Don’t Let a Crisis Spoil Your Drama – Experience an Incident Response App at Work
It’s 8pm on a Friday, the CTO of a global creative services provider is notified of a significant security breach involving a premium episodic title. Unfinished content has been leaked and its office has been told that further material will be released revealing the plot line, together with sensitive contractual cast information unless a ransom is paid.

Content Pirates: Competitors or Criminals?
We discuss modern content piracy as an increasingly viable illicit business, and what to do about that. For content thieves, establishing an IPTV service is low cost, low risk, and high reward. Their creation and maintenance of complex ecosystems across multiple jurisdictions means you cannot arrest your way out of this problem. Eliminating content piracy altogether is neither a realistic nor practical goal. Criminality will continue to innovate – exploiting both technology and market opportunities – to deliver their ‘pseudo-legitimate’ services. What next?

Every Stream Unique: The Rise of Just-in-Time Watermarking with Consumer DRM for OTT Streaming
For the past 20 years, studios have used forensic just-in-time (JIT) watermarking to protect premium pre-release content throughout the production lifecycle as a B2B offering. In this presentation we look at how JIT forensic watermarking with DRM can be used in a B2C environment for OTT streaming applications to reduce piracy.

Stealing the Stream: Mapping and Addressing Streaming Piracy Threats
OTT streaming pirates are stealing billions in revenue from OTT service providers by exploiting vulnerabilities at every link of the video distribution chain. Not satisfied with just stealing premium content, pirates will offer stolen credentials, steal an entire OTT service, as well as host rival services to lure away legitimate subscribers. In this session, we’ll examine how streaming pirates operate in the ever evolving and sophisticated ecosystem, at every stage of the video distribution chain. We’ll discuss how pirates infiltrate a service, and how fighting piracy requires a painstaking, forensic, intelligence-led approach and cutting-edge cyber solutions that work in synergy to disrupt and demotivate pirates at every point.
