What should an OTT video provider do about video piracy?

Video: Why OTT video needs DRM and watermarking in the cloud.

Steve Hawley, Founder & Managing Director, Piracy Monitor

What is the best approach to video security for an OTT TV provider? If you are getting by with simple digital rights management (DRM), you are inviting trouble. Steve Hawley, Head of Piracy Monitor and my partner in the upcoming Video Security Summit, interviews Christopher Levy, CEO & Founder of BuyDRM, to understand what is a better approach.

Mr. Levy runs down the history of DRM and why it represents the bare minimum security for video. He explains why DRM with watermarking is a better approach and why watermarking in the cloud at the origin streaming server is the only scalable approach.
