Solutions for Mobile Industry

Mobile operators and content providers don’t get hung up on security breaches when they ring on Irdeto.

The mobile applications gold rush has led to a boom in mobile content. Creating compelling games and applications that actually break through the clutter is only half the challenge facing mobile, broadband and broadcast operators as well as mobile game and application developers.

The true revenue-generating capabilities for mobile content providers are contingent upon the ability to provide a variety of options to consumers while fully protecting and monetizing that content on as many mobile devices, networks and distribution channels as possible.

Yet mobile content providers and distributors are not the only ones who realize the business potential that mobile represents. As with any opportunistic market, there are less scrupulous players out to hack content for personal self-gain through distribution of illegally copied audio tracks, premium video content and games. And with the proliferation of operating systems and devices come more choices and more potential vulnerabilities that threaten the livelihood of mobile device manufacturers and their content creators. Adding to this challenge is the growth in converged multimedia entertainment and business productivity platforms that span handsets, services, content, and accessories.

With all of the applications, content and devices available, it’s no wonder that there are a seemingly unlimited amount of options when it comes to mobile security. While there are point solutions to protect the various applications and hardware, companies who are serious about protecting their intellectual property require a full-service security solution across all mobile devices, networks, platforms, and operating systems.
