Cybersecurity in Media Workflows: A Key Focus at IBC 2025
As the media industry rapidly embraces IP-based infrastructure and cloud systems, cybersecurity has become one of the most urgent challenges. With IBC 2025 around the corner, this conversation is taking center stage, and Axle AI is proud to be part of it.
In a recent IBC 2025 Preview article by NewscastStudio, industry leaders weighed in on the expanding threat landscape and the critical need for new approaches to security. Traditional perimeter defenses are no longer enough, especially as modern media workflows involve numerous interconnected systems.
Growing Risks in Media Infrastructure
Experts warn that as media companies migrate to IP-based systems, their exposure to cyber threats increases. With the rise of generative AI-driven attacks and the complexity of distributed workflows, the possibility of a high-impact cybersecurity incident looms larger than ever.
Why Zero Trust Matters
One of the key recommendations highlighted in the article is a zero-trust approach to security. Instead of relying solely on network perimeters, companies must ensure that every device, node, and switch is properly protected. This system-wide mindset is essential for safeguarding modern production and distribution infrastructures.
The Skills Gap
Technology alone isn’t the full answer. Many media organizations lack sufficient cybersecurity expertise within their teams. Upskilling and collaboration across the industry are becoming critical to addressing vulnerabilities and preparing for future challenges.
Axle AI’s Perspective
Our CEO, Sam Bogoch, contributed to the discussion by emphasizing the importance of hybrid cloud approaches that balance scalability with data sovereignty:
“The industry needs more flexible, open solutions that respect data sovereignty on premise, while still enabling the power of AI software tools and remote access.” – Sam Bogoch, CEO, Axle AI
This vision aligns closely with Axle AI’s mission: enabling organizations to leverage AI for media workflows while maintaining security and control over their assets.
Looking Ahead to IBC 2025
As we prepare for IBC 2025, it’s clear that cybersecurity is not optional — it’s foundational to the future of media technology. We’re excited to be part of the conversation and to share how Axle AI solutions empower teams to stay efficient, collaborative, and secure.
