Presented by Randall Heer, CEO and Co-Founder at Vista Studios
This presentation features a case study of the live, global broadcast of a 2-hour episode of WE tv’s Growing Up Hip Hop (WE tv is owned and operated by AMC Networks Inc.). Vista Studios combined traditional studio production expertise with live-audience interaction via phone in, Skype and social media platforms to produce and broadcast this unscripted, compelling ‘reunion’ episode. This approach is highly cost effective compared to using remote trucks and crews. Vista also discusses use of its new dark fiber capacity to enhance the distribution process.

‘Meltdown’ and ‘Spectre’ guidance
Created: 04 Jan 2018 Guidance for enterprise administrators in relation to the recently published processor vulnerabilities ‘Meltdown’ and ‘Spectre’ What are Meltdown/Spectre? 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' are two related, side-channel attacks against modern CPU microprocessors that can result in unprivileged code reading data it should not be able to. [bctt tweet="'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' are two related, side-channel attacks against modern CPU microprocessors that can result in unprivileged code reading data it should not be able to - 'Meltdown' and 'Spectre' guidance, IABM"] Most devices - from smartphones to hardware in data centres - may be vulnerable to some extent. Vendors are working on (or have already released) patches to mitigate the issue. The NCSC advise you to patch your devices as soon as possible. What are the vulnerabilities? Processors in most devices employ a range of techniques to speed up their operation. The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities allow some of these techniques to be abused, in order to obtain information about areas of memory not normally visible to an attacker. This could include secret keys or other sensitive data. These vulnerabilities comprise: Spectre (bounds check bypass and branch target injection): CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715 Meltdown (rogue data cache load): CVE-2017-5754 For more...
