Cartesian Supports Redge Technologies in Aligning Their Redge Media Platform with Best Security Standards

Farncombe Security® Audits apply to content protection solutions and video streaming platforms, helping the industry improve content security

In the fight against video piracy, where illegal redistribution threatens content creators’ profits, a holistic security approach is critical. It’s no longer enough to have robust IT infrastructure, rigorous processes and secure content protection solutions; they must be complemented by a well-thought-out security design, adhering to a multitude of crucial rules and principles.

Content security is a top priority for our best-in-class solutions. We appreciated the professionalism and thoroughness of the Cartesian team, who helped Redge Media to align with highest standards.”
— Przemyslaw Frasunek, Member of the Management Board of Redge Technologies

To ensure the security of a video service, it is essential to look beyond just the infrastructure, the processes, and the DRM solutions. Key factors such as authentication workflows, license delivery workflows, enforcement of usage rules, session tracking, regular handshakes between clients and backends, segregation of keys, lifecycles of licenses and tokens, client application security, etc., all play a critical role. These aspects must be analyzed in detail, by encompassing all components, from servers to clients, as well as the sequence and structure of all exchanged messages.
