Big threat to Cable and Satellite: IPTV Protection Solutions
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has grown in popularity in a short span of time, as a result of Internet connectivity speed and the low cost of IPTV enabled devices. A growing number of rogue streamers are using the same technology to deliver unauthorised content. Not only can thousands of channels be distributed via illegal IPTV subscriptions, but channels that should be geo-blocked are being made available outside of their own territories.

We conduct in-depth research to gather details about the landscape including market, pirate ecosystem, money flow etc. which helps us determine our strategy to combat piracy.
