Forensic Watermarking

Protect your content and revenue from production to consumption with Irdeto’s TraceMark™ forensic watermarking solutions

Piracy never sleeps

Pirates steal live broadcasts and VOD content and share these assets across a wide variety of sophisticated platforms, sites, and applications almost instantaneously. When one door is closed, they find a window to open.

With the widespread availability of high-quality digital content (premium Ultra HD and HDR content), the need to protect these valuable assets and their associated revenue is paramount.

Security requirements get tougher

Whether you are a content owner, licensee, or aggregator, pirates directly compete for your consumers. The sheer magnitude of piracy, combined with the skyrocketing value of digital content, has led content owners and rights holders to include stringent content protection clauses in contractual agreements and take a stronger stance when it comes to securing their premium digital assets.

Irdeto offers TraceMark™, our award winning patented Forensic Watermarking solution, to enhance your security efforts throughout the content value chain.

TraceMark™ supports different use cases, from tracking security weaknesses in distribution channels to identifying individual pirate sessions to disrupt unauthorized streams at the source.

Whether you are trying to protect live or video on demand content, Irdeto has a watermarking solution that is optimal for your business needs.

Watermarking is a key step in combatting video piracy. In order to effectively protect your content, the entire value chain needs to be addressed.
