This new feature addresses the critical need for security authentication in modern newsrooms.

Addressing Cyber Threats

With cyber-attacks occurring every 39 seconds, news organizations are increasingly targeted by malicious agents. To counter these threats, Vizrt has designed Pilot Sign-On to offer robust security measures, protecting sensitive journalist workflows. This system ensures that only authorized personnel can access crucial editorial tools and sensitive information, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Statements from Vizrt

Ionut ‘Johnny’ Pogacean, Senior Product Manager at Vizrt, emphasized the importance of secure systems for journalists handling confidential information. He stated, “Pilot Sign-On addresses security concerns by providing a simple yet secure authentication process that enhances the integrity of newsroom activities. This system protects sensitive information and streamlines access for journalists and designers, ensuring they work in a safe and secure environment.”

Benefits of Pilot Sign-On

By integrating Pilot Sign-On, newsrooms can add an additional layer of security, protecting digital assets and maintaining operational efficiency. It also simplifies the audit process for internal IT teams.

Upgraded Template Builder for Improved Efficiency

In addition to Pilot Sign-On, Vizrt has overhauled and rewritten the Template Builder in modern web technology. This upgrade not only enhances security but also improves speed, startup time, and user interface performance. The consistent look and behavior of templates in Viz Pilot Edge, along with various quality-of-life improvements, will make newsroom workflows more efficient and futureproof.
