Vizrt introduces Pilot Sign-on authentication to strengthen security for global newsrooms

Latest product feature from Vizrt affirms company commitment to enhancing customer security  

Bergen, Norway | 16 July 2024 | Vizrt, the leader in real-time graphics and live production solutions for content creators, today announces the launch of Pilot Sign-On for its Viz Pilot Edge HTML-based newsroom graphics platform. 

Thwarting threats in the newsroom 

Security authentication is critical to the modern newsrooms’ operational integrity. With a new cyber-attack happening every 39 seconds, the threat of rogue agents targeting media organizations is very real, making it essential to implement advanced authentication mechanisms.  

Designed specifically for newsroom environments, Pilot Sign-On offers robust security measures to safeguard sensitive journalist workflows. Ensuring only authorized personnel can access sensitive information, and crucial editorial tools, or investigate reports, Pilot Sign-On protects against unauthorized access and reduces the risk of a data breach.  


Journalists routinely handle highly confidential information and need reliable and secure systems. Pilot Sign-On addresses these concerns by providing a simple, yet secure authentication process that enhances the integrity of newsroom activities. This system not only protects sensitive information but also streamlines access for journalists and designers, ensuring they continue to work in a safe and secure manner.
