What it is

Irdeto AI Model Protection is a security and licensing solution that binds AI models to authorized environments, preventing misuse, reverse engineering and unauthorized execution across edge, cloud and partner systems.

What it does

It enforces secure provisioning, usage control, and licensing policies to ensure AI models run only where authorized. This protects intellectual property, enables monetization, and safeguards AI deployments from theft and tampering.

Who needs it

Companies that have built proprietary AI models as part of commercial products or services and need to securely deploy them in untrusted or uncontrolled environments. This includes deployment across edge, cloud, or partner ecosystems.
