The State of Media Technology Security 2024, a report published by the DPP in September 2024, reveals the measures media companies and technology providers are taking to protect themselves, their partners, and the broader entertainment and broadcasting ecosystem. Ultimately, are all parts of the media supply chain taking the right cyber security steps — and what do they think of the security posture and practices of their customers and suppliers?
In this episode of the DPP podcast we catch up with research contributors and subject matter experts to explore some of the report's key findings: are technology vendors being too bullish when assessing their own level of cyber security, and are media companies being unfair in the somewhat unfavourable views of their suppliers?

Is content commissioning and scheduling an art or a science? We catch up with product management and marketing experts from Mediagenix to hear about the company's 'human-in-the-loop' approach to product strategy and development, and how the organisation works with customers to balance the art and the science of media technology implementations.
We also cover the major challenges facing media businesses today, what broadcasters can learn from feeding over 700 parameters into a model to predict audience engagement and content performance (and indeed what exactly wind speed in Netherlands has to do with all this), and we explore the key characteristics of good tech deployments, healthy customer-vendor relationship, and how to facilitate a real co-development partnership.

The DPP 2024 Predictions report published in February 2024 reveals an industry striving to achieve a position of complete technical, commercial and business flexibility — able to respond to whatever challenges might come next for media, entertainment, technology and broadcasting organisations. And that viewpoint isn’t dreamt up by the DPP themselves, but developed by 30 expert practitioners who debate, vote on and co-create statements about the state of the industry.
But is it actually delusional to aspire to reach such a position of infinite flexibility? Zixi CEO Gordon Brooks and Warner Bros. Discover Sports Technology Lead, Darren Long, came on the DPP podcast to explore industry trends, investigate why there are fewer predictions about specific technologies taking off in media, discuss the impact artificial intelligence will have on our work, and share what there is to be most excited by in the sector.
