CTS will also serve as the primary video archive to enforce viewing rights and availability of AMC Networks’ vast library of premium shows, films, and brands across third-party content distribution partners. Under terms of the new agreement, AMC Networks will use CTS’ Managed Channel Origination (MCO) service to ingest, manage, and distribute linear TV, on-demand, and OTT video content across North America and South America for 28 channels including AMC, AMC+, BBC AMERICA, IFC, Shudder, SundanceTV, WE tv, and others. In addition, CTS’ VOD service will be used to deliver on-demand and OTT video content to MVPD, vMVPD, and OTT partners globally. CTS’ Managed Channel Origination delivers a fully managed 24x7 service aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing capital expenses, and future-proofing customers’ ability to monetize world-class viewing experiences at scale. CTS’ MCO and VOD capabilities provide media companies, content owners, and broadcasters with a platform for unified video workflow from content ingest through delivery. “AMC Networks is home to many of the best stories, characters, and brands across TV and film, and a premier destination for global fan communities,” said Bart Spriester, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Streaming, Broadcast, & Advertising for Comcast Technology Solutions. “We’re honored that AMC Networks will rely on us to help streamline their efforts to reach and monetize audiences across the Americas and around the globe. At Comcast Technology Solutions, our mission is to help leading media companies, like AMC Networks, reduce workflow complexity and redundancy, lower capital and operational expenses, and deliver exceptional quality viewing that today’s consumers demand across their screens of choice.” “During this time of evolution and change across our industry, AMC Networks is laser-focused on achieving the highest levels of efficiency and service quality across our video portfolio,” said Stephanie Mitchko, Executive Vice President, Global Media Operations and Technology at AMC Networks. “Whether it’s to support of our premium channels, our archives, or distribution of our acclaimed original franchises such as The Walking Dead Universe and the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, we believe that Comcast Technology Solutions provides us with the right technological backend for our future.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30, 2024 — DataBee®, from Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS), today announced a new generative AI-based chatbot called BeeKeeper AI™, which automatically finds and validates asset owners, closing security and compliance gaps caused by unknown or orphaned assets. Powered by Comcast’s patent-pending entity resolution technology, BeeKeeper AI is now part of DataBee for Security Hygiene, which works on top of the DataBee Hive™ security, risk and compliance data fabric platform to improve security hygiene through automated asset and owner discovery. BeeKeeper AI uses gen AI to validate asset ownership via automated chat. DataBee for Security Hygiene makes predictions about asset ownership by analyzing who might own the asset and how the asset is engaged. Then BeeKeeper AI automatically reaches out to predicted users to verify asset information and ownership using the organization’s chat client. Unknown or orphaned assets or devices can have significant security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps, so matching up users with devices is critical to closing those gaps and to an organization’s overall security and asset hygiene. “BeeKeeper AI is an excellent example of the responsible use of generative AI for cybersecurity,” said Scott Miserendino, Vice President of Advanced Cybersecurity Solutions, DataBee. “Because it’s working from a dataset that’s been cleaned and optimized by DataBee within a contained environment, BeeKeeper AI is powered by high quality, complete data and there are proper guardrails around its use and output. We’re looking forward to extending this gen AI chatbot capability to other security challenges over time.” BeeKeeper AI uses a large language model (LLM) to support chat conversations with potential asset owners, engaging them via Microsoft Teams to ask the question, ‘are you the owner of this device?’. Depending on the answer, BeeKeeper AI can continue its quest—even handling odd-ball responses—until it finds and validates the asset owner. No manual effort is involved in any of this process. “BeeKeeper AI gives valuable time back to IT, operations, security and compliance teams -- time that would otherwise be spent trying to locate and validate owners of unclaimed devices,” added Nicole Bucala, Vice President and General Manager of DataBee. “Our customers can keep these valuable people resources focused on what matters most and let BeeKeeper AI do the laborious work required to connect the dots between unclaimed assets and their proper owners.” BeeKeeper AI is available for Private Preview with Microsoft Teams starting the first week of August 2024 and is estimated to be generally available as part of the DataBee Hive suite of offerings in September. You can learn more about DataBee and all of its products and solutions at the Black Hat USA 2024 conference on August 7 and 8 in booth #4540, or request a meeting with one of our experts during the show.   ###   About Comcast Technology Solutions Comcast Technology Solutions, a division of one of the world’s leading media and technology companies, brings Comcast Corporation’s proven technologies to an evolving list of industries worldwide.

As the 2024 UEFA European Championship (the Euros) heads into the halfway point of the tournament, CTS’s Streaming, Broadcast and Advertising (SB&A) team is getting in on the action with innovative infrastructure contributions and revolutionizing the way viewers experience and engage with the competition. The team is elevating the Euros to new heights through their partnership with Deutsche Telekom (DT) by sourcing and providing the platform for television consumption across many countries in Europe via the Cloud Video Platform (CVP). When it pertains to soccer/futbol, there will be millions of eyes on the Euros: 51 matches, all hosted in Germany at various venues and several games that will be exclusive to DT from June 14 until July 14. “One of CTS’s key customer’s is Deutsche Telekom, a large provider in Europe, and its flagship country is in Germany,” said Bill Calton, VP, Global Operations, SB&A. “Our mission is connecting Comcast technology to the world, which means connecting people to the content they love, and nothing epitomizes that more than live sports.” The CVP simplifies the management, monetization and publishing of video to any device, any destination and from anywhere. The CVP enables flexible monetization and optimizes workflows and the distribution of video on demand (VOD), live events, linear channels and syndication. “We’ve covered other high-profile events, champions league and various other soccer-focused leagues, but nothing as big as this. This is almost like hosting a Super Bowl,” Bill explained. Bill also mentioned how successfully completing this event will demonstrate to the global market that the system is capable of handling unprecedented scale. “Being able to support an event at this level takes a lot of capabilities operationally and from an engineering standpoint. It will put a lot of wind in the sails of our teams in the US, Europe and Chennai to be able to prepare and execute this flawlessly. Also, being able to partner with Stephanie Trotter, SVP, Cloud Technologies, and her team was key. They managed all the key infrastructure and data centers that underlies these efforts,” he shared.
