Farncombe Security™ Audits Apply to Content Protection Solutions and Video Streaming Platforms, Helping the Industry in Improving Content Security at All Levels

OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Video content remains a constant target for pirates seeking to make profit through its illegal re-distribution. To protect content from these threats, a holistic security approach is required. A solid IT infrastructure, rigorous operational procedures, and secure DRM solutions are undoubtedly essential. But they must also be supported by well-designed workflows, observing a multitude of crucial security principles.

Indeed, the security of a video service not only hinges on the security of the IT infrastructure and of the content protection solutions in use, but also on authentication workflows, license delivery workflows, enforcement of usage rules, session tracking, regular handshakes between clients and backends, segregation of keys, lifecycles of licenses and tokens, client application security, etc. These aspects must be analyzed in detail, by encompassing all components, from servers to clients, as well as the sequence and structure of all the messages they exchange.

SK Broadband’s B TV VOD Streaming Service offers premium content with up to 4K UHD resolution in South Korea. To ensure that it satisfies all necessary security requirements for 4K UHD content, SK Broadband requested Cartesian to review and assess the security of their streaming service. Going through this audit has enabled SK Broadband to provide their subscribers with even more high quality UHD content from major studios.
