Cyberattacks: STRYME keeps you safe and on air posted: 27/04/2018
CASE STUDY ORF - IT security
STRYME has forged ahead once more and devised a powerful security package and antivirus protection for its flagship product, the GENESIX VideoServer. Additionally, all data, information and assets are saved concurrently to the redundant backup, mirroring the entire system's current status. In Austria, ORF no longer worries about cyberattacks.
ORF relies on STRYME's GENESIX VideoServer security
STRYME and the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) enjoy a long-standing partnership. ORF serves about 5 million monthly viewers alone via its two main channels ORF1 and ORF2. Meeting high-level international security standards has always been a prime objective. STRYME has met this objective since day one.
Given a strong convergence in international TV productions and the increasing number of cyber threats over the past few years, ORF and STRYME adopted a proactive stance to tackle these challenges.They stepped up IT security, implemented patch managements on quarterly basis as well as a country-wide escalation matrix, and adapted both structures and the organization to the rapidly changing environment and industry standards. To further boost server protection, STRYME's IT experts developed a brand-new future-proof solution: a security package with an integrated antivirus software made by STRYME.
At ORF, we have been using systems based on GENESIX VideoServers for years and greatly value the peace of mind that comes with their reliability and security. One example is the playout that we have been operating at our 9 provincial broadcasting studios since 2003. Thanks to STRYME and their strategic foresight, we have to date successfully fended off even the slightest hint of an attack on these systems, says Andreas Bauer, ORF's Head of Maintenance and Support. Thinking about the future, we wanted to be even better prepared. Besides operational issues, preventing economic loss has been a top priority when we asked STRYME to take our IT security to a new level. Their system keeps us safe and on air.
STRYME Security Package
To boost resilience of a system run on a GENESIX VideoServer, STRYME uses a hardened Windows system, daily update cycles and its in-house antivirus software. This specially developed antivirus software is both a standard and unique feature of the security package. It provides the best possible protection without interfaces and without impacting the performance of the GENESIX VideoServer or the systems run on it.
What's more, the GENESIX VideoServer and its redundant back-up system operate within a secure network, not in the public domain of the Internet. If required, an exact replica of the system, including the current status of all data, information and assets is readily available. To ensure this high security standard, STRYME recommends its Elite Care Pack, complete with level 3 support.
We are the very first company in the industry to tackle cyber risks with a security package as a standard feature of the GENESIX VideoServer, states STRYME CEO Goce Zdravkoski and adds: It is an extremely resistant and future-proof solution that keeps threats at bay. To maintain this high security level, we keep track of the latest developments and constantly improve and update our systems and the antivirus software. I am proud to say that to date none of the GENESIX VideoServers operated by ORF have ever been hacked.
