Cybersecurity Challenges of Digital Transformation in the Entertainment Industry

Digital transformation has transformed human work practices, organizational processes, and the way of entertainment. Such transformations have resulted in improvements in entertainment content quality, personalized delivery of content and faster production cycles. However, cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities have also increased and require agile cybersecurity processes and tools. In this paper, we have carried out a literature review to understand cybersecurity implications in the digital transformation of the entertainment sector. We have found that many studies have explored the cybersecurity challenges in sports, gaming, live streaming, games, and gambling domains; however, there is a need for more systematic studies to further strengthen this body of knowledge. We have presented a taxonomy of related themes as well as challenges faced to enhance the cybersecurity practices in this sector. The findings will provide an interesting research agenda for researchers and practitioners to explore this sector as well.
