| 12 January 2021 Independent video software provider Synamedia’s security and watermarking solutions are now integrated with Akamai the intelligent edge platform for securing and delivering digital experiences and to protect customers’ streaming OTT content. The integration of the solutions and platform are said to offer customers a quicker way of shutting down illegal streams, which will be critical for the success of streaming rights for live sports. The partnership will see the integration of Synamedia’s Streaming Piracy Disruption (SPD) managed service with Akamai’s platform in order to give rights holders and content owners an added layer of anti-piracy enforcement and revenue protection. The solutions can now detect and disrupt pirate streams in real time over the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform and redirect viewers to legitimate services.
