In this regular series of video blogs, IABM Director of Strategic Insight and industry veteran John Ive looks at the key topics affecting the broadcast and media industry. Through specific topics and overall discussion, John will be posing questions about the future direction of the industry during these exciting and challenging times of change.

There are a handful of topics which head the list of the most discussed and security is right up there.
