BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, 25TH OCTOBER 2024 — Cinema Technology Community (CTC), the not-for-profit independent trade organisation has released a new white paper covering Cybersecurity in Cinemas launched at the UNIC Cinema Days in Brussels.
The digital revolution has dramatically transformed the entertainment industry, including the cinema sector. Over the past two decades, traditional analog film reels have been replaced by high-quality digital files, and cinema operations now rely almost completely on integrated IT systems for ticketing, customer data management, and film distribution.
However, this reliance on technology has exposed cinemas to a wide range of cybersecurity threats. As cinemas have become increasingly interconnected, they face challenges such as piracy, data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other forms of cybercrime. Ensuring cybersecurity in cinemas is critical to protect intellectual property, safeguard customer data, and maintain operational continuity.
It is therefore essential that those within the cinema industry understand what data and systems need to be protected and why, understand the risks associated with those assets and associated data, have the right people, processes and technology controls in place and ensure that a culture of security exists not just within each individual organisation but throughout the supply chain.
This report aims to explores the state of cybersecurity in cinemas, the associated risks, potential vulnerabilities, and the strategies and solutions employed to mitigate these risks.
This new paper entitled “Cybersecurity in Cinemas: Safeguarding Digital Assets and Data” is available to CTC members and can be found by visiting www.cinema-technology.com. Cinema Technology Community continues to offer its free Community Membership as part of its continued support of the cinema industry and industry professionals can also sign up for membership on the CTC web site.
