Friend MTS, the number one anti-piracy provider and video cybersecurity partner in entertainment, media and sports, today announced that it has been presented with Frost & Sullivan's highly acclaimed 2025 Best Practices Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition in the global digital content security and anti-piracy industry. With this recognition, FMTS joins a community of Frost & Sullivan Best Practices' companies that are shaping the future.
Frost & Sullivan declared FMTS' proprietary portfolio one of the most comprehensive in the anti-piracy industry. FMTS is also deemed a key enabler for rights owners, broadcasters and operators seeking to reduce piracy, restore value and stay ahead of future threats. Additional achievements cited include: being at the forefront of innovation in the field of anti-piracy, developing and creating new solutions, meeting ever-evolving customer needs, and advancing the overall content security market.
FMTS' Emmy award-winning portfolio features cutting-edge technologies like fingerprinting, dynamic server blocking, and watermarking. Its innovative blend of AI, automation, and human expertise delivers proven results: pinpointing the sources of illegal content at scale and speed; impacting pirates' revenues by disrupting their sources of content, and providing customers and law enforcement with actionable evidence to disrupt illegal operations and support criminal prosecutions. Frost & Sullivan also acknowledged FMTS' intelligence gathering, real-time support, and ongoing strategic counsel to global organisations and their technical and legal teams as crucial standouts.
FMTS is at the forefront of anti-piracy and cybersecurity excellence. For decades, it has consistently supported the world's leading entertainment, media and sports brands' efforts to protect their content. A sampling of its impact includes:
Protecting over 5,500 weekly hours of live and on-demand content, with combined rights valued at more than $60 billion
Protecting content in more than 100 million applications and devices.
Analysing 26,000 hours of suspected infringing video content daily
Locating more than half a billion suspected piracy streams per month
Disrupting illegal streams in minutes
Since day one, content protection has been our focus. This acknowledgement from Frost & Sullivan reminds us of how much we've progressed and how quickly the world changes, said Shane McCarthy, CEO, Friend MTS. We're proud to fight for the rights of our global customers including Sky, the Premier League, UEFA, beIN Sports, MNC Media & Entertainment, Saran Media and more, to effectively protect their video assets, and to keep their revenues where they rightfully belong.
Frost & Sullivan applauds Friend MTS for combining proprietary detection tools, operational scalability, and deep industry expertise to deliver one of the most effective solutions in the content protection space, said Alaa Saayed, Vice President of Research, Frost & Sullivan. In a market where seconds matter and precision defines success, the company stands out for its ability to protect content in over 100 million apps and devices worldwide, demonstrating an exceptional capability to secure content across platforms, operating systems, and distribution models.
