Broadcasters face growing risks from environmental, cyber, and operational disruptions, all of which threaten business continuity in similar ways. The IEEE Broadcast Technology Society is developing a recommended practice to guide the design of resilient physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructures, emphasizing robust architectures, clear documentation, and well understood system dependencies to support rapid recovery. The initiative outlines preparation requirements across facilities, IT systems, and networks, and highlights the critical role of software ecosystems in modern broadcast environments. Broadcasters who have experienced real world disruptions are invited to share their insights to help strengthen resilience across the industry.
