The Challenge
The Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (Cyta) faced the challenge of securing its IPTV services against piracy and unauthorized access. As a key player in the local IPTV market, Cyta needed a comprehensive security solution that could not only protect its current services but also scale with future growth and service expansion. The organization required a system that could integrate forensic watermarking capabilities to track and enforce content rights effectively. Additionally, Cyta sought a solution that offered flexible deployment options to adapt to various operational needs and ensure seamless integration with existing subsystems.

This next-generation security solution integrates forensic watermarking capabilities, providing a complete end-to-end security platform for Cyta's IPTV services.
