Nagravision has announced that United Cloud has extended its agreement to run Nagra NexGuard Forensic Watermarking in seven European markets.
NexGuard is used as part of United’s streaming security strategy, safeguarding clients from piracy and shutting down content leaks at the source and in real-time.
The deployment marks the continued growth of the forensic watermarking solution, which now includes server-side watermarking to combat pirate activity such as CDN leeching.
“The integration of Nagravision’s solution into United Cloud’s technology ecosystem in 2022 enabled the creation of our unique platform, recently further enhanced by our award-winning AI tools,” said Srđan Đurđević, CEO of United Cloud. “Its performance in protecting content providers and rights holders across cable, satellite, and streaming services has translated directly into strong revenue protection for all our clients. Today, we can detect and shut down piracy with unmatched precision, and we’re pleased to extend our collaboration with Nagravision to further strengthen our defence capabilities,” he adds.
NAGRA NexGuard Forensic Watermarking solutions are used by major pay-TV and streaming operators to deter and combat piracy of high value content assets, including premium VOD and live sports. NexGuard forensic watermarks can be applied at a consumer session and set-top box device level to pinpoint the source of a piracy leak including those used to feed illicit streaming servers, enabling appropriate anti-piracy action.
“We’re delighted to be extending our support to United Cloud as they continue to advance content protection using NAGRA NexGuard Forensic Watermarking,” said Morten Solbakken, Executive Vice President and COO at Nagravision. “Nagravision prides itself on the tenure of its customer relationships– we thank United Cloud for their continued trust and use of our streaming security solutions in the fight against piracy.”
Nagra NexGuard forensic watermarking solutions are used by leading content owners to protect a variety of video, audio and still image assets and is approved by US studios and leading sports leagues.
