Diversified is a leading global technology solutions provider that leverages the best in technology and ongoing advisory services to transform businesses. Its comprehensive suite of solutions are engineered to help clients build connections that make a difference. These connections may inspire viewers, engage associates, motivate audiences, or streamline and safeguard operations.

Last month, the company announced a partnership and trio of solutions with GroCyber. Together, the companies are empowering audio-visual and media companies to improve their cybersecurity stance by providing a “clean bill of health” for their digital media environments, ensuring hardware and software are current, and protecting media storage and devices against the threat of malware.

“Many organizations around the world have parts of their environments that are not cyber ready. This can put them at risk for attacks from vulnerabilities or methods that are many years old,” says Mat Newfield, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Diversified. “The issue for many media and AV organizations is that the security solutions today do not always cater to the specific needs of their industry. So, Diversified, which has deep expertise in AV and media, has joined forces with GroCyber to deliver media-centric solutions to help companies in this space increase their cyber resiliency.”

The new Diversified-GroCyber cybersecurity solutions include cyber certification, cyber hygiene and monitoring, and vulnerability management. For cyber certification, GroCyber works as an independent third party to test and certify that the broadcast environments and components of Diversified clients are operating in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. For cyber hygiene and monitoring, the managed service monitors the hardware and software at a business to ensure it has the latest security patches, configuration, and access control to minimize an organization’s cyber risk exposure. The new vulnerability management service provides guidance on how to create a secure architecture and performs scanning and penetration testing to identify and alert Diversified clients of vulnerabilities quickly so they can protect their media assets.

“It is absolutely critical for organizations today to protect the integrity of their media assets, which are key to their business operations and can represent hundreds of millions of dollars in intellectual property,” according to Alison Kidd, Managing Partner of GroCyber, which was founded by 25-plus-year veterans in cybersecurity who have brought together a team of cybersecurity experts to solve some of enterprises’ most complex problems. “Traditional approaches like air gapping no longer work in our connected, IP-based world, and patching alone is not enough.”

In other news, Diversified has been ranked among the top three on System Contractor News’s annual list of the industry’s Top 50 Integrators for the 11th consecutive year. The company’s solutions reach millions every day. Founded in 1993, the global organization became a Hacienda tenant in April 2012. The organization serves local needs globally with more than 2,400 associates worldwide.
