The document discusses the digital security challenges faced by media and entertainment companies as the industry shifts from closed proprietary systems to open digital platforms. It notes that the open nature of digital networks introduces new threats and attack surfaces. Additionally, the increased value of digital assets like user data and analytics makes companies richer targets. Finally, it lists specific challenges such as protecting content across the supply chain, managing device and data security, and meeting privacy requirements while using personal data.

3. DIGITAL FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGES THE SECURITY LANDSCAPE
New threats: Open networks with consumer owned devices can be
attacked in fundamentally different ways than closed networks and
proprietary devices. New attack surface, for example new systems such as
a content or analytics supply chain. Cloud computing changes both
threats and attack surface.
New classes of attackers: Due to all of these factors. The
richer targets and increased impact provide motive, while the new
threats and attack surface offer the opportunity.
Impact: It changes in nature and magnitude as
loss or compromise of digital assets more directly
impacts the digital business.
Richer targets: There are more digital assets – such as
analytics data, personal user data, content. And they’re of
increasing value and susceptible to attack.
