Fireside Chat: Securing Connected AV Systems: Managing Risk in a Converged AV/IT 

As AV systems become increasingly networked, software-driven, and cloud-connected, the traditional boundaries between AV and IT continue to disappear. From collaboration platforms and digital signage networks to control rooms, campuses, and large-scale enterprise deployments, today's AV environments are more powerful than ever, but also more complex and vulnerable.

This AVIXA Xchange Live discussion brings together AV, IT, and technology leaders to explore the challenges of managing and securing modern AV ecosystems. Panelists will discuss evolving security risks, device management, cloud connectivity, governance, operational resilience, and the growing role of AI in AV operations. Join industry peers as they share practical experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for building scalable, secure, and future-ready AV infrastructures.
