Over 98,000 attempts at video piracy have been blocked by VdoCipher Hacker Detection Engine in 6 months
With the release of its innovative Hacker Identification Engine and Piracy Tracker, VdoCipher has raised the bar for content protection in the digital era. In just six months, this cutting-edge tool has effectively stopped over 98,000 attempts at video piracy, proving its efficacy in thwarting the growing menace of online copyright theft.
Launched nine months ago, the proprietary system expands on VdoCipher’s 8 years of experience offering security solutions for DRM encryption and dynamic watermarking to media corporations, e-learning platforms, and content providers. The new Piracy Tracker combats a number of risks, such as attempts to get around DRM, credential sharing, and the development of video app clones.
The Piracy Tracker has had a major influence. Over 13,000 distinct devices and IP addresses have been found and blocked in the last six months alone, and 840 people have been found to have misused their accounts. Furthermore, the technology has detected and automatically stopped attempts at piracy on 640 client websites and applications. Based on this information, 382 user accounts have been proactively blocked. Additionally, 11 users are the target of legal action brought by VdoCipher’s clients.
Presently, more than 3,000 platforms use VdoCipher’s solutions, benefiting over 10,000 instructors and content providers in more than 120 countries. According to the company, VdoCipher playback and security have helped customers make over Rs. 3000 crores in income while preventing roughly Rs. 500 crore in revenue losses from piracy.
Vibhav Sinha, CTO, VdoCipher, said, “Every year, we try to add an additional layer of technology to our security stack. We provide very strong encryption based on DRM. Now, adding to that, we identify a combination of 12 viewer behavior patterns using our secure player. Our 8-year experience in tracking hacker behaviors, plus our unique understanding of the browser and app technologies, has enabled us to build this piracy tracker. We provide an easy-to-use dashboard for our customers to get all piracy info. Some of India’s largest content and e-learning platforms have already made use of this tool to catch hackers, grow users, and enhance their revenues.”
Siddhant Jain, CEO, VdoCipher, added, “The next decade is going to be very crucial for India and all developing countries to upskill the large population of youth who do not go to college or come out of college but are practically unemployable. A massive number of educators and content creators teaching practical and academic skills are much needed across the globe.”
“One problem in online education and the content creator economy that no one talks about is video piracy. Video piracy robs creators of revenue but also robs students of learning from good-quality teachers. Teachers fear putting their best content online due to piracy, so ultimately it also harms the student community. At VdoCipher, it is our mission to bring more educators and content creators online by ensuring that they do not lose revenues due to online piracy; at the same time, viewers have the best viewing experience even if they are sitting in some tier 3 city of a developing country in Asia or Africa,” he added.
