Farncombe Security Audits not only review content security solutions, but also help service providers improve the security of their platforms and operations.

Every day, video content is targeted by pirates who want to make a profit by illegally distributing it themselves. Their tactics are evolving on an almost daily basis, becoming more cunning and sophisticated. The threat posed has increased significantly with the growth of video distribution channels and all the new ways consumers can access their favorite video content.

To protect their content from these threats, broadcasters and video service providers have to use content protection technologies (DRM or Conditional Access Systems) that are proven secure. But it is not sufficient. The most secure solution will not succeed if it does not take place within a well-designed end-to-end video platform involving secured content workflows and operated through rigorous security policies and processes.
