Artear

Artear is a media organisation that serves as the parent company of Canal 13, a general‑interest television channel, and TN, a 24‑hour news network. It is responsible for the production and broadcast of television programming that includes news, entertainment and other content aimed at audiences in Argentina. The organisation also maintains digital platform services associated with its channels, as indicated by the fact that a ransomware attack in 2022 did not interrupt those services. Its headquarters are located in Argentina.

The company operates internal data networks and systems that support its broadcasting and digital operations, employing a dedicated cybersecurity team to monitor and defend its infrastructure. In May 2022 Artear suffered a ransomware incident that encrypted servers and disrupted internal tools and workflows for employees, although television broadcasts and digital platforms continued to function. The response involved restoring affected systems while investigating the origin of the intrusion, demonstrating the organisation’s capacity to manage cyber incidents while preserving core operational continuity.

Artear’s organisational structure is defined by its role as the parent entity overseeing the Canal 13 and TN subsidiaries, which operate under its strategic direction. This hierarchical arrangement allows Artear to coordinate content production, distribution and technical support across its television and news properties. Artear operates within the Argentine media sector, contributing to the country’s broadcast and digital information ecosystem.
