Verimatrix Joins Amazon Web Services for Media and Entertainment Initiative

Verimatrix, the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced its support for the AWS for Media & Entertainment initiative from Amazon Web Services (AWS) – enabling content service providers that deploy on AWS to implement Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core solution to negotiate premium content rights with pre-approved and pre-integrated security for the distribution of licensed content.

Cloud-native and unencumbered by legacy development and deployment processes, Verimatrix Multi-DRM Core scales according to customer demand. It optimizes costs instead of purchasing pre-committed fixed capacity and ultimately results in faster launches for Direct-to-Consumer offerings.

“Verimatrix is proud to collaborate with AWS to offer content providers a strong choice for scaling and securing content as efficiently as possible,” said Asaf Ashkenazi, Chief Operating Officer at Verimatrix. “Entertainment content is being consumed like never before – by larger and larger audiences and often simultaneously around the globe. Innovatively addressing the need to deploy quickly while also ensuring a stellar user experience, Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core solution brings proven scalability and reliability when it’s needed most.”

Today, content owners require a highly sophisticated, yet exceptionally rapid key-granting DRM solution as streaming workloads drastically increase. Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM solution efficiently secures AWS video processing and transcoding services, with integration typically taking but 20 minutes to complete.

Uniquely built to deal with the needs of today’s video streaming providers that are rich with highly valuable exclusive content, Multi-DRM Core’s swift yet secure key-granting technology takes place at SaaS speed, handling a deluge of viewers across the vast variety of streaming platforms. Authentication requirements can easily be fine-tuned per country, meeting changing needs to satisfy content owner demands. Additionally, Multi-DRM Core extends the native security within AWS to offer deeper levels of DDoS and intrusion prevention.

By building on AWS, media & entertainment customers can accelerate innovation, achieve operational excellence and greater business agility, and quickly develop new paths to revenue with technologies tailored to media & entertainment organizations. AWS customers can address Verimatrix’s Multi-DRM Core to securely and quickly stream both broadcast and on-demand offerings when consumers request authorization to look at content.
