AV networks have fundamentally changed. The shift to AV-over-IP means every display, DSP, codec, and control processor is now an IP endpoint on a shared network, and most of these devices can’t run traditional security agents. This session explores the real‑world security risks facing modern AV‑over‑IP deployments, from unpatched firmware on agentless devices to lateral movement across flat VLANs. You’ll see why “air‑gapped AV” is no longer a viable defense and how zero‑trust segmentation provides a more practical path forward.

The session concludes with a demonstration of a working prototype that embeds security capabilities directly into an AV network management platform. Cybersecurity is fast becoming both a procurement requirement and a competitive differentiator for integrators. You’ll leave with a practical framework for addressing security in today’s AV designs and a preview of how emerging tools will reshape secure AV deployments.
