ZEE5, India and Bharat’s largest in-house video streaming platform and multilingual storyteller with more than 100 million monthly active users have chosen NAGRA’s active streaming protection to safeguard its content and improve business decisions.

NAGRA is a Kudelski Group company and the world’s leading independent provider of content protection and media and entertainment solutions. The NAGRA system was chosen as the only industry solution to give the extra benefit of security monitoring and analytics capabilities, in addition to being picked for its scalable multi-DRM session management.

“We searched for a different provider for our current multi-DRM solution, and NAGRA much surpassed our requirements in terms of capabilities and feature set. We chose NAGRA based on their scalability, better security analytics, and, most importantly, their team’s response after doing a thorough benchmark of the DRM Landscape. As we add more premium content and live sports, it positions us well for expansion, according to Kishore AK, ZEE5’s chief technology officer.

ZEE5 needed a system that could readily scale as necessary to handle peak times of high-volume content distribution because it manages a comprehensive range of material and more than 100 million active users per month globally as of Q3 FY 2022-2023.

NAGRA’s Active Streaming Protection framework, which is more than simply a multi-DRM solution, is a scalable, cloud-based toolkit that gives service providers like ZEE5 access to a full content protection offering that satisfies this requirement.

ZEE5 can choose the services and solutions required to meet certain difficulties thanks to this innovative strategy, which also offers the framework and possibilities for upcoming prospects and expansion.

To help identify dangers and enable ZEE5 to make the best business decisions possible, the NAGRA solution provides a layer of data-driven insight and reporting.

Additionally, this allows ZEE5 to share this information with its streaming partners. With the help of NAGRA’s security analytics, it is possible to identify trends and patterns that are essential for managing a secure service, enhancing threat detection, and addressing unauthorized content sharing.

“After ZEE5’s in-depth search to find the right content protection partner, we are proud to have been selected and to lend our industry expertise to one the major players in the rapidly growing Indian market,” said Stéphane Le Dreau, Senior Vice President of APAC at NAGRA. “Our solutions are proven and trusted to secure some of the largest service providers in the world. With NAGRA, ZEE5 now has a level of content protection and security intelligence to enable even greater control of their operation.”

With NAGRA’s Activity Streaming Protection framework in place, ZEE5 can build out its service protection capabilities with additional services as its business expands and faces further threats.
