The North American Broadcasters Association has joined Trusted Partner Network’s “Fix It or Risk It” campaign, a new initiative designed to raise cybersecurity awareness and strengthen cybersecurity practices across the broadcast media, film and entertainment industry.
“It’s increasingly important for the media industry to take cyber precautions seriously, and the Fix It or Risk It campaign helps raise that awareness for media professionals across all departments and seniority levels,” NABA Director-General Rebecca Hanson said in a release.
NABA said that its cybersecurity committee has worked to promote best practices and has released a series offree, publicly available cybersecurity recommendations over the years.
Through the partnership with TPN on Fix It or Risk It, NABA hopes to help encourage organizations across the spectrum of the entertainment industry to take action before vulnerabilities become incidents.
The campaign officially launched during the 2026 IBC Show in Amsterdam, where there were several panels, networking happy hours and other events held as part of the launch campaign.
TPN President Terri Davies was also a guest speaker at NABA’s CyberUniversity 2.0 event held at WNYC(FM) in New York on Oct. 20.
The one-day event convened cybersecurity experts from a range of industries, including broadcast and film, law enforcement, higher education and more for a day of workshops, panels, real-world case studies and actionable insights into the cybersecurity landscape broadcasters face.
