Vizrt, a leading provider of real-time graphics and live production solutions, has announced the launch of Pilot Sign-On for its HTML-based newsroom graphics platform, Viz Pilot Edge.
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.

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.”
