Verimatrix, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, announced yesterday that United Cloud will be implementing Verimatrix Extended Threat Defence (XTD) technologies to enhance the security of its flagship TV 2.0 platform, which is widely known as EON TV. United Cloud, an innovation center specializing in telecommunications and media solutions, has chosen Verimatrix to protect its Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming applications.
TV 2.0, regarded as one of the most advanced TV platforms in the region, handles over 50,000 video assets and reaches more than 1.5 million devices every day. With the implementation of Verimatrix XTD technologies, the Android and iOS OTT streaming applications of TV 2.0 will benefit from code polymorphism and obfuscation. These measures will protect the application’s code from static analysis by employing control flow, arithmetic, and symbol obfuscation, as well as section and string encryption. Consequently, the security enhancements will ensure that content owner protection requirements are not only met but exceeded.
Sergej Berisaj, the CTO of United Cloud, expressed the company’s dedication to delivering a superior streaming experience and top-notch security through their flagship TV 2.0 platform. Berisaj stated, “Our dedication in delivering an exceptional streaming experience via our flagship TV 2.0 platform with top-notch security has driven us to join forces with Verimatrix. It is obvious that Verimatrix not only understands the unique needs of the media & entertainment space, but it is also a heavily trusted expert in both app protection and mobile threat defense – the perfect mix for our business.”
Asaf Ashkenazi, the CEO of Verimatrix, emphasized the increasing threats faced by streaming platforms from cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and disrupt operations. Ashkenazi acknowledged the importance of comprehensive code protection and threat monitoring in this evolving landscape. He stated, “By choosing Verimatrix XTD, United Cloud is taking a proactive stance to harden defenses and ensure business continuity. XTD provides a robust shield around the core app code to neutralize even zero-day threats, and it empowers customers to detect and respond to new types of endpoint threats. This powerful, multi-layered security enables United Cloud to confidently scale their platform with peace of mind. We are thrilled to welcome them as the newest member of the Verimatrix XTD customer family.”
