Friend MTS wins anti piracy accolade in 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

The Friend MTS team recently celebrated winning the Anti Piracy award at the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. 

The award recognises the team’s pioneering Dynamic Delivery Server Blocking solution. Developed in 2017, this method of blocking has been used with outstanding performance by the Friend MTS team to protect content for broadcasters, content owners, and rights holders. 

Dynamic Real-Time Delivery Server Blocking focuses on video delivery servers, rather than front-end pirate services. With server blocking, access to illicit servers can be restricted in real-time. This drastically reduces the number of illegal streams available, encouraging viewers to watch their content on legitimate commercial sites. It therefore helps to maintain the value of that video content to the platforms that have licensed it. 

Dynamic Real-Time Delivery Server Blocking safeguards revenue streams, redirects diverted audiences, and significantly mitigates piracy.

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards celebrate and recognise companies, products, and professionals that demonstrate leadership, innovation, and excellence in information security. The winners were judged within their peer group defined by market segment, company size, and geography. 

“We congratulate Friend MTS on being recognized as an award winner in the Anti-Piracy category of the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders and founder of the 600,000-member Information Security Community on LinkedIn, which organizes the 9th annual Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “With over 600 entries across more than 300 categories, the awards are highly competitive. Your achievement reflects outstanding commitment to the core principles of excellence, innovation, and leadership in cybersecurity.”
