About Azure Content Protection
Setting up and configuring a DRM license server in your system can be complicated. Azure Content Protection lets you set up major DRM license delivery (Microsoft PlayReady, Widevine, and FairPlay Streaming) in minutes. You define what type of licenses you want and we handle the infrastructure, security, and scalability. Azure Media Services gives you on-the-fly encryption for video on demand (VOD) and live streams. It’s also more cost-effective than traditional static encryption and packaging, because Media Services stores only one copy of standard multiple-bitrate MP4s and employs dynamic encryption. If your content key is ever compromised, simply call our APIs to change the key instead of re-encrypting your entire library.

Imatag
IMATAG protects your visual content online, such as product images, brand visuals, licensed content, or sensitive files.
Based on a patented technology of Invisible Watermark (or Forensic Watermark), it comes in two flavors:
- IMATAG LEAKS, the first online solution for the identification of photo or video leaks,
- and IMATAG MONITOR, the most reliable visual search solution to track the use of your content on the internet.
How it works:
The software discreetly places an imperceptible identifier at the pixel level of images or videos. This invisible watermark allows to identify your content on the web regardless if it has been resized, cropped or trimmed, posted on social media or copied via a screenshot. Used as a tracker, it is also able to trace the origin of a leak.
Supports images (photos, renders, design), videos, and PDF.
Available as SaaS via Web UI or API, or on premise software.
