AEG Digital Media and Conviva Offer Online Audiences a Front-Row Seat to a Flawless Viewing Experience for Live Events Tweet

From Internet TV Series "If I Can Dream" to High Definition Concerts, the Companies Collaborate to Deliver Clear, Crisp and Reliable Video.

LOS ANGELES and SAN MATEO, Calif. -- AEG Digital Media, the leading provider of complete webcast management, production and media services, and Conviva, Inc., a provider of advanced streaming solutions, have collaborated to deliver the best possible user experience during numerous high-profile live events. The combination of AEG Digital Media's live event production expertise with the intelligence of Conviva's streaming technology allows media companies to offer clear, crisp and reliable high-definition (HD) video.

Media companies benefit by leveraging AEG's best-in-class production and technology in concert with Conviva's continuous, real-time insights that "watch" each viewer, every second, and use inference algorithms to predict when a quality incident is about to occur. Conviva then balances two sophisticated services--mid-stream switching and multi-bitrate policy control--to pre-empt potential problems. Furthermore, Conviva offers visibility into every aspect of the online video delivery ecosystem, and can resolve issues with content delivery networks (CDNs), signal acquisition, encoding, publishers, players or local browsers. The result is a better fan experience and longer viewing times.

As the Internet becomes the venue of choice for more and more live events, fans expect video quality to be free of buffering, stuttering and interruptions. In fact, TubeMogul reported that one out of 25 streams experience a rebuffer, and more than 80 percent of viewers click away rather than wait for the video to reload(1). To that end, Conviva and AEG Digital Media set out to deliver an online experience that has the same reliable, HD quality as traditional television, but offers the flexibility to be viewed from any device.

"Quality takes center stage for online fans, especially during live events, and video that is choppy, grainy or buffers will not be tolerated," said John Petrocelli, SVP business development and sales for AEG Digital Media. "Conviva's ability to tap into what each and every viewer is watching as it happens, coupled with quick decisioning tools to pre-empt and correct issues has been invaluable in delivering the best experience to the vast number of people that have watched AEG Digital Media events online."

Conviva and AEG Digital Media worked together on the following events:

* Alicia Keys Concert: On Dec. 1, 2009, a multi-camera live concert in full HD was streamed on Sony Music's Alicia Keys channel on YouTube from AEG's Nokia Theatre in New York.


* People's Choice Awards: This annual awards show that recognizes the people and the work of popular culture was broadcast on CBS on Jan. 6


* "If I Can Dream": Created by Simon Fuller and debuted by 19 Entertainment on March 2, this Internet-only show equipped with 56 cameras follows six housemates looking to launch their creative arts, sport or fashion careers.


* Coke Zero™ Countdown Free Concert: Streamed live on Facebook and hosted by Ryan Seacrest this 2010 NCAA® Men's Final Four® live concert was held on April 3 and featured Daughtry and Country Music Association New Artist of the Year, Darius Rucker.


"With multiple high-profile projects behind us, we have seen first-hand why it makes perfect sense to combine the sophistication and real-time nature of Conviva's technology with AEG Digital Media's turnkey, no-fail multimedia solutions," said Keith Zubchevich, vice president of market development and operations, Conviva. "Without question, the better the experience, the longer a viewer watches, the more a content company stands to make a profit. Together, we put the control to drive increased viewer engagement in the hands of our customers, so they can truly realize the revenue potential of their online video businesses."

Leading Software Security Maturity Model Triples to Include More Real-World Data on Real Software Security Initiatives Tweet

BSIMM2 Details Success of 30 Leading Organizations in 7 Vertical Markets; New Advisory Board Formed to Include Software Security Luminaries.

DULLES, Va. -- Cigital, the largest consulting firm specializing in software security, announced an updated release of the "Building Security In Maturity Model" (BSIMM) study, which significantly expands the data defining benchmarks for successfully developing and growing an enterprise-wide software security initiative.

Launched in March 2009, BSIMM is the industry's first and only structured set of best practices for software security based on real-world data rather than philosophy and theory. The latest release, BSIMM2, triples the size of the original study from nine organizations to 30, across a range of seven overlapping verticals including: financial services (12), independent software vendors (7), technology firms (7), healthcare (2), insurance (2), energy (2) and media (2). BSIMM2 now reports the collective expertise of 635 people in firms with 130 years of collective experience.

Based on in-depth interviews with leading enterprises such as Adobe, Aon, Bank of America, Capital One, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), EMC, Google, Intel, Intuit, Microsoft, Nokia, QUALCOMM, Sallie Mae, Standard Life, SWIFT, Symantec, Telecom Italia, Thomson Reuters, VMware, and Wells Fargo, among others, the BSIMM2 study provides insight into 30 of the most successful software security initiatives in the world, listing daily best practices used by these organizations to build security into their software and mitigate the business risk associated with broken software.

"We are thrilled that the BSIMM study has tripled in size this past year and that the model has been widely adopted as a de facto standard across so many leading organizations," said Dr. Gary McGraw, CTO of Cigital and author of Software Security. "Securing the software that runs the modern world is a clear number one priority when you consider today's threat landscape. From cybercrime to cyber war, insecure software is a major problem. BSIMM is a powerful measuring stick used by leading firms to protect their most critical information asset--software."

"Organizations are waking up to the fact that they absolutely need to ensure the security of the software that powers their business," said Dr. Brian Chess, co-founder and Chief Scientist of Fortify Software, and co-author of BSIMM2. "BSIMM is meant to be used by anyone charged with creating and executing a software security initiative, giving them a tool for measuring their software security assurance program against some of the most forward-thinking organizations out there."

Using the software security framework, Chess, McGraw and Cigital co-author Sammy Migues conducted a series of in-depth fact-finding interviews with executives in charge of the 30 software security initiatives. Data were collected on each initiative's software security activities for strategy and metrics, training, standards and requirements, security testing, code review, penetration testing, etc., and a number of common themes among each of the successful initiatives have been uncovered, including:

* The necessity of a Software Security Group (SSG): SSG size on average is 21.9 people (smallest 0.5, largest 100, median 13). The average number of developers among organizations was 5061 people (smallest 40, largest 30,000, median 3000). The numbers yield an average percentage of SSG to development of just over 1 percent, or 1 SSG member for every 100 developers.


* Commonalities among SSG structure: At the highest level of organization, SSGs come in three major flavors: those organized according to technical SDLC duties, those organized by operational duties, and those organized according to internal business units.


* Tested practices: The BSIMM clearly describes 109 activities that every organization can put into practice today.


* A software security satellite: In addition to the SSG, many software security programs have identified a number of individuals (often developers, testers, and architects) who share common software security tasks, but are not directly employed in the SSG. On average, satellite size is 39.7 people (smallest 0, largest 300, median 11). Of particular interest, nine of the 10 firms with the highest BSIMM scores have an active satellite, and only eight of the remaining 20 firms outside of the top 10 do. This suggests that the more mature a software security initiative is, the more distributed its activities are.


In conjunction with the release of BSIMM2 is the announcement of a newly created BSIMM Advisory Board helping to shepherd the emerging community and the work going forward. The Board plans to hold the first BSIMM practitioner conference this fall in Washington, D.C. Board members include:

* Steve Lipner, Senior Director of Security Engineering Strategy, Microsoft
* Eric Baize, Senior Director, Product Security Office, EMC Corporation
* Jeff Cohen, Head of Product Security Assurance, Intel
* Janne Uusilehto, Director, Head of Product Security, Nokia
* Brad Arkin, Director of Product Security and Privacy, Adobe
