&H.

Our session leaders are long-time, media & entertainment industry security experts:

Taylor is the head of security for Skydance Media, a multi-media studio that produces both live and animated features and episodic TV shows, sports content, and video games. He is also the founder and head of the Media & Entertainment Information Sharing and Analysis Center, the ME-ISAC, which is an intel fusion center and sharing community that enables media companies to collaborate on shared security issues.

Sloss works in the Microsoft Azure global industry engineering team and focuses on security for content production workflows. This has included working with artists, producers, studios, standards groups, and others to help protect creative assets when doing post-production in the cloud. He has been on the CDSA Board of Directors since 2017.
