Comprehensive Cybersecurity Asset Management and Security
Media and Communications Cybersecurity
Telecommunications and media companies form the digital backbone of today’s hyperconnected world. But as they scale to support 5G, streaming services, and interconnected content ecosystems, they’re also expanding their attack surface at an unprecedented rate. Cyber exposure management in this sector is complex, dynamic, and high-stakes, requiring visibility, speed, and precision across sprawling networks and diverse devices.
Exploding Attack Surfaces from 5G and Edge Infrastructure
With the rollout of 5G, telecom providers are rapidly expanding their infrastructure footprint introducing thousands of edge computing nodes, small cells, and IoT endpoints. Each of these elements increases the attack surface and requires real-time visibility and contextual understanding to manage risk. Traditional vulnerability management tools weren’t built for the scale, speed, or diversity of these assets.
Convergence of Media, Data, and Distribution Systems
Media organizations are no longer just content creators, they’re tech companies operating complex digital supply chains that include third-party platforms, cloud-based production pipelines, remote teams, and consumer-facing apps. This convergence blurs the line between internal and external risk, with sensitive data and intellectual property moving across multiple environments. Without continuous cyber exposure management, it’s nearly impossible to prioritize and remediate risks before attackers exploit them.
Regulatory Pressures and Real-Time Uptime Demands
Both telecom and media companies operate under strict regulations, including FCC compliance, GDPR, and regional data sovereignty mandates. A single vulnerability can compromise customer privacy or disrupt services at scale. The challenge lies in aligning security operations with compliance mandates while avoiding performance degradation.
