Multi-DRM Protection

Secure Premium Content Across Every Screen

Protect high-value digital content with enterprise-grade Multi-DRM licensing, secure encryption, and centralized policy management. Deliver seamless playback across browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and connected platforms.

Overview

What is Multi-DRM Protection? Modern audiences expect content to play instantly on any device — behind every successful playback is a complex security process: encryption, license management, device authentication, and entitlement validation, while managing multiple DRM vendors and integrations adds operational overhead and leaves support teams without the answers viewers escalate for most.

MediaFort delivers the appropriate DRM technology — Widevine, FairPlay, or PlayReady — automatically based on the viewer's device, through one unified platform with one API contract, one dashboard, and one support team.

Business Impact

Why It Matters

Device fragmentation and credential sharing are eroding revenue at scale. Multi-DRM isn't a technical checkbox — it's the foundation of a defensible content business.

63%Of subscribers expect playback on any device they own

Device diversity is accelerating, not slowing. Protecting content across every screen requires three separate DRM systems working in perfect concert.

$18BIn annual revenue lost to credential sharing globally

Weak license enforcement is the backdoor attackers exploit. Without session-level controls, stolen credentials generate unauthorized access at scale.

3Separate DRM systems required to protect every screen

No single DRM covers every platform. Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady must work together seamlessly — or content gaps appear.

Live Operations

License Dispatch
at Scale

  • Sub-50ms license delivery globally
  • Automatic DRM selection by device type
  • 10M+ concurrent sessions supported
  • Real-time health monitoring across all three systems
