and disrupt piracy in real-time, making pirate streams unwatchable, while maintaining
a premium, low latency viewing experience for legitimate subscribers.
 

CHESEAUX-SUR-LAUSANNE, Switzerland, and PHOENIX (AZ), USA — July 22, 2025 — NAGRAVISION, a Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) company and the world's leading independent provider of content protection and media and entertainment solutions, today announced an extended partnership with Broadpeak to deliver a next-generation streaming security solution for providers of live sports content. The joint solution strategically detects, identifies, and disrupts pirate streams to degrade their quality and reliability, making them unwatchable, while preserving an uninterrupted service for paying customers, maximizing both revenue protection and viewer satisfaction.

The collaboration brings together NAGRAVISION’s AI-powered security analytics and real-time pirate disruption technologies and Broadpeak’s Advanced CDN with real-time security control. Together, they enable sports leagues and broadcasters to deliver secure, high-quality, low-latency live-streaming experiences while proactively combating pirate activity that materially impacts operator and sports rights holder revenues.

“Live sports content is both highly valuable and highly vulnerable,” said Stéphane Le Dreau, SVP Global Product Management & Sales Development at NAGRAVISION. “The winning combination of our market-leading content security expertise together with Broadpeak’s own innovation in streaming security gives rights holders and broadcasters robust tools to protect their content and actively detect, identify, and disrupt the pirate viewing experience—while ensuring a seamless experience for legitimate viewers.”

The integrated solution addresses the unique challenges facing today’s sports streaming providers, where millions of viewers demand flawless real-time delivery during high-stakes events. The platform delivers comprehensive end-to-end protection against evolving piracy threats including illegal re-streaming, credential sharing, unauthorized access, and CDN leeching. Its AI-powered analytics engine continuously monitors CDN traffic and DRM license requests to detect suspicious activity patterns, enabling immediate disruption of pirate streams without impacting legitimate viewers. Engineered for scale, the solution optimizes content delivery for high concurrency and low latency even during peak viewership periods of live events, while seamlessly integrating with OTT platforms and broadcast workflows to minimize deployment complexity.

“We’re excited to be partnering with NAGRAVISION to address live sports piracy, one of the biggest threats facing our industry today,” said Damien Sterkers, VP of Products & Solutions Marketing, Broadpeak. “Our new solution approach offers a robust, scalable and secure streaming capability that ensures legitimate delivery and viewer satisfaction remain the core focus throughout the streaming workflow.”
