In the digital era, protecting content from unauthorized access and piracy is a top priority for content providers, broadcasters, and enterprises. Digital Rights Management (DRM) plays a critical role in securing video streams and ensuring only authorized users can access premium content.
Ant Media Server now offers robust DRM support, providing a secure and seamless streaming experience while maintaining ultra-low latency.
What is DRM and Why is It Important?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a security technology that encrypts video content, preventing unauthorized distribution, copying, or access. This ensures that only users with valid licenses or credentials can view the content, making it an essential solution for:
-
OTT platforms delivering premium video content.
-
Enterprise and education platforms sharing confidential video streams.
-
Live event streaming to restricted audiences.
-
Pay-per-view services requiring access control.
