Albania’s Largest Video Service Provider TiBO Deploys Verimatrix Multi-DRM For Cloud-based Digital Rights Management

Regulatory News:

Verimatrix, (Paris:VMX) (Euronext Paris: VMX), formerly known as Inside Secure, a global provider of innovative, customer-friendly cybersecurity solutions that protect video content, endpoint devices, software and applications, today announced that Albania’s largest IPTV and OTT service provider TiBO has deployed Verimatrix Multi-DRM via the Verimatrix Secure Cloud to protect premium content that extends beyond traditional television.

Using a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, the Verimatrix Multi-DRM solution offers TiBO a convenient and cost-effective alternative to on-premise systems and operations. It is further supported by a vast range of pre-integrations with leading ecosystem partners, including Magoware, which was another key motivator for TiBO’s deployment.

“Because video content offered in Albanian language is highly sought after by pirates, it is more challenging to receive approval from studios to distribute their content in the region without a strong reputation for keeping content protected,” said Adnand Mahmuti, CEO at TiBO. “Verimatrix is able to offer us the complete package – the DRM capabilities we need, delivered via a simple and secure cloud infrastructure, underscored by its proven ability to maximize revenue for video service providers in Albania and across the world.”

Facing a high volume of illegal distribution in the region, TiBO originally enlisted Verimatrix to optimize revenue security for its OTT service, but by choosing a cloud-based security infrastructure, it was also able to unlock several added benefits. Deploying Verimatrix Multi-DRM via Verimatrix’s cloud-based infrastructure has enabled TiBO to reduce the complexity of its operations, while the SaaS business model minimizes CAPEX. Costs and complexities are further reduced by a simple HLS-only streaming format which allows content to be encoded and encrypted just once.

“This cloud-based Verimatrix Multi-DRM deployment truly checks all of the boxes for TiBO with simplicity at the core,” said Verimatrix Chief Operating Officer Asaf Ashkenazi. “Because the security framework will adapt to studio-required changes in security regime, TiBO – and the studios issuing premium content – can rest assured they will always be a step ahead of pirates.”

Verimatrix Multi-DRM offers a comprehensive, multi-screen and multi-DRM solution for premium content security and monetization with several value-add options. The deployment has laid the groundwork for TiBO to extend OTT distribution to SmartTVs, as well as tap into watermarking and analytic capabilities.
