CDSA: Content Delivery & Security Association
We are the international association for those involved in any and every facet of the media supply chain, that create or handle content in any way, across all of Media & Entertainment. Founded in 1970, Content Delivery & Security Association (CDSA) members include most of the major content producers, as well as many of the partners across the media lifecycle and ecosystem. We are a community of “operators and do-ers”. One key differentiator between us and other associations is our strong focus on our “community”, and connecting all of us across the industry. We always say we are more friends than colleagues, and find that members stay members…even if they change companies. We have four primary value elements: Working Groups: Members form an effort around specific security issues, typically held virtually; Events: We hold in-person Summits each year around the world. We start the year in London in February for localisation, Las Vegas in April for NAB, Amsterdam in September for IBC, and our tent-pole event held in in Los Angeles in early December for content protection; Our ME-ISAC: where we can come together for critical matters of Threats and Incident Response, with cross-industry links to other ISAC’s and government agencies; and Communications: Our Wednesday weekly newsletter covers topical events that members can leverage to distribute information to the community/industry Events & Receptions: - Localisation, London, April - NAB, Las Vegas, April - IBC, Amsterdam, September - Content Protection, Los Angeles, December - UK Security Council, quarterly meetings Leadership/Officers: Chairman: Ben Stanbury – chairman@CDSAonline.org President: Richard Atkinson – ratkinson@CDSAonline.org Executive Director: Guy Finley – gfinley@CDSAonline.org Technical Director: Ben Schofield – bschofield@CDSAonline.org Office of the Secretariat/General Inquiries: secretariat@CDSAonline.org
