VPNs Can't Cut It: Zero Trust for SMEs and Enterprises

The traditional Virtual Private Network (VPN) has been a cornerstone of network security for many organizations, providing secure access to internal resources by creating encrypted tunnels over the internet. However, as cyber threats become more sophisticated and the workforce more distributed, VPNs are increasingly being seen as insufficient. In this classroom session, we will explore why VPNs can no longer be the sole security solution and how Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) provides a more robust security framework for SMEs and enterprises in the AV (Audio-Visual) industry.

Unleash the creative potential of LED technology through Metamerism – How chromaticity affect skin tones, costume colors and scenic elements.

Technology today allows for so much a Lighting Designer can do with LEDs in lighting fixtures. However, we also give up some beautiful things that we once took for granted, for example the long wavelength reds and fading in conventional tungsten lighting fixtures. In this workshop, James Tan (Lighting Designer) seeks to showcase how we can manipulate the spectral content of multi-color LED light sources. How do we improve the quality of light that we see on stage, to not just be obsessed with mere brightness, but to also appreciate luminous efficacy, color calibration, color shifts and overall color quality.
