STRENGTHEN YOUR CONTENT PROTECTION STRATEGY BEYOND DRM: A HOLISTIC APPROACH

13/04/2024

In our latest blog, gain insights into the media industry's challenges and how NAGRA Active Streaming Protection provides a framework for holistic content protection.

In today's digital age, where the consumption of media content has shifted towards streaming platforms, the importance of safeguarding digital assets against piracy cannot be overstated. As the landscape continues to evolve, so do the tactics employed by pirates, necessitating a comprehensive approach to content protection. This blog delves deeper into the challenges faced by the media and entertainment industry, explores case studies exemplifying successful content protection strategies, and highlights the value proposition of NAGRA Active Streaming Protection in addressing topics such as CDN leeching.

The Evolving Landscape of Content Consumption

Streaming platforms have transformed how audiences access and consume media content. With the convenience of access anytime and anywhere, consumers now expect a seamless and personalized viewing experience across devices. However, this digital revolution has also presented challenges, particularly in the realm of content security. As streaming services expand globally, pirates are exploiting vulnerabilities in traditional DRM solutions, necessitating a more proactive and holistic approach to content protection.

Challenges Faced by the Industry

The media and entertainment industry faces multi-faceted challenges in safeguarding valuable digital assets. Traditional DRM solutions, while effective to a certain extent, are no longer sufficient in combating the increasingly sophisticated tactics employed by pirates. From device tampering through CDN leeching to VPN usage and credential sharing, pirates are finding new avenues to illegally access premium content, posing a significant threat to content owners and distributors alike. Moreover, the rapid proliferation of streaming services and the introduction of innovative content offerings such as gaming and virtual reality further complicate the landscape, requiring robust anti-piracy measures to protect revenue streams.

Making an Impact: Real-world Success Stories in Content Protection

Zee5 Optimizes Business Operations with OTT Streaming Security Framework Including Analytics

Zee5, the largest home-grown video streaming platform in India and Bharat, with over 100 million monthly active subscribers, embarked on a quest for an alternative, comprehensive solution to fortify its existing multi-DRM system and elevate operational efficiency. With a pressing need for scalability during peak content delivery periods and a thirst for enhanced business insights to steer informed decision-making, Zee5 meticulously evaluated its options. After exhaustive scrutiny, Zee5 embraced NAGRA Active Streaming Protection, a robust content and service protection offering tailored precisely to its requirements. Leveraging a cloud-based toolkit approach, Zee5 now enjoys unparalleled scalability and flexibility, complemented by the prowess of security analytics and data-driven intelligence reporting. These capabilities enable Zee5 to refine its business strategies, swiftly detect threats, and effectively combat illicit content sharing, all while maintaining the seamless delivery of its vast media library to millions of subscribers.

Unlocking Value with Data-Driven Insights from NAGRA Active Streaming Protection

This dashboard acts as a nerve center, aggregating and scrutinizing data from diverse security components like multi-DRM, Session Control, Watermarking, Device Authentication, and CDN Access Control designed to combat CDN leeching.

However, NAGRA Active Streaming Protection delivers a transformation narrative, debunking these misconceptions and ushering in a new era of security enlightenment.
