Newsrooms and Automation

by Carl Herberger

Cyber-attacks and data breaches routinely make headlines in the largest publications and broadcasts in the world. Millions have read and watched as news journalists explain exactly what had happened during the Proton Mail attack or the BBC hack. The access and manipulation that can happen when communication outlets are targeted is a very real and dangerous issue.

This issue, however, is complicated by the unique operating environments of these cyber-attack targets. Multiple locations, countless access points and very motivated attackers all contribute to the complex task of network protection. As cyber-attacks become more automated and more sophisticated, the adaptability of security professionals is paramount.
