12/17/2022 0 Comments Iptv by hacker![]() ![]() ![]() I think most of the proper IPTV and digital signage vendors are taking cyber security seriously, those who deal with large scale enterprise clients. IPTV is and always has been more IT than AV, and getting more heavily so the industry is moving away from the appliance/black box approach and moving more towards software, which brings with it further need for enhanced security and encryption.ĭespite some of the horror stories in the press around cyber attacks, do you think the subject is being taken seriously enough? For me, it isn’t a surprise that the AV industry doesn’t understand this, IPTV is a bit of a new thing to many.

The world of online espionage, hacking, illegal streaming and, what I like to call, ‘digital graffiti’ has forced many AV technology companies to rethink but not all. With the dawn of IP however that has dramatically changed. ![]() It wasn’t networked, so there was no need to consider security. The cynic in me thinks the AV industry ignores security out of convenience, some because they don’t pay it enough attention, some because they can’t solve it and some because they don’t care enough. There seems to be very little written about the subject of AV and security.
