Partnership between Nagravision and Broadpeak for a Solution to Illicit Sports Broadcasting
In a significant move to safeguard live sports content from piracy, Nagravision and Broadpeak have announced a collaborative offering called Nagra Streaming Security. This innovative solution combines Broadpeak's Advanced CDN technology with Nagravision's AI-driven security analytics and real-time disruption capabilities to effectively detect, identify, and disrupt pirate streams.
At the heart of Nagra Streaming Security is real-time piracy disruption. The platform actively monitors content delivery networks (CDN) traffic and DRM license requests using an AI-powered analytics engine. Suspicious activities such as illegal re-streaming, credential sharing, unauthorized access, and CDN leeching are identified, and upon detection, pirate streams are disrupted by degrading their quality and reliability, making them unwatchable without affecting legitimate viewers.
The solution offers end-to-end protection, safeguarding valuable live sports content from evolving piracy threats while ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality, and low-latency streaming experiences for paying subscribers. It is engineered for scale to handle high concurrency during peak live event viewership and integrates seamlessly with existing OTT platforms and broadcast workflows, minimizing deployment complexity and enabling smooth content delivery.
By actively countering piracy and ensuring legitimate service quality, Nagra Streaming Security helps sports rights holders and broadcasters protect their revenues and maximize viewer satisfaction during high-stakes live sports events. The solution provides insight and threat guidance through comprehensive security monitoring and analytics capabilities, offering a 360-degree view of the streaming threat landscape.
Damien Sterkers, VP of Products & Solutions Marketing at Broadpeak, expressed excitement about the partnership with Nagravision to address live sports piracy. Leading streaming platforms are already using Nagra Streaming Security, underscoring its effectiveness in the industry.
Nagravision and Broadpeak will showcase Nagra Streaming Security at the 2025 IBC Show, Sept. 12-15 at the RAI Amsterdam (Nagravision in Stand 1.C81, Broadpeak in Stand 1.F83). The partnership aims to ensure an uninterrupted service for paying customers while maximizing both revenue protection and viewer satisfaction.
