John Illingworth is now Business Development Director MEA at Friend MTS, a content and platform security company, which has introduced a new service to enable secure streaming of live video.
He was previously Sales Director, Middle East at Irdeto.
Illingworth is heading the MEA operations of Friend MTS. Friend solutions are able to both detect misappropriated live streams on a multitude of platforms and track them back to the source of the leak where they can be stopped in real time.
“Friend offers a solution that is not a single technology but offers several proprietary components combined to create an integrated service. The solutions offered include watermarking to secure live streamed videos, network forensics and video fingerprinting technologies,” John Illingworth told BroadcastPro ME. He recently represented the Friend MTS racing team at the Radical Middle East Cup held at Dubai Autodrome.
These security solutions are especially useful for high value events such as live sports, he commented. The security that they provide widens the opportunity for broadcasters and content owners to safely reach any connected device without risk, he added.
Friend MTS is promoting Exposé Source, claimed to be the worlds first streaming video security service that pinpoints live content leaks instantaneously.
“No other streaming security service is able to pinpoint the source of a live streaming video leak and shut it off,” added Illingworth.
