Cybercrime has become one of the largest threats to the video games, health, transport and video entertainment industries. Cyber criminals use sophisticated technology and techniques to circumvent security measures, steal content and data to generate profit from exploited vulnerabilities in infrastructure and software. Consumers are misled into buying stolen content, accounts or subscription services which are sold on websites, virtual and physical marketplaces, forums and various social media platforms. This negatively affects business models, brand reputation, productivity and profitability.
Tailored solutions that empower customers:
Investigations and Enforcement
Cybercrime and IP infringement are global, and while consumers can select from an ever-growing variety of legal services, illegal streaming services have emerged in their shadow, leveraging stolen content and off-the-shelf streaming technologies to deliver entertainment at a fraction of the cost of legitimate content providers.
Here at Irdeto our investigations and enforcement team recognize the importance in identifying, preventing and defending against such cybercrime and understand how best to support our clients and take appropriate action against these threat actors.
Brand Protection
The sale of pirated and counterfeit products through e-commerce websites and social media are a growing challenge. Criminals utilize these websites (and other tools) to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers to buy pirated or counterfeit products on a global scale. To minimize business risk, it is essential to rapidly block the online sale and distribution of pirated and counterfeit products.
Brand Protection disrupts the online sale and distribution of illegal products and services. This is performed through a comprehensive process of identification, analyses, verification and removal of illegitimate advertisements and websites.
Threat Risk Assessment & Intelligence
Cybercrime is often performed by highly skilled and internationally distributed organizations who continuously search for business and consumer vulnerabilities.
Our highly trained security consultants perform security assessments in our forensic laboratory including software application and infrastructure vulnerability scanning, wireless security testing, system configuration reviews and remote access vulnerability testing.
Combining expert analyst interaction with automated tools ensures we detect and gather data on a wide range of threats from the open, deep and dark web.
Advanced Protection Services
Advanced Protection Services is an operator’s eyes and ears at every point along the digital content value chain. Minimizing risk requires more than just securing the CAS (conditional access system). These services include continuous monitoring for threats; verified breach response using flexible, effective countermeasures; restoration of platform integrity; and rapid disruption of pirates’ revenue streams.
There are thousands of ways pirates can steal digital content. A vulnerability can be found and exploited anywhere along the value chain. An operator’s business model relies on maintaining the integrity of their content and platform. This means an operator needs the ability to root out and resolve vulnerabilities and data leakage anywhere they occur.

And they need to constantly stay one step ahead of the criminals.

With fast moving criminals you need a full 360-degree approach to security.
