In the time since , MediaHub has successfully grown and diversified the list of services it offers to the Australian and International broadcast industries .
MediaHub says its collective broadcast knowledge and experience has afforded the company the unique ability to identify shifting trends in content delivery – offering an ‘ agile and agnostic approach to available technology .’ viewers , it is critical to ensure the right security tools and measures are utilised . The organisation selected Akamai ’ s Enterprise Application Access , a Zero Trust Network Access solution , for secure , real-time identity-based access to enterprise applications .
Akamai ’ s technology has helped MediaHub ensure secure , virtual access to applications for approximately 300 users , which include both clients and staff . The ongoing security deployments and integrations means that remote work has become a reality for staff through a secure platform , building on the 100 % uptime achieved during the pandemic .
“ The pandemic forced us to change the way we worked . We had to find a solution quickly where we would be able to work from home while requiring intensive internet resources and bandwidth . It was because of Akamai that we were able to achieve it . We were the only broadcast services provider in Australia able to fully work from home – a feat that would have been impossible without Akamai ’ s help . We can confidently say now that wherever we are , we can work securely regardless of the situation ,” said Simon Scott , Chief Digital and Information Officer at MediaHub .
