We’ve put security in place along the entire workflow route to satisfy studios. Your content is encrypted during transfer, while processing, and as the output file-set.
Super secure
Video Toolkit has received the Farncombe Security Audit® mark from Cartesian’s extensive review of our service.
Key control
During encryption you can have keys easily managed with our DRMtoday licensing service or your own DRM solution.
Forensic watermarking
Studios increasingly require enhanced security for premium-quality media. Our forensic watermarking solutions fulfill this by identifying nasty thieves and leakers down to the user level while deterring piracy.

- Deploy directly on an origin server or CDN
- Edge segment selection
Just-in-time watermarking
Direct ID embedding for simplified local or on-prem deployments.
