A complex and rapidly changing environment has dramatically increased the importance of security and governance in digital signage implementations. As organizations shift towards cloud-based solutions, a holistic approach to governance that integrates security measures into daily routines and creates a security culture is required. In the on-demand webinar below, Chris Devlin, president of Omnivex, and Doug Freutel, vice president and visionary at Radiant Technology, discuss current market trends, the increasing importance of security and governance, and best practices for organizations navigating the complex digital signage landscape.

Key insights:

Evolving Security Landscape 

Increased network complexity and data integration are requiring organizations to improve the security of their digital signage networks to avoid incidents and downtime. Security is no longer just the responsibility of a few; it must evolve into an integrated and holistic strategy where security is a priority for everyone and part of the organizational culture.

Cloud Adoption vs. Data Sensitivity

The push towards cloud-based solutions has introduced new data security and compliance challenges. It is essential for organizations to evaluate their readiness for the cloud and ensure they have data governance practices in place to protect sensitive data. This shift is critical due to the increasing use of data-driven content and the need to comply with regulations.

Governance Framework 

Implementing a dedicated governance framework for digital signage allows organizations to balance security needs with operational efficacy. The framework should encompass roles, responsibilities, and access management while integrating monitoring practices that can adapt as technology evolves.

Risk Management Culture 

Organizations should incorporate a risk management methodology that is more than a checkbox exercise. They need an evolving set of practices informing daily operations. This includes regular assessments, audits, and fostering a culture of awareness and quick responsiveness.

Stakeholder Engagement 

Stakeholders across departments must collaborate to create a comprehensive governance structure for the organization's digital signage network. It is important for individuals involved in executing the digital signage strategies to share insights and make every level aware of security implications and protocols.

Auditing and Monitoring 

Organizations should ensure they have continuous monitoring processes and conduct annual audits to manage security vulnerabilities effectively. Tools and resources should be utilized to identify and resolve issues before they escalate, promoting stakeholder reliability and trust.
