Broadpeak launches CDN security and anti-piracy solution

August 26, 2025

Broadpeak, a player in streaming and monetization at scale, launches a new anti-piracy solution to help content providers combat revenue loss and piracy during high-scale streaming events. Showcased for the first time in full at IBC2025, the security offering reinforces Broadpeak’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) with anti-piracy capabilities purpose-built for video – offering video service providers an improved alternative to generic CDN security features or less sophisticated build-it-yourself systems.

Broadpeak’s anti-piracy solution enables streaming companies to counter billions of dollars of revenue leakage with comprehensive, multi-layered protection – combining token validation, scalable DDoS protection, and innovative anti-token-sharing with system-level intelligence to protect a high number of streams during peak live events.

Broadpeak’s tailored solution offers multi-level protection and anti-piracy measures at both the system and video levels, blocking threats like credential sharing, scraping, unauthorised access, and token abuse before they impact operations. This is in contrast to general-purpose CDN services that often lack visibility into suspicious behaviours unique to video streaming, or in-house systems that only act locally and miss a global system view. Integrated into Broadpeak’s CDN, natively designed to deliver high-audience streaming events, the service scales seamlessly during traffic peaks – addressing mission-critical use cases in live sports and entertainment.

“Piracy is taking so much money out of our industry, the attacks are only growing, yet far too many video service providers aren’t doing enough to address it,” said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO at Broadpeak. “Implementing proper anti-piracy measures costs far less than the revenue losses caused by inaction. We’re uniquely placed to deliver streaming-specific security solutions that protect high-value content, at high scale, in real-time. Our complete solution fixes revenue loss with features that were exclusively designed for streaming.”

Broadpeak’s anti-piracy solution is available as an additional service within its CDN – whether deployed on-prem or via Broadpeak’s CDNaaS offering – and can be flexibly delivered as a managed service, fully-supported 24/7 by its global team of video specialists. The system integrates seamlessly within customers’ wider security feature set, ranging from web protection and digital rights management to security information and event management (SIEM) systems. Customers can easily expand their anti-piracy toolset by harnessing Broadpeak’s content protection solutions alongside those of several leading partners – including the joint solution in partnership with NAGRAVISION, strategically detecting, identifying, and disrupting pirate streams in real-time to combat sports piracy.
