Scale and security in the OTT Game

THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2020
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

About

The current epidemic has sent consumption of OTT content soaring but what will happen when things settle down? Is there enough content available to retain the army of new users?

As even more people come online to spend more time, the need to address security concerns has also been heightened. All this leads to issues of:

  • - Scaling for unprecedented times
  • - User acquisition and retention
  • - Content piracy
  • - Credential abuse
  • - Illegal recording of programmes

An expert panel made up of top business executives as well as CTOs will address the interplay of business and technology in this exciting, interactive webinar.

Agenda

You can buy the most expensive car with the highest horsepower but if you are driving on a jam-packed road you won't get to accelerate at all. Today, the video one demand platforms are spending tonnes of money to ensure they create and present high-quality content to the subscribers. However, when the number of concurrent users shoots up, the road can get jammed and the high-quality pictures can develop some grain spoiling the whole experience.

The lockdowns got people turning to OTT platforms in large numbers. But is it just a temporary spike in consumption or beginning of a new normal. In an exclusive session featuring the leaders of the over-the-top video streaming business, we are going to discuss scale, the process of content delivery. The importance of a safe road is well known, but what are the bumps when it comes to streaming through the world wide web. The dotcom world is getting cluttered and there are a few pirates too, it has become a challenge to keep the premium content safe and exclusive. What should a VOOT, ALTBalaji, EROS Now, Shemaroo, and the likes do to save their content from landing on Telegram or one of the proxy torrents? Do we have the necessary technology to control piracy? How big a role does security play in ensuring a seamless user experience?

We will try to find some answers and raise more concerns in this webinar.
