30 ROUND TABLE Content Security
watermarked is enough to reduce the likelihood of users watching it by 50%. Operators like UFOM are able to add a unique code into each stream to safeguard content. This means if it’s restreamed illegally, operators can identify the source of the redistribution. ABDUL HAKIM, DPP: One technique is to use digital rights management, which is a broad name for an area that allows video to be encrypted and streamed, then unlocked based on specific licenses that are downloaded as part of a subscription package. Streams are uniquely encrypted based on a specific user and that user needs to be an authorised subscriber. It is quite a technical area. I would recommend that if you don’t have the expertise in-house, go to someone who does. There are many reputable suppliers who can help protect your content stream. They can not only manage the DRM but also do watermarking of your content and monitoring of your content. These FOR A SMALL COMPANY TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS IS A HUGE BURDEN
companies can scour the internet on your behalf and identify where there are illegal sources, and then issue takedown notices. For a small company to be able to monitor all the different social media outlets is a huge burden. NEIL SHARPE, FRIEND MTS: OTT content theft is a very real threat, and it’s much easier to accomplish than many people imagine. A video pirate could obtain a subscription to Channel 115, and then capture the content using freely available screen recording and streaming software. This can be accomplished without specialist skills, and in a very short period of time. To protect OTT assets from this menace, content owners can deploy a combination of global channel monitoring to identify illegal distribution plus subscriber-level watermarking, which can stop streaming piracy in minutes by cutting it off at the source. The content protection process involves extracting the watermark from the illegally streamed content so the subscriber that’s responsible can be identified, and their access can be revoked. UFOM: We have recently opened a museum, the “UFOseum”. Among the UFOseum’s attractions are moving image displays and a cinema that will be used for screenings and lectures premiering exclusive UFO footage. How can we best protect both the A/V content in our museum and the material screened in our cinema? Do we need to confiscate mobile phones at the door? ABDUL HAKIM, DPP: First, make sure you adopt standard physical security
