As media companies expand into new media, converge with other areas in the technology and telecommunications sectors, and cater for an international audience, they face liabilities and cyber risks that pose a greater threat than in the past.

Changes on many other fronts – including the vagaries of the global economic cycle and level of advertising spending, consumer trends, competition and regulation – have the ongoing potential to upset business plans and undermine an organisation’s future.
