Monitoring user behavior and activity can provide valuable insights into potential password sharing incidents. By employing advanced analytics tools, service providers can detect unusual usage patterns and identify accounts that may be shared without authorization. The account holder willingly shares login information with others, usually family or close friends. This is based on trust and […]
Although these legacy technologies are gradually becoming outdated and will eventually need to be replaced, they’re still forming a considerable part of the content protection technology stack of traditional pay-TV operators, and maintaining backwards compatibility is important. Thus there is a need to support both traditional broadcast services and OTT services. Fortunately, hybrid strategies that […]
The Golden Age of Streaming — the era that the Economist magazine is calling a “$650 Billion Binge” — is just starting. Shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Transparent have ushered in a new generation of entertainment marked by its large numbers of international viewers and acclaimed programming.  Today’s digital delivery system makes it easier for […]
When it comes to security and the protection of what’s most important for your business, there’s something reassuring about the stability of a digital rights management vendor that’s been around since the beginning. Compatibility issues across various formats and codecs can cause nightmares for digital content providers. For any effective DRM system, there has to […]
Beyond rightful owners losing an enormous amount of revenue, content piracy in the live sports watermarking world is a direct threat to sports teams’ sponsorship deals. Because sports organisations are unable to include pirated audiences in their audience estimates, the numbers of viewers are grossly under-reported.  Designed to protect content during transit to the consumer’s […]
Proxy license acquisition model: In this workflow, the subscriber’s device and player application communicates with a proxy service managed by the OTT service provider, which redirects the requests back to the multi-DRM service. The client application initializes the media player with the DRM license acquisition URL, which triggers a ott drm license acquisition call to […]
Another approach is to focus on client-side  video watermarking technology to battle theft of high-value sports content. This approach leverages a thin client with pre-integration in the video player for different types of streaming devices. Fortunately, in many cases the client-side watermarking approach does not require the significant watermarking integration nor add the system overhead […]
The wind sector has always had a challenging business model. Wind energy projects depend on high initial investments with fluctuating production and price levels. To mitigate financial risk, wind project developers secure fixed revenues through power purchasing agreements (PPAs).  The lack of a unified operational view inhibits operators from optimizing performance and impedes the deployment […]
As the world grapples with the pressing need to transition to sustainable and renewable energy sources, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a powerful change agent.  AI energy applications are everywhere. In today’s competitive energy landscape, we must embrace AI-enabling software that facilitate modular growth while protecting current investments in existing infrastructure. In this new wave […]
Most other organizations have to rely on trusted collaboration to open up exciting new business opportunities.  We’ve written before about the benefits of secure data collaboration, including increased profitability and innovation. Some data might be in the cloud and some might be in on-premises servers.  As a result, firms that work together on a project need […]
Data aggregation can provide insights into key metrics such as revenue growth, unit production, or earnings per customer. Internally, and especially with the improvements in analytics, data aggregation provides a steady stream of insight for teams of all sizes. That’s because aggregate data is anonymized and doesn’t carry the same restrictions or consent obligations as […]
Networks of IoT device authentication help multiple sectors, such as energy, food, and pharmaceuticals, improve product delivery, perform predictive maintenance, and monitor and control supply chains. Unfortunately, this great year-on-year growth has also outstripped security practices that protect IoT device networks.  The rapid proliferation of IoT devices means that many networks are built on legacy […]
This unauthorized sharing can lead to widespread access by individuals who are not authorized users, potentially resulting in significant revenue losses for service providers. In this case, addressing the issue becomes more challenging as it requires detection, prevention, and education to discourage such practices. This technology lets providers manage active sessions and establish specific rules. […]
The major shortcomings with traditional CA systems is that they are costly, both to acquire and to operate. Yet they are still considered necessary tools for broadcast TV content protection technology. They can also slow down the time-to-market for urgent new services and create vendor lock-in issues, both for broadcasters and device manufacturers. However, it […]
The Golden Age of Streaming — the era that the Economist magazine is calling a “$650 Billion Binge” — is just starting. Shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and Transparent have ushered in a new generation of entertainment marked by its large numbers of international viewers and acclaimed programming.  In 2019, subscriptions to online (OTT) video-on-demand services around the world amounted […]
To provide for the considerable needs of copyright holders and enforcing content licensing agreements, a number of DRM vendors have sprung up. Like any key partnership choice, a major decision facing content providers and OTT streaming operators is which digital rights management vendor can deliver the best DRM solution for their specific needs. Intertrust’s experience […]
Beyond rightful owners losing an enormous amount of revenue, content piracy in the live sports watermarking world is a direct threat to sports teams’ sponsorship deals. Because sports organisations are unable to include pirated audiences in their audience estimates, the numbers of viewers are grossly under-reported. These groups stand to lose hundreds of thousands of […]
DRM technology is designed to protect the video content during transport, at rest, and during consumption. Although such technology can involve some very advanced security concepts, OTT streaming service operators still need to pay detailed attention to the overall system architecture that is deployed and avoid loopholes that allow hackers to defeat the purpose of […]
Session-based and user-specific video watermarking enables the service operator to embed a unique identifier for each user. The ID is then used to trace any unauthorized redistribution of premium content. This technique is a critical anti-piracy tool to protect UHD premium content and live events broadcasting since it is possible to identify the actual device […]
However, the transition from non-consolidated to centralized operations is fraught with challenges. Traditional operations in the wind sector often involve multiple, isolated control rooms, each dedicated to a specific site. Different farms use turbines, sensors, and control room software from dozens of vendors. The lack of a unified operational view inhibits operators from optimizing performance […]
