VdoCipher’s Piracy Tracker Engine Thwarts 60,000+ Video Piracy Attempts in 6 Months

Apr 02, 2024: VdoCipher, a prominent provider of video player and piracy protection solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in combating video piracy with its innovative Piracy Tracker Engine. Over the course of six months, this state-of-the-art technology has successfully thwarted more than 60,000 piracy attempts across 700+ content platforms, underscoring VdoCipher’s dedication to safeguarding digital content and revenues.

With a global presence spanning 120 countries, VdoCipher caters to over 10,000 content creators and educators across 3,000 platforms. The company’s annual revenues exceed INR 2000 Crores, with projected revenue losses prevented amounting to over INR 300 Crores.

Vibhav Sinha, Chief Technology Officer at VdoCipher, highlighted the company’s commitment to enhancing security measures, stating, “Every year we try to add an additional layer of technology to our security stack. We provide a very strong encryption based on DRM. Now adding to that, we identify a combination of 12 viewer behavior patterns using our secure player. Our 8-year experience in tracking hacker behaviors, plus our unique understanding of the browser and app technologies has enabled us to build this piracy tracker.”

The proliferation of internet video piracy tools, with over 110 million users across the top 10 platforms, poses a significant challenge to content creators and platforms alike. Telegram and similar platforms exacerbate the issue by facilitating the widespread dissemination of pirated content. In response, VdoCipher’s Piracy Tracker Engine has delivered impressive results, including blocking sessions for potential piracy attempts, detecting misuse of login credentials, and auto-blocking piracy attempts on customer websites and apps.

Siddhant Jain, CEO of VdoCipher, emphasized the importance of combating video piracy in the education and content creator sectors, stating, “One problem in online education and content creator economy, that no one talks about is video piracy. Video piracy robs creators of revenue but also robs students of learning from good-quality teachers.” He added, “At VdoCipher, it is our mission to bring more educators and content creators online by ensuring that they do not lose revenues due to online piracy; at the same time viewers have the best viewing experience even if they are sitting in some tier 3 city of a developing country in Asia or Africa.”
