Regulatory News:

Verimatrix, (Euronext Paris: VMX, FR0010291245), the leader in powering the modern connected world with security made for people, today announced that Jio Platforms Ltd. (Jio), the world’s second largest mobile network operator (single-country operation), greatly expanded its use of the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for DVB, IPTV, OTT and Multi-DRM by adding the company’s security and delivery services throughout all of Jio’s premium video entertainment offerings, including its fast-growing connected TV platform.

Jio creates its own content and licenses rights to popular international sporting events and other premium content offerings, underscoring the importance of consistently robust video security and delivery. With an ever-increasing eye on India’s B2C market, Jio looked to Verimatrix VCAS to bring comprehensive security across mobile devices, set-top boxes, and now connected TVs.

Based on our past collaborations, we trust Verimatrix to provide best-in-class service.”

“We are pleased that Reliance Jio has decided to deepen and expand its use of Verimatrix content protection and anti-piracy technologies to gain unparalleled protection and visibility against attackers,” said Asaf Ashkenazi, CEO at Verimatrix. “Verimatrix’s comprehensive security innovations empower our customers to protect premium video content, disrupt piracy, and preserve valuable revenue streams, spanning both traditional and emerging distribution channels.”
