Consumer identity access management pre-integrations with 500+ networks, services, MVPDs and platforms slashes rollout times for new content deals and launches

BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Synacor today announced the Cloud ID™ Media Connect managed consumer identity access management (“CIAM”) service to fast track streaming ecosystem deployments amid a heavily fragmented viewing market. Cloud ID Media Connect can save streaming media companies months or even years of authentication integration work required to connect streaming services to various platforms. The new offering, which is pre-integrated with more than 500 networks, services, MVPDs and platforms, comes as changing business models, more complex deals and a continued wave of new content providers upend streaming market dynamics.

As the streaming market matures, more content is being distributed to more platforms. Deals are often made on the fly with urgent rollout requirements. More content providers are entering the market with no prior experience navigating an increasingly splintered ecosystem. At the same time, security requirements are more pressing than ever, demanding SAML or OAuth integrations that can each take weeks or months to complete and require ongoing support and maintenance. This is further complicated by many providers not offering standard authentication endpoints, requiring custom API integrations. It is not uncommon for content providers to support a dozen or more platform integrations at a time, and some MVPDs or streaming TV providers must accommodate literally thousands of combinations of content provider apps and streaming platforms.

Based on more than a decade of experience managing comprehensive authentication integrations for premium entertainment services, Cloud ID Media Connect delivers a reliable, managed CIAM solution that is now pre-integrated with more than 500 content distributors, platforms and MVPDs, including…

The tempo of cyberattacks against Ukrainian critical infrastructure has intensified this year – the second year in which Kyiv is fending off a Russian war of conquest.

In the first 10 month of this year, Ukraine’s national computer emergency response team, CERT-UA, logged 2,054 cyber incidents, compared to 2,194 for the entirety of 2022, said Viktor Zhora, deputy chairman of Ukraine’s State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection. Three-quarters of the incidents involved civilian infrastructure, Zhora told a cybersecurity conference in Dublin on Thursday.


Hackers’ top goals are to steal information on the disposition of forces, infiltrate organizations that provide critical infrastructure services and steal people’s personal information from organizations across a number of sectors, including insurance and healthcare, said Zhora, who addressed the IRISSCON conference, held by IRISSCERT – short for the Irish Reporting and Information Security Service – via video link.


Since Russia launched an all-out invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the most dangerous hacking incidents have typically traced to Russia’s GRU military intelligence group, he said. The greatest number of attacks this year appear to have been launched by the Federal Security…

Russians using mobile crematorium to cover ‘their tracks’: Ukrainian officials

/in


The Mariupol City Council alleged that Russian forces are using a mobile crematorium to cover up their actions in the southeastern port city of Ukraine.

Mariupol possesses strategic importance to Russia because it is situated between the Crimean Peninsula, which has been occupied by Moscow since 2014, and the breakaway Ukrainian regions in the eastern part of the country that has a pro-Russian separatist faction. As a result, the city has faced some of the most brutal Russian war tactics since the invasion began on Feb. 24.

“The killers are covering their tracks,” the council said in social media posts on Wednesday, adding that they are utilizing “mobile crematoriums.”

FORMER MARIUPOL RESIDENT ‘CAN’T DESCRIBE THE HORROR’ SHE WITNESSED IN UKRAINE

“Russia’s top leadership ordered the destruction of any evidence of crimes committed by its army in Mariupol,” the council added, referencing the widespread condemnation after the report of hundreds of civilians being buried in a mass grave and others being shot and killed with their wrists tied in Bucha. The reports sparked an outcry of war crimes allegations.

A senior U.S. defense official could not confirm the council’s allegations.

Prior to the reporting of the massacre in Bucha, Russian forces shelled a maternity hospital in Mariupol, bombed a Mariupol theater that had been serving as a shelter, even though inhabitants had spelled out the word “children” in Russian in the front and back of the facility, and bombed a school that was housing hundreds of people in the city.

As of Tuesday, more than 1,560 civilians have been killed in Ukraine, whereas more than 2,200 have been wounded, according to the United Nations, though it warns that the death toll is likely “considerably higher,” considering the difficulty of wartime casualty tallying.

It’s unclear how much higher the toll could be, but a spokesperson for Mariupol’s Mayor Vadym Boichenko said late last month that nearly 5,000 people, including about 210 children, have been killed in the city alone since Russia’s invasion.
